ABSTRACT

Approximately 7%-29% of patients with colorectal cancer present with colonic obstruction. The concept of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) insertion as a bridge to surgery (BTS) is appealing. However, concerns on colonic stenting possibly impairing oncologic outcomes have been raised. This study aimed to review current evidence on the short- and long-term oncologic outcomes of SEMS insertion as BTS for left-sided malignant colonic obstruction. For short-term outcomes, colonic stenting facilitates a laparoscopic approach, increases the likelihood of primary anastomosis without a stoma, and may decrease postoperative morbidity. However, SEMS-related perforation also increases local recurrence and impairs overall survival. Moreover, colonic stenting may cause negative oncologic outcomes even without perforation. SEMS can induce shear forces on the tumor, leading to increased circulating cancer cells and aggressive pathological characteristics, including perineural and lymphovascular invasion. The conflicting evidence has led to discordant guidelines. Well-designed collaborative studies that integrate both oncologic outcomes and data on basic research (e.g., alteration of circulating tumors) are needed to clarify the actual benefit of colonic stenting as BTS.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Sphincter-preserving operations have been increasingly used for treating anal fistula. However, their success rates remain modest in complex anal fistulas. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to report outcomes of video-assisted ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (a procedure combining video-assisted anal fistula treatment and ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract) for treating complex anal fistulas and to compare its results with conventional ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract. DESIGN: A review of prospectively collected data from October 2014 to December 2017 was performed. SETTINGS: The study was conducted at a large tertiary hospital in Thailand. PATIENTS: All patients with primary or recurrent complex anal fistulas undergoing video-assisted ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract were included. Patients with anal fistula related to malignancy, Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, or acute abscess were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Healing as defined by an absence of fistula or drainage from an external opening and complete epithelialization of the external opening were measured. RESULTS: This study included 103 patients with a median age of 47 years. The primary healing rate was 84.5% at a median follow-up of 28 months (range, 15-38 mo). Primary healing rates of anterior high transsphincteric fistula, semi-horseshoe fistula, and horseshoe fistula were 88% (44 of 50 cases), 77% (30 of 39 cases), and 93% (13 of 14 cases). Median time to healing was 4 weeks (range, 4-8 wk). Accordingly, the overall failure rate was 15.5%. None reported worse fecal incontinence postoperatively. Video-assisted ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract had a higher rate of primary healing for complex anal fistula than ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract (84.5% vs 63.4%; p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS: This study is limited by its small sample size. CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes of video-assisted ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract for complex anal fistulas are quite good. This technique has the potential to become another viable option of sphincter-preserving operation for complex anal fistulas. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B373. LIGADURA ASISTIDA POR VIDEO DEL TRACTO DE LA FÍSTULA INTERESFINTÉRICA PARA LA FÍSTULA ANAL COMPLEJA: TÉCNICA Y RESULTADOS PRELIMINARIES: Las operaciones de preservación del esfínter se han utilizado cada vez más para tratar la fístula anal. Sin embargo, sus tasas de éxito siguen siendo modestas en las fístulas anales complejas.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo informar los resultados de la ligadura asistida por video del tracto de la fístula interesfintérica (un procedimiento que combina el tratamiento de la fístula anal asistida por video y la ligadura del tracto de la fístula interesfintérica) para el tratamiento de las fístulas anales complejas y comparar sus resultados con la ligadura convencional de la fístula interesfintérica tracto.Se realizó una revisión de los datos recolectados prospectivamente desde Octubre de 2014 hasta Diciembre de 2017.El estudio se realizó en un gran hospital terciario en Tailandia.Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con fístulas anales complejas primarias o recurrentes sometidas a ligadura asistida por video del tracto de la fístula interesfintérica. Se excluyeron los pacientes con fístula anal relacionada con malignidad, enfermedad de Crohn, tuberculosis o absceso agudo.Curación definida por la ausencia de fístula o drenaje de la abertura externa y la epitelización completa de la abertura externa.Este estudio incluyó 103 pacientes con una mediana de edad de 47 años. La tasa de curación primaria fue del 84,5% con una mediana de seguimiento de 28 meses (rango 15-38). La tasa de curación primaria de la fístula transesfintérica alta anterior, la fístula semi-herradura y la fístula de herradura fue del 88% (44 de 50 casos), 77% (30 de 39 casos) y 93% (13 de 14 casos), respectivamente. El tiempo mediano hasta la curación fue de 4 semanas (rango 4-8). En consecuencia, la tasa de fracaso general fue del 15,5%. Ninguno informó peor incontinencia fecal después de la operación. La ligadura asistida por video del tracto de la fístula interesfintérica tuvo una mayor tasa de curación primaria para la fístula anal compleja que la ligadura del tracto de la fístula interesfintérica (84.5% vs 63.4%; p <0.001).Este estudio está limitado por su pequeño tamaño de muestra.Los resultados de la ligadura asistida por video del tracto de la fístula interesfintérica para fístulas anales complejas son bastante buenos. Esta técnica tiene el potencial de convertirse en otra opción viable de operación de preservación del esfínter para fístulas anales complejas. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B373.
