ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To assess the functional results of surgical treatment of traumatic cloaca by a technique including reconstructive plastic surgery of the perineal body and of the rectovaginal septum using the puborectal and external sphincter muscles.

METHODS:

Six female patients were submitted to surgical treatment for correction of the cloaca over a period of 5 years (2002 to 2007). Loop sigmoidostomy was parformed in two patients. The mean duration of symptoms before surgical treatment was 97.5 months (4 months to 36 years), mean patient age was 36 years (17 to 58 years) and the follow-up period was 14.6 months (6 months to 2 years).

RESULTS:

Five patients (83.3 percent) regained fecal and flatus continence and one patient had flatus incontinence.

DISCUSSION:

Surgical treatment yields good results, is safe and involves low rates of complications.
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

A causa mais comum da cloaca é o trauma obstétrico. O objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar os resultados do tratamento cirúrgico empregando-se plástica reconstrutiva do corpo perineal e do septo reto vaginal.

MÉTODOS:

Foram operadas seis mulheres, num período de 5 anos (2002-2007). Sigmoidostomia em alça foi realizada em duas pacientes. O tempo médio de duração dos sintomas no pré-operatório foi de 97,5 meses (4 meses a 36 anos), a faixa etária média foi de 36 anos (17-58) e o período de seguimento foi de 14,6 meses (6 meses - 2 anos).

RESULTADOS:

Cinco pacientes (83,3 por cento) recuperaram a continência anal para fezes e flatos e uma paciente permaneceu com incontinência para gases. DISCUSSÃO O tratamento cirúrgico da cloaca pós-trauma apresentou bons resultados, sendo considerado um procedimento seguro, com baixo índice de complicação.
