Evisceración del intestino delgado estrangulado en una anciana con douglascele / Evisceration of the impacted small bowel in an elderly with douglascele

Se presenta el caso clínico de una anciana de 86 años de edad con evisceración del intestino delgado a través del periné. Se efectuó la exploración quirúrgica urgente del abdomen y se observó la perforación del fondo del saco de Douglas y la salida de 50 cm de intestino delgado estrangulado, de manera que se realizó la resección intestinal de todo el segmento afectado y anastomosis termino-terminal. Luego se reparó el defecto del fondo del saco de Douglas con una plastia perineal, para lo cual se utilizó una malla de polipropileno. Este proceder es una buena alternativa para el tratamiento quirúrgico en quienes presentan hernias perineales, pues permite un cierre mejor, disecar el saco herniario y reducirlo adecuadamente.

The case report of a 86 years elderly is presented with evisceration of the small bowel through the perineum. The urgent surgical exploration of the abdomen was carried out and it was observed the perforation of the Douglas pouch and the 50 cm prominence of impacted small bowel, so that the bowel resection of the whole affected segment and end to end anastomosis was carried out. Then the Douglas pouch defect was repaired with a perineal plasty, for which a polypropylene mesh was used. This procedure is a good alternative for the surgical treatment in those who present perineal hernias, because it allows a better closing, to dissect the hernial sack and to reduce it appropriately.

Comparison of Decellularized Bubaline Diaphragmatic Scaffold with Synthetic Polygalactin and Polypropylene Composite Mesh for Perineal Hernioplasty in Dogs

Present study was planned to compare xenogenic decellularized bubaline diaphragmatic scaffold with synthetic polygalactin and polypropylene composite mesh for repair of perineal hernia in dogs. Twelve dogs suffering with perineal hernia were randomly divided in to two equal groups. In group I perineal hernioplasty was done with Synthetic polygalactin and polypropylene composite mesh while in group II, with decellularized bubaline diaphragmatic scaffold (dBDS). Mean surgical time was 59.17 ± 14.04 and 57.50 ± 6.15 minute in group I and II respectively. Swelling, redness and warmth increased significantly (p<0.05) on day 3 in both the groups. In group II initially significantly (p<0.05) increased exudation was observed on day 3 which reduced gradually. Degree of pain after surgery was significantly (P<0.05) decrease on day 3 in both the groups. Neutrophil count was significantly (p<0.05) increased and correspondingly lymphocyte count significantly (p<0.05) decreased on day 7 in group I while in group II no significant difference within the group was observed. Colour Doppler ultrasonographic examination revealed no vascularization on 0 day in both the groups. Neovascularization was observed on day 30 in group I and day 14 in group II on Colour Doppler ultrasonographic examination. It was increased on day 90 in both the groups. The complication encountered in the present study includes local seroma, suture dehiscence due to self mutilation, constipation and fistula formation. Decellularized bubaline diaphragmatic scaffold was well accepted by all the animals and showed less complication than synthetic mesh

Mesh-Based Transperineal Repair of a Perineal Hernia After a Laparoscopic Abdominoperineal Resection

A perineal hernia (PH) is formed by a protrusion of intra-abdominal viscera through a defect in the pelvic floor. This is a rare complication after a conventional abdominoperineal resection (APR). However, the risk of a PH may be increased after a laparoscopic resection because this technique can cause fewer postoperative adhesions, predisposing the small bowel to sliding down toward the pelvis. However, only a few case reports describe the transperineal approach for the repair of a PH after a laparoscopic APR. We present a case of a PH after a laparoscopic APR; the PH was repaired with synthetic mesh by using a transperineal approach. A transperineal approach using a mesh to reconstruct the pelvic floor is less invasive and more effective. We suggest that this technique should probably be the first choice for treating an uncomplicated PH that occurs after a laparoscopic APR.

Correction of rectal sacculation through lateral resection in dogs with perineal hernia - technique description / Correção de saculação retal por meio de ressecção lateral em cães com hérnia perineal - descrição da técnica

The occurrence of perineal hernias in dogs during routine clinical surgery is frequent. The coexistence of rectal diseases that go undiagnosed or are not correctly treated can cause recurrence and postoperative complications. The objective of this report is to describe a surgical technique for treatment of rectal sacculation through lateral resection in dogs with perineal hernia, whereby restoring the rectal integrity.

A ocorrência de hérnias perineais em cães na rotina clínica cirúrgica é frequente. A coexistência de doenças do reto não diagnosticadas ou não tratadas corretamente pode causar recidiva e complicações pós-operatórias. Este relato tem como objetivo descrever uma técnica cirúrgica para o tratamento de saculação retal por meio de ressecção lateral em cães com hérnia perineal, com restabelecimento da integridade retal.

Use of canine small intestinal submucosa allograft for treating perineal hernias in two dogs

Here, we describe two dogs in which canine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was implanted as a biomaterial scaffold during perineal herniorrhaphy. Both dogs had developed severe muscle weakness, unilaterally herniated rectal protrusions, and heart problems with potential anesthetic risks. Areas affected by the perineal hernia (PH) located between the internal obturator and external anal sphincter muscles were reconstructed with naive canine SIS sheets. In 12 months, post-operative complications such as wound infections, sciatic paralysis, rectal prolapse, or recurrence of the hernia were not observed. Symptoms of defecatory tenesmus also improved. Neither case showed any signs of rejection or specific immune responses as determined by complete and differential cell counts. Our findings demonstrate that canine SIS can be used as a biomaterial scaffold for PH repair in dogs.

Avaliação do tratamento cirúrgico da hérnia perineal em cães com o reforço de membrana de pericárdio equino preservado em glicerina a 98 / Evaluation of perineal hernia surgical treatment in dogs with the reinforcement of equine pericardium preserved in glycerine 98

A utilização de membrana biológica constitui-se método alternativo na reparação de hérnia perineal, e avaliar suaeficiência como reforço após a herniorrafia pela técnica de elevação do músculo obturador interno consiste no objetivodeste trabalho. Para tanto, utilizaram-se dez cães atendidos no Serviço de Cirurgia de Pequenos Animais do HospitalVeterinário da FMVZ/USP. Os animais foram distribuídos em dois grupos, GI e GII, com cinco representantes em cadaum. A hérnia perineal foi corrigida pela técnica de elevação do músculo obturador interno em ambos os grupos, sendoque o grupo GII ganhou reforço no diafragma pélvico com enxerto de retalho de pericárdio equino Puro Sangue Inglês,conservado em glicerina a 98%. Os animais foram avaliados por até 90 dias de pós-operatório, mediante análises clínica,ultrassonográfica e radiográfica da região perineal. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que houve reforço no local daherniorrafia ao se fixar o pericárdio de equino conservado em glicerina a 98%, diminuindo a ocorrência de deiscênciade pontos e ruptura do diafragma operado

The use of biological membrane constitutes an alternative method to repair perineal hernia, and evaluate its performanceas a reinforcement after herniorrhaphy by of raising internal obturator muscle was the goal of this study. Ten dogsadmitted at the Department of Small Animal Surgery Veterinary Hospital of FMVZ / USP were included. Animalswere equally divided into two groups, GI and GII. Perineal hernia was corrected by the elevating the internal obturatormuscle in both groups, but in group GII won the strengthening of the pelvic diaphragm flap of equine pericardiumpure English Thoroughbred, preserved in glycerol to 98%. The animals were evaluated until 90 days post-operativelyby clinical examination, ultrasound and radiographic images of the perineal region. The results showed that therewere enhanced at the site of the hernia with equine pericardium preserved in glycerol 98%, reducing the occurrence ofdehiscence points and rupture of the diaphragm operated

Colopexia e deferentopexia associadas à omentopexia no tratamento da hérnia perineal em cães: um estudo de trinta casos / Colopexy and deferentopexy associated with omentopexy in the treatment of perineal hernia in dogs: Study of thirty cases

Diversas técnicas cirúrgicas têm sido propostas para correção da hérnia perineal em cães e, independentemente do método utilizado, o risco cirúrgico relacionado ao estado clínico e à idade do animal deve ser sempre considerado. O comprometimento do trato urinário e/ou digestório é frequente, e o paciente geriátrico pode apresentar problemas múltiplos que afetam consideravelmente sua tolerância à anestesia, à cirurgia e a infecções. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se avaliar o emprego da colopexia e da deferentopexia associadas à omentopexia como terapêutica cirúrgica alternativa em 30 cães idosos, comprometidos sistemicamente, portadores de hérnia perineal e anomalia retal concomitante. A análise dos casos permitiu verificar que a associação de procedimentos possibilitou a inspeção e avaliação dos órgãos abdominais, particularmente os implicados como conteúdo herniário; a restauração do formato linear do colo distal, reduzindo seu diâmetro e favorecendo o retorno à função normal; fixação eficaz e segura no reposicionamento cranial da próstata e bexiga, evitando posteriores deslocamentos caudais; e satisfatória reparação tecidual e oclusão do defeito no diafragma pélvico. Dessa forma, concluiu-se que a técnica cirúrgica proposta tem significativo valor terapêutico quando empregada em portadores de hérnia perineal e saculação retal concomitante.

Several surgical techniques have been proposed for perineal hernia correction in dogs and regardless of the used method the surgical risk related to clinical status and animal age should always be considered, since the involvement of the urinary tract and/or digestive tract is frequent and the geriatric patient can present multiple problems that significantly affect their tolerance to anesthesia, surgery and infections. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the use of colopexy and deferentopexy associated with omentopexy as surgical alternative in 30 elderly dogs, systemically compromised, which had perineal hernia and concomitant rectal anomaly. The cases analysis showed that the proposed surgical technique allowed the inspection and evaluation of abdominal organs, particularly those with hernial content involved; the distal colon linear format restoration, reducing its diameter and encouraging a normal function return, effective setting and secure cranial prostate and urinary bladder repositioning, avoiding further caudal displacement; satisfactory tissue repair and defect occlusion of the pelvic diaphragm. Thus, it was concluded that the proposed procedure has therapeutic value for dogs with perineal hernia and concomitant rectal sacculation.

Avaliação do tratamento da hérnia perineal bilateral no cão por acesso dorsal ao ânus / Evaluation of surgical treatment in dogs with bilateral perineal hernia by dorsal anus access

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a evolução e as complicações pós-operatórias do tratamento de hérnias perineais bilaterais, por acesso dorsal ao ânus, em 14 cães com idade entre seis e 12 anos. Realizou-se incisão em forma de 'U' invertido, a qual se estendeu desde a porção lateral da tuberosidade isquiática do lado esquerdo, curvando-se em direção à linha mediana, dois centímetros dorsalmente ao ânus e dirigindo-se simetricamente para a extremidade da tuberosidade isquiática contralateral. Após redução da hérnia, os músculos do diafragma pélvico direito e esquerdo foram suturados pela técnica de elevação do músculo obturador interno. As complicações observadas no período pós-operatório foram incontinência fecal, contaminação da ferida, deiscência de pontos da sutura cutânea, incontinência urinária e recidiva em um cão 19 dias após procedimento cirúrgico. O acesso utilizado foi exequível e todos os cães submetidos à técnica operatória proposta não apresentaram recidivas em um período entre cinco e dez meses de avaliação pós-operatório.

Observing the evolution and complications in the treatment of bilateral perineal hernias by dorsal access to the anus was the objective of this study. Fourteen dogs of various breeds were operated with an inverted "U" shaped incision, which extended from the lateral portion of the tuberosity Isquiatica on the left, bending into the direction of the midline, dorsally to anus and heading out symmetrically to the tip of the tuberosity Isquiatica contralateral. After reduction of the hernia, the right and left muscles of the pelvic diaphragm were sutured by the technique of raising the internal obturator muscle. The complications observed in the postoperative period were fecal incontinence, contamination of the wound, dehiscence of suture points of the skin, urinary incontinence and recurrence in a dog with 19 days after surgery. The access used was feasible and all dogs undergoing surgical technical proposal showed no recurrence in a period of five to ten months of postoperative assessment.

Hérnia perineal primária: relato de caso / Primary perineal hernia: case report

As hérnias perineais primárias resultam de um defeito no assoalho pélvico que permite a passagem de conteúdo abdominal para a região pelve-perineal. É uma enfermidade rara, tendo sido descritos menos de cem casos até hoje. Apresentamos o caso de uma paciente jovem com queixa recente de tumoração glútea dolorosa que, mesmo após o exame físico e tomográfico, não teve sua etiologia esclarecida. Foi então submetida à ressecção cirúrgica da lesão via perineal, quando se confirmou tratar-se de saco herniário isquiorretal esquerdo transpondo defeito no músculo elevador do ânus. Evoluiu sem intercorrências no pósoperatório e sem indícios de recidiva.

Primary perineal hernias result from a defect in the pelvic floor. It is a rare disease, having been described less than one hundred cases until today. We present a case of a young patient with recent complaint of painful gluteal tumor that even after the physical examination and CT did not clarified its etiology. She was submitted to a perineal resection of the lesion that confirmed being a hernia. She is going well without recurrence.
