Measure twice, cut once
vEUA (virtual examination under anaesthesia) is a 3D, interactive report created by a radiologist to help guide surgical intervention and medical management of perianal fistula and abscess.
It is intended to increase confidence of anorectal surgeons, reduce likelihood of repeat surgery, reduce time to start medical management, and facilitate treat-to-target for gastroenterologists.
It is important in cases where existing scores, including the Van Assche, do not change, but size of collection, fibrosis or length of tract do.
Use vEUA not just to assess treatment, but to also identify patients for clinical trials.
