ABSTRACT

El procedimiento de apendicostomía continente para la realización de enemas anterógrados ha sido publicado ya hace varios años para el tratamiento de la incontinencia fecal y del estreñimiento de muy difícil manejo. Otra indicación del mismo incluye el estreñimiento severo, en el cual se agotaron las medidas farmacológicas y el único tratamiento efectivo es la realización de enemas. El objetivo principal del procedimiento es ofrecer a los niños y sus familias una alternativa a la hora de realizar los enemas, logrando una mayor adherencia al tratamiento y buscando alcanzar una mejor calidad de vida que permita adecuarse a las actividades con sus pares. Por otra parte permite al niño ir logrando cierta independencia gradual a medida que crezca, preparándolos para el futuro y haciéndolos participes activos de su cuidado. Se describen los primeros casos en donde utilizamos en nuestro medio el abordaje laparoscópico, sus indicaciones, la técnica quirúrgica y los resultados iniciales. Hemos constatado como ventaja principal los beneficios del abordaje mínimamente invasivo, como la exploración completa de la cavidad abdominal, el menor dolor postoperatorio, cicatrices más pequeñas, menor creación de adherencias.


The appendicostomy procedure for performing antegrade enemas has been published several years ago for the treatment of fecal incontinence and constipation that are very difficult to manage. The Malone procedure is performed in our setting, especially in patients with fecal incontinence secondary to neurological disorders such as myelomeningocele using a conventional approach. Other indications of it is severe constipation, in which pharmacological measures have been exhausted and the only effective treatment is enemas. The main objective of the procedure is to offer children and their families an alternative when performing enemas, achieving greater adherence to treatment and seeking to achieve a better quality of life that allows them to adapt to the activities of their peers. On the other hand, it allows the child to achieve a certain gradual independence as they grow, preparing them for the future and making them active participants in their care. The first cases in which we use the laparoscopic approach, its indications, the surgical technique and the initial results are described. We think that its main advantage is the benefits of the minimally invasive approach, such as complete exploration of the abdominal cavity, less postoperative pain, smaller scars, and less creation of adhesions.


O procedimento de apendicostomia continente para a realização de enemas anterógrados foi publicado há vários anos para o tratamento de incontinência fecal e constipação de difícil manejo. Outra indicação inclui constipação grave, na qual as medidas farmacológicas foram esgotadas e o único tratamento eficaz são os enemas. O principal objetivo do procedimento é oferecer às crianças e seus familiares uma alternativa na realização dos enemas, alcançando maior adesão ao tratamento e buscando alcançar uma melhor qualidade de vida que lhes permita adaptar-se às atividades com seus pares. Por outro lado, permite que a criança alcance uma certa independência gradual à medida que cresce, preparando-a para o futuro e tornando-a participante ativa em seus cuidados. São descritos os primeiros casos em que utilizamos a via laparoscópica, suas indicações, a técnica cirúrgica e os resultados iniciais. Confirmamos os benefícios da abordagem minimamente invasiva como principal vantagem, como exploração completa da cavidade abdominal, menos dor pós-operatória, cicatrizes menores e menor formação de aderências.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The results from sphincteroplasty may worsen over time. Reseparation of the rectum and vagina/scrotum in conjunction with sphincteroplasty achieves good results. Improving the surgical effect of sphincteroplasty through perineal body reconstruction is crucial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term results from anterior sphincteroplasty and perineal body reconstruction (modified sphincteroplasty) among patients with traumatic sphincter injury. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study among patients who underwent modified sphincteroplasty in a university hospital between January 2006 and December 2018. Fifty patients were evaluated in detail. METHODS: The following variables were evaluated: gender, age, additional disease status, time interval between trauma and surgery, surgical technique, duration of hospitalization, follow-up period after surgery, manometric values, electromyography results, magnetic resonance imaging scans, Wexner scores, satisfaction levels with surgery and surgical outcomes. RESULTS: The patients' mean age was 44.6 ± 15.1 years. The median follow-up period was 62 months (range, 12-118). The mean Wexner scores preoperatively, postoperatively in first month (M1S) and at the time of this report (AAS) were 15.5 ± 3.2, 1.9 ± 3.15 and 3.9 ± 5.3, respectively. Although improvements in the patients' mean Wexner scores became impaired over time, the postoperative Wexner scores were still significantly better than the preoperative Wexner scores (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Good or excellent results were obtained surgically among patients with traumatic sphincter injury. Performing perineal body reconstruction in addition to sphincteroplasty can provide better long-term continence. Surgical outcomes were found to be better, especially among patients younger than 50 years of age and among patients who underwent surgery within the first five years after trauma.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose: Faecal incontinence (FI) is a frequent condition that can occur due to different causes; with negative impact on self-esteem and quality of life, secondary morbidity, disability and significant costs. For its treatment there is a wide range of options, being medical treatment, hygienic dietary modifications and biofeedback, the first line of treatment; reserving surgery for patients who do not respond or with severe FI; this with variable success rates and high cost. This study has the primary aim to assess the efficacy and describe the Technique of Application of Autologous Fat with Platelet Rich Plasma (AFPRiP) in patients with faecal incontinence as well as secondary endpoints of quality of life, manometric and ultrasound evaluation, safety of implantation, and complications. Methods: A single-centre prospective, experimental study, was conducted from January 2017 to February 2018 in Domingo Luciani Hospital. Wexner and FIQL scores were filled preoperative and compared at follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months as well as anorectal manometry and endoanal ultrasound were performed before and 6 months after surgery. Results: Twelve patients were operated, mean time 43 min, no major complications. Wexner finding continence improvement from 10.4 pre to 4 in the 3rd month (p = 0.066) 4.74 at the 6th month (p = 0.001) and 5 at one year (p = 0.001); that is, improvement of >50% in 83.4%. FIQL 50.9 prior to 98.6 at 3rd month (p = 0.001) 95.5 to 6th month (p = 0.001) and 91.3 a year (p = 0.066). Conclusions: We conclude that AFPRiP is innovative, safe and with adequate results.


Resumo Objetivo: A incontinência fecal é uma condição frequente que pode ocorrer devido a diferentes causas, com impacto negativo na autoestima e qualidade de vida, morbidade secundária, incapacidade e custos significativos. Existem várias opções para o manejo da incontinência fecal; o tratamento médico, as modificações higiênicas da dieta e o biofeedback, são os de primeira linha. A cirurgia é recomendada apenas para pacientes que não respondem ao tratamento de primeira linha ou aqueles com incontinência fecal grave; as taxas de sucesso são variáveis e o custo do tratamento cirúrgico é elevado. Este estudo teve como objetivo principal avaliar a eficácia e descrever a técnica de aplicação de gordura autóloga com plasma rico em plaquetas (AFPRiP) em pacientes com incontinência fecal; o estudo também avaliou parâmetros secundários de qualidade de vida, manométricos e ultrassonográficos, bem como a segurança da implantação e suas complicações. Métodos: Um estudo experimental prospectivo, de centro único, foi realizado de janeiro de 2017 a fevereiro de 2018 no Hospital Domingo Luciani. A escala de Wexner e o FIQL foram preenchidos no pré-operatório e comparados no seguimento de três, seis e 12 meses; manometria anorretal e ultrassonografia endoanal foram realizadas antes e seis meses após a cirurgia. Resultados: Doze pacientes foram operados; o tempo médio da cirurgia foi de 43 minutos, sem maiores complicações. Na escala de Wexner, observou-se melhora na continência: de 10,4 pré-operatório a 4 no terceiro mês (p = 0,066), 4,74 no sexto mês (p = 0,001) e 5 em um ano (p = 0,001), uma melhoria de 83,4%. Já o FIQL evoluiu de 50,9 no período pré-operatório para 98,6 no terceiro mês (p = 0,001), 95,5 no sexto mês (p = 0,001) e 91,3 em um ano (p = 0,066). Conclusões: A AFPRiP é uma técnica inovadora, segura e que apresenta resultados adequados.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: Anal sphincteroplasty with Deoti's flap is a recently published procedure for the treatment of fecal incontinence with severe perineal deformity. The aim of this study is to report six cases of patients, analyzing their results in fecal incontinence questionnaires and proposing a new scale to better assess our technique's main objective, the reconstruction of the perianal anatomy. Methods: Six patients were submitted to anal sphincteroplasty with Deoti's flap and follow-up was performed every six months. Functional results and Quality of Life were measured by Wexner Score and Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale, respectively. Results: All operations were carried out without failure to perform Deoti's flap rotation. The sample presented medians of 18.5 and 3.5 on Wexner Score, before and after surgery, respectively. In the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale, the medians before and after surgery are, respectively, 1.75 and 3.35 (Scale 1), 1.54 and 2.60 (Scale 2), 2.35 and 3.28 (Scale 3), 1.49 and 3.33 (Scale 4). The p-values were 0.0173 for Wexner Score and 0.0260, 0.0411, 0.0368 and 0.0952 for Scales 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale, respectively. All patients presented sustained improvement in Wexner Score and in quality of life questionnaire (in all scales of Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale). Conclusions: Deoti's surgical flap with sphincteroplasty successfully reconstructs complex anatomical deformities of the perineum. Current questionnaires to assess fecal incontinence may not evaluate properly the anatomical result of the technique, thus we propose a visual scale. In addition, sphincteroplasty with Deoti's flap may have longer-term outcomes in functional results than sphincteroplasty alone.


RESUMO Objetivos: A esfincteroplastia anal com retalho Deoti é um procedimento publicado recentemente para o tratamento de deformidade perineal grave. O objetivo deste estudo é relatar seis pacientes, analisando seus resultados em questionários de incontinência fecal e propondo uma nova escala para avaliar melhor o objetivo principal da nossa técnica, a reconstrução da anatomia perianal. Métodos: Seis pacientes foram submetidos à esfincteroplastia anal com retalho de Deoti e o acompanhamento foi realizado a cada seis meses. Os resultados funcionais e a qualidade de vida foram medidos pelas Escalas Wexner Score e FIQL, respectivamente. Resultados: Não houve falhas na rotação do retalho Deoti. A amostra apresentou medianas de 18,5 e 3,5 na Wexner Score, antes e depois da cirurgia, respectivamente. Na Escala FIQL, as medianas antes e depois da cirurgia são, respectivamente, 1,75 e 3,35 (Escala 1); 1,54 e 2,60 (Escala 2); 2,35 e 3,28 (Escala 3); 1,49 e 3,33 (Escala 4). Os valores de p foram 0,0173 para Wexner Score e 0,0260; 0,0411; 0,0368 e 0,0952 para Escalas 1; 2; 3 e 4 de FIQL, respectivamente. Todos os pacientes apresentaram melhora sustentada na pontuação de Wexner e no questionário de qualidade de vida (em todas as escalas do FIQL). Conclusões: O retalho de Deoti com esfincteroplastia reconstrói com sucesso as deformidades anatômicas complexas do períneo. Os questionários atuais para avaliar a incontinência fecal podem não avaliar adequadamente o resultado anatômico da técnica, por isso propomos uma escala visual. Além disso, a esfincteroplastia com retalho de Deoti pode apresentar resultados funcionais mais duradouros do que a esfincteroplastia isolada.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: It is important but difficult to treat complex fistula-in-ano due to the high recurrent rate and following incontinence. Ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT), a novel surgical procedure with the advantage of avoiding anal incontinence, has a variable success rate of 57-94.4 %. Aim: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of modified LIFT operative procedure - ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract - to treat complex fistula-in-ano. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 62 cases of complex fistula-in-ano. The group was treated with the modified approach of LIFT (curved incision was made in the anal canal skin; purse-string suture was performed around the fistula; the residual fistulas were removed in a tunnel-based way) and had a follow-up time of more than one year. Patient´s preoperative general condition, postoperative efficacy and their anal function were compared. Results: The median age of the participants was 34, and 43 (69.4%) cases were male. Forty-one (66.1%) cases were of high transsphincteric fistula, four (6.5%) cases of high intrasphincter fistula, and 17 (27.4%) cases of anterior anal fistula in female. The median follow-up duration was 24.5 (range, 12-51) months. The success rate in the end of follow-up was 83.9% (52/62). The anorectal pressure and Cleveland Clinic Florida Fecal Incontinence (CCF-FI) evaluated three months before and after the operation did not find apparent changes. Conclusions: Compared with LIFT, the modified LIFT remarkably reduces postoperative failure and the recurrence rate of complex fistula with acceptable long-term outcomes.


RESUMO Racional: É importante, mas difícil de se tratar fístula anal complexa devido à alta taxa de recorrência e de incontinência pós-operatória. A ligadura do trajeto da fístula interesfincteriana (LIFT) - um novo procedimento cirúrgico com a vantagem de evitar a incontinência anal - tem taxa de sucesso variável entre 57-94,4%. Objetivo: Avaliar os resultados em longo prazo do procedimento cirúrgico LIFT modificado - ligadura do trato interesfincteriano com fístula - para tratar fístula complexa anal. Métodos: Análise retrospectiva de 62 casos de fístula complexa no ânus tratados com abordagem modificada de LIFT (incisão curva na pele do canal anal; sutura em bolsa realizada em torno da fístula; as fístulas residuais removidas em um túnel) e teve tempo de acompanhamento de mais de um ano. A condição geral pré-operatória dos pacientes, a eficácia pós-operatória e a função anal foram comparadas. Resultados: A mediana de idade dos participantes foi de 34 anos, e 43 (69,4%) dos casos eram de homens. Quarenta e um (66,1%) casos eram de fístula transesfincteriana alta, quatro (6,5%) de fístula intra-esfincteriana alta e 17 (27,4%) de fístula anal anterior em mulheres. A mediana da duração do acompanhamento foi de 24,5 meses (12-51). A taxa de sucesso no final do acompanhamento foi de 83,9% (52/62). A pressão anorretal e a Incontinência Fecal da Cleveland Clinic Florida (CCF-FI) avaliadas três meses antes e após a operação não encontraram alterações aparentes. Conclusões: Comparado com o LIFT, o LIFT modificado reduz notavelmente a falha pós-operatória e a taxa de recorrência de fístula complexa com resultados aceitáveis em longo prazo.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: Anal incontinence is a very stigmatizing condition, which affects biopsychosocially the patient. It is a neglected, but quite common complication of obstetric and anorectal surgery, however it has treatment options. None of the treatment options have exceptional efficacy rates and still associated with risk of recurrence. The surgery techniques known are: anterior and posterior shortening procedure; post-anal repair; anterior elevator plasty and external sphincter plication; total pelvic floor repair and sphincter repair. None of them use a flap rotation of adipose tissue. The purpose is to propose a new surgery technique of anal sphincteroplasty, which uses flap rotation, for severe perineal deformity associated with anal incontinence. Methods: Patient with severe perineal deformity and anal incontinence treated with a new surgery technique of sphincteroplasty with flap rotation. Results: The severe perineal deformity was corrected with both esthetic and functional results. Anal continence measured by Wexner and Jorge assessment in a follow-up period of 2 years after the intervention. Pictures and video show esthetic and functional aspects. Conclusion: This is the first time that a flap rotation is used to treat a severe perineal deformity. And the technique presented promising outcomes, which allows perineum reconstruction that is similar to the original anatomy. Therefore, this technique is justified to better evaluate its efficiency and the impact on patients' prognosis.


RESUMO Objetivo: A incontinência anal é uma condição muito estigmatizante, que afeta biopsicossocialmente o paciente. É uma complicação negligenciada, mas bastante comum da cirurgia obstétrica e anorretal, no entanto, tem opções de tratamento. Nenhuma das opções de tratamento tem taxas de eficácia excepcionais e ainda está associada ao risco de recorrência. As técnicas cirúrgicas conhecidas são: procedimento de encurtamento anterior e posterior; reparação pós-anal; plástica do elevador anterior e plicatura externa do esfíncter; reparo total do assoalho pélvico e reparo do esfíncter. Nenhum deles utiliza uma rotação de retalho de tecido adiposo. O objetivo é propor uma nova técnica cirúrgica de esfincteroplastia anal, que utiliza a rotação de retalho, para deformidade perineal grave associada à incontinência anal. Métodos: Paciente com deformidade perineal grave e incontinência anal tratada com nova técnica cirúrgica de esfincteroplastia com rotação de retalho. Resultados: A deformidade perineal grave foi corrigida com resultados estéticos e funcionais. Continência anal medida pela avaliação de Wexner & Jorge em um período de seguimento de 2 anos após a intervenção. Imagens e vídeo mostram aspectos estéticos e funcionais. Conclusão: Esta é a primeira vez que uma rotação de retalho é usada para tratar uma deformidade perineal grave. E a técnica apresentou resultados promissores, o que permite a reconstrução do períneo semelhante à anatomia original. Portanto, esta técnica é justificada para melhor avaliar sua eficiência e o impacto no prognóstico dos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Summary Introduction: Patients operated for correction of anorectal malformations (ARM) can develop fecal incontinence, constipation, and soiling, with loss in quality of life. Objective: To evaluate, through the use of questionnaires, fecal continence, and quality of life of children in the late postoperative follow-up of ARM correction, both high and low. In addition, the levels of fecal continence and quality of life were compared with those of a control group. Method: A Fecal Continence Index Questionnaire (ICF) and a Questionnaire for Assessment of Quality of Life Related to Fecal Continence in Children and Adolescents (QQVCFCA) were administered to 63 patients with ARM, aged from 7 to 19 years, whose surgical treatment had been completed for at least 6 months. The patients were compared to a control group of 59 children. Results: In the control group, 25 (42.4%) patients had good continence and 34 (57.6%), normal continence. We found that the quality of life in children with ARM is compromised globally, in all areas and in the ICF questionnaire, compared to controls (p<0.001). There was no difference between patients with high and low defects. Thirty-two (50.8%) patients had other associated anomalies. Conclusion: In patients operated for ARM correction, quality of life and ICF were compromised, and there was no difference between patients with high-type and low-type of the disease. In about half the cases there are other associated malformations.


Resumo Introdução: os pacientes operados para correção de malformações anorretais (MAR) podem evoluir com incontinência fecal, constipação e soiling, com prejuízo na qualidade de vida. Objetivo: avaliar pela aplicação de questionários a continência fecal e a qualidade de vida de crianças no seguimento pós-operatório tardio de correção de MAR, formas altas e baixas. Também foram comparados os índices de continência fecal e qualidade de vida com um grupo controle de crianças. Método: foram utilizados o Questionário para o Índice de Continência Fecal (ICF) e o Questionário para Avaliar a Qualidade de Vida Relativa à Continência Fecal em Crianças e Adolescentes (QQVCFCA). Os questionários foram aplicados em 63 pacientes de 7 a 19 anos com MAR, com tratamento cirúrgico finalizado há pelo menos 6 meses. Os pacientes foram comparados com um grupo controle de 59 crianças. Resultados: nos pacientes do grupo controle, 25 (42,4%) apresentaram boa continência e 34 (57,6%), normal. A qualidade de vida nas crianças com MAR está comprometida globalmente, em todos os domínios e no ICF, quando comparada com a dos controles (p<0,001). Não houve diferença entre os pacientes com anomalias altas e anomalias baixas. Trinta e dois (50,8%) pacientes apresentaram outras anomalias associadas. Conclusão: nos pacientes operados para correção de MAR, qualidade de vida e ICF foram comprometidos, não havendo diferença entre os pacientes com as formas altas ou baixas da doença. Em cerca de metade dos casos existem outras malformações associadas.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Sphincter repair is the primary management for fecal incontinence especially in traumatic causes. Regardless of progression in the method and material of sphincter repair, the results are still disappointing. This study evaluates the efficacy of using amniotic membrane during sphincteroplasty regarding its effects in healing of various tissues. Methods: Rabbits undergone sphincterotomy and after three weeks end to end sphincteroplasty was done. Animals divided to three groups: classic sphincteroplasty, sphincteroplasty with fresh amniotic membrane and sphincteroplasty with decellularized amniotic membrane. Three weeks after sphincteroplasty animals were sacrificed and sphincter complex was sent for histopathologic evaluation. Sphincter muscle diameter and composition of sphincter was evaluated. Before sphincterotomy, before and after sphincteroplasty electromyography of sphincter at the site of repair were recorded. Results: No statistical significant difference was seen between groups even in histopathology or electromyography. Conclusion: Although amniotic showed promising effects in the healing of different tissue in animal and human studies it was not effective in healing of injured sphincter.


Objetivo: Reparo do esfíncter é o tratamento primário para casos de incontinência fecal, especialmente em causas traumáticas. Independentemente da progressão no método e do material de reparo do esfíncter, os resultados são ainda desapontadores. Esse estudo avalia a eficácia do uso da membrana amniótica durante a esfincteroplastia, com relação aos seus efeitos na cura de diversos tecidos. Métodos: Coelhos foram submetidos a um procedimento de esfincterotomia e, depois de transcorridas três semanas, foi realizada uma esfincteroplastia término-terminal. Os animais foram divididos em três grupos: esfincteroplastia clássica, esfincteroplastia com membrana amniótica fresca, e esfincteroplastia com membrana amniótica descelularizada. Três semanas após a realização da esfincteroplastia, os animais foram sacrificados e o complexo esfinctérico foi encaminhado para avaliação histopatológica. O diâmetro do músculo esfinctérico e a composição do esfíncter foram avaliados. Antes da esfincterotomia, e antes e depois da esfincteroplastia, foi registrada a eletromiografia do esfíncter no local do reparo. Resultados: Não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos, mesmo na histopatologia, ou na eletromiografia. Conclusão: Embora a membrana amniótica tenha demonstrado efeitos promissores em termos da cicatrização dos diferentes tecidos em estudos com animais e em humanos, não foi observada eficácia na cura do esfíncter lesionado.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to evaluate the complications of sacral nerve stimulation for the treatment of fecal incontinence. Background: sacral nerve stimulation is considered to be nowadays an effective treatment for fecal incontinence in selected patients. Many authors have reported excellent results and indication for his use have increased. Nevertheless, even being a simple technique, not it exempts this from complications. Methods: fifty-two patients with severe faecal incontinence, treated with sacral nerve stimulation between january 2002 and december 2010, were analysed. All adverse events during follow-up were recorded. Results: there was not surgical complication during peripheral neural evaluation test. In our series, with an average follow-up to 55.52 +/- 31.84 months (range: 12-121), we had a rate of adverse effects of 14 percent, infection of surgical wound in two patients, break of electrode in two patients and the presence of pain in the place of the implant, with episodes of extremity pain and paresthesias in low members in 3 patients. Conclusions: sacral nerve stimulation in severe fecal incontinence is a safe treatment, with a low index of complications.


Objetivo: evaluar las complicaciones de la neuromodulación de raíces sacras en el tratamiento de la incontinencia fecal. Introducción: la neuromodulación de raíces sacras ha sido descrita como un tratamiento quirúrgico eficaz en pacientes con incontinencia fecal grave. Muchos autores han comunicado excelentes resultados y las indicaciones en su uso han aumentado. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser una técnica quirúrgica sencilla, no está exenta de complicaciones. Material y Método: 52 pacientes con incontinencia fecal grave, tratados mediante neuromodulación de raíces sacras entre enero de 2002 y diciembre de 2010, fueron analizados. Todas las complicaciones, tanto durante la implantación del dispositivo como durante el seguimiento, fueron registradas. Resultados: no se registraron complicaciones durante la prueba de estimulación. En nuestra serie, con un seguimiento de 55,52 +/- 31,84 meses, observamos un 14 por ciento de efectos adversos, infección de la herida quirúrgica en dos pacientes, rotura o movilización del electrodo en 2 pacientes y dolor y parestesias en 3 pacientes. Discusión: la neuroestimulación de raíces sacras en el tratamiento de la incontinencia fecal es un tratamiento seguro, con un bajo índice de complicaciones.

ABSTRACT

To report the medical and surgical management of fecal incontinence in children after repair of high imperforate anus. Thirty-seven children with fecal incontinence post repair of high imperforate anus were recruited between January 2000 and July 2007 at Aseer General Hospital, Abha, and Alhada Military Hospital, Taif, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The decision for surgery [dynamic graciloplasty] was based on the degree of incontinence and failure to respond to medical treatment. Five children were operated from the start according to the input of history, examination, and investigations [incontinence score of 15-20]. The remaining 32 patients were treated medically. Those cases that failed to respond to medical treatment had alternatively biofeedback therapy. Cases that failed to respond to biofeedback therapy underwent surgery. Response to medical treatment is favorable [71%]. Biofeedback showed discouraging results [22%] Dynamic graciloplasty showed excellent outcome [100% improvement in continence on long term follow up]. Based on history, examination, and investigations, recruited cases were primarily treated medically; those who had failed the medical treatment approach had dynamic graciloplasty, which demonstrated excellent results during the 1 -7 years follow-up period

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The artificial sphincter (ABS) has been proposed as an option for the treatment for severe refractory fecal incontinence. We have witnessed a great discussion on systematic reviews regarding the short-and long-term results of ABS, assessing its real benefit. Objective: To analyze the surgical outcomes of patients undergoing artificial sphincter implantation and review of surgical technique. Material and Methods: Between 2003 and 2007, the ABS system was introduced in four patients. The mean age was 34 years (13 to 54 years). Two patients were admitted for rectal agenesis, a severe anorectal trauma and abdominoperineal resection for a low rectal cancer. Results: Follow-up time was 12 to 60 months. We performed the explantation of the device for perineal wound infection in one case. All patients had mild incontinence ABS showed a decrease an average of 3.5 points to 12 months of follow-up on the Wexner Scale. Conclusions: The installation of the artificial sphincter is a feasible and safe alternative for anorectal reconstruction in selected patients. The morbidity and explantation of the series is similar to other international reports.


Introducción: El esfínter artificial (siglas en inglés ABS) ha sido propuesto como una opción para el tratamiento de incontinencia fecal severa refractaria. Hemos sido testigos de una gran discusión en revisiones sistemáticas respecto a los resultados a corto y largo plazo del ABS, evaluando su real beneficio. Objetivos: Analizar los resultados quirúrgicos de los pacientes sometidos a implante de esfínter artificial y revisar la técnica quirúrgica. Material y Métodos: Entre los años 2003 y 2007 se implantó el sistema ABS en cuatro pacientes. La edad media fue de 34 años (13 a 54 años). Dos pacientes ingresaron por agenesia rectal, uno por trauma anorrectal severo y otro por resección abdominoperineal de un cáncer de recto bajo. Resultados: El tiempo de seguimiento fue de 12 a 60 meses. Se realizó la explantación del dispositivo por infección de herida perineal en un caso. Todos los pacientes que mantuvieron el ABS presentaron incontinencia leve con un descenso a los 12 meses de seguimiento a una media de 3,5 puntos en la escala de Wexner. Conclusiones: La instalación del esfínter artificial es una alternativa segura y realizable para la reconstrucción anorrectal en pacientes seleccionados. El porcentaje de morbilidad y explantación de la serie es similar a otros reportes internacionales.

ABSTRACT

Pickrell procedure or non stimulated gracilis muscle transposition is used for the management of severe fecal incontinence. We report four males and one female, aged 6 to 68 years, with severe incontinence, that were operated. Surgical complications were wound dehiscence in two patients, a deep venous thrombosis in one patient and chronic pain in the zone of muscle insertion in one patient. There was an improvement in the voluntary contraction pressure of the sphincter in four of five patients and a significant reduction in the incontinence score.


Se presenta la casuística de Operación de Pickrell o graciloplastía no estimulada realizada por uno de los autores (CJB). Se analizan sus indicaciones, técnica, complicaciones, manejo postoperatorio y resultados. Se presentan 5 pacientes (4 hombres y una mujer) operados por incontinencia anal severa, realizándose una graciloplastía no estimulada u operación de Pickrell. Las principales complicaciones fueron dehiscencia cutánea en 2 pacientes, trombosis venosa profunda y dolor crónico de la zona de desinserción en un caso. No hubo mortalidad. En el postoperatorio se envió a estimulación eléctrica del gracilis. Se evaluó la presión del esfínter con manometría anorrectal pre y postoperatoria. La incontinencia fue medida con la escala de Jorge y Wexner. En esta serie, hubo mejoría significativa de la Presión de Contracción Voluntaria y disminución significativa del puntaje de incontinencia. La graciloplastía es alternativa a una ostomía definitiva o al implante de un esfínter artificial en aquellos pacientes en que la incontinencia anal severa no es posible de manejar con técnicas habituales (esfinteroplastía), que fracasaron a la esfinteroplastía, o que presentan inexistencia de esfínter o de una lesión anatómica que reparar.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La incontinencia anal tiene múltiples etiologías, y diversos procedimientos quirúrgicos fueron propuestos para su corrección. Objetivo: Clasificar a los pacientes quirúrgicos con incotinencia anal según grados de complejidad y mostrar los resultados con la cirugía. Lugar de aplicación: Centro de atención terciaria. Diseño: Retrospectivo. Población: 46 pacientes operados consecutivamente por incontinencia anal. Método: Se han analizado los casos relacionando los resultados en función del exámen físico, de los estudios del laboratorio de fisiología anorrectal, los scores de continencia y el tipo de cirugía aplicada. Resultados: Con un seguimiento promedio de 76 meses, el score de continencia PO mostró 61.1% de buenos resultados en el Grupo 1 (lesión esfinteriana), 53.8% en el Grupo 2 (neuropatía e indemnidad esfinteriana) y 61,5% en el Grupo 3 (neuropatía y antecedentes alejado de lesión esfinteriana) con 27,7% de excelentes resultados en el grupo de las esfinteroplastias. Conclusiones: Identificar el grado de complejidad de la incontinencia anal a tratar mediante el tacto rectal, las pruebas de fisiología anorrectal y el score de incontinencia, que orientan la técnica quirúrgica a elegir, la que tiene relación directa con los resultados postoperatorios.
