ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus is highly prevalent virus and usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. The pathophysiology and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease often induce a state of immunosuppression. Because this, there are still doubts and controversies about the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and cytomegalovirus. AIM: Evaluate the frequency of cytomegalovirus in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and identify correlations. METHODS: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease underwent an interview, review of records and collection of blood and fecal samples. The search for cytomegalovirus was performed by IgG and IgM blood serology, by real-time PCR in the blood and by qualitative PCR in feces. Results were correlated with red blood cell levels, C-reactive protein levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rates and fecal calprotectin levels for each patient. RESULTS: Among the 400 eligible patients, 249 had Crohn's disease, and 151 had ulcerative colitis. In the group of Crohn's disease, 67 of the patients had moderate or severe disease, but 126 patients presented with active disease, based on the evaluation of the fecal calprotectin. In patients with ulcerative colitis, only 21 patients had moderate disease, but 76 patients presented with active disease, based on the evaluation of the fecal calprotectin. A large majority of patients had positive CMV IgG. Overall, 10 patients had positive CMV IgM, and 9 patients had a positive qualitative detection of CMV DNA by PCR in the feces. All 400 patients returned negative results after the quantitative detection of CMV DNA in blood by real-time PCR. Analyzing the 19 patients with active infections, we only found that such an association occurred with the use of combined therapy (anti-TNF-alpha + azathioprine). CONCLUSION: The findings show that latent cytomegalovirus infections are frequent and active cytomegalovirus infection is rare. We did not find any association between an active infection of CMV and inflammatory bowel disease activity.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: The development of neoplasia is an important concern associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially colorectal cancer (CRC). OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine the incidence of intestinal and extraintestinal neoplasias among patients with inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS: There were retrieved information from 1607 patients regarding demographics, disease duration and extent, temporal relationship between IBD diagnosis and neoplasia, clinical outcomes and risk factors for neoplasia. RESULTS: Crohn's disease (CD) was more frequent among women (P=0.0018). The incidence of neoplasia was higher in ulcerative colitis (UC) when compared to CD (P=0.0003). Eight (0.99%) patients developed neoplasia among 804 with CD: 4 colorectal cancer, 2 lymphomas, 1 appendix carcinoid and 1 breast cancer. Thirty (3.7%) patients developed neoplasia among the 803 UC: 13 CRC, 2 lymphomas and 15 extraintestinal tumors. While CRC incidence was not different among UC and CD (1.7% vs 0.5%; P=0.2953), the incidence of extraintestinal neoplasias was higher among UC (2.1% vs 0.5%, P=0.0009). Ten (26.3%) patients out of 38 with neoplasia died. CONCLUSIONS: CRC incidence was low and similar in both diseases. There was a higher incidence of extraintestinal neoplasia in UC when compared to CD. Neoplasias in IBD developed at a younger age than expected for the general population. Mortality associated with malignancy is significant, affecting 1/4 of the patients with neoplasia.

Contexto O desenvolvimento de neoplasias se constitui em preocupação constante em pacientes com doenças inflamatórias intestinais (DII), especialmente o câncer colorretal (CCR). Objetivos Determinar a incidência de neoplasias intestinais e extra-intestinais entre pacientes com DII. Métodos Foram obtidas informações de 1607 pacientes, quanto a dados demográficos, duração e extensão da doença, relação temporal entre diagnóstico das DII e neoplasia, evolução clínica e fatores de risco para neoplasia. Resultados Doença de Crohn (DC) foi mais frequente entre as mulheres (P = 0.0018). A incidência de neoplasia foi maior nos doentes com retocolite ulcerativa (RCU) em relação aos com DC (P = 0.0003). Oito (0.99%) pacientes desenvolveram neoplasia entre 804 com DC: quatro tumores colorretais, dois linfomas, um carcinóide de apêndice e um câncer de mama. Trinta (3.7%) pacientes desenvolveram neoplasia entre os 803 RCU: 13 CCR, 2 linfomas e 15 tumores extra-intestinais. Enquanto a incidência de CCR não diferiu entre RCU e DC (1.7% vs 0.5%; P = 0.2953), a incidência de neoplasias extraintestinais foi maior na RCU (2.1% vs 0.5%, P = 0.0009). Dez (26.3%) pacientes de um total de 38 com neoplasia, evoluíram a óbito durante o seguimento. Conclusões A incidência de CCR foi baixa e similar em ambas as doenças inflamatórias. Observou-se incidência maior de neoplasia extra-intestinal na RCU quando comparada à DC. Neoplasias em doenças inflamatórias se desenvolveram em idade mais precoce do que a esperada para a população geral. A mortalidade associada a neoplasias é significativa, afetando 1/4 dos pacientes. .

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Many changes in mucosal morphology are observed following ileal pouch construction, including colonic metaplasia and dysplasia. Additionally, one rare but potential complication is the development of adenocarcinoma of the reservoir. The aim of this study was to evaluate the most frequently observed histopathological changes in ileal pouches and to correlate these changes with potential risk factors for complications. METHODS: A total of 41 patients were enrolled in the study and divided into the following three groups: a non-pouchitis group (group 1) (n = 20; 8 males; mean age: 47.5 years) demonstrating optimal outcome; a pouchitis without antibiotics group (group 2) (n = 14; 4 males; mean age: 47 years), containing individuals with pouchitis who did not receive treatment with antibiotics; and a pouchitis plus antibiotics group (group 3) (n = 7; 3 males; mean age: 41 years), containing those patients with pouchitis who were administered antibiotics. Ileal pouch endoscopy was performed, and tissue biopsy samples were collected for histopathological analysis. RESULTS: Colonic metaplasia was found in 15 (36.6%) of the 41 patients evaluated; of these, five (25%) were from group 1, eight (57.1%) were from group 2, and two (28.6%) were from group 3. However, no correlation was established between the presence of metaplasia and pouchitis (p = 0.17). and no differences in mucosal atrophy or the degree of chronic or acute inflammation were observed between groups 1, 2, and 3 (p>0.45). Moreover, no dysplasia or neoplastic changes were detected. However, the degree of mucosal atrophy correlated well with the time of postoperative follow-up (p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The degree of mucosal atrophy, the presence of colonic metaplasia, and the degree of acute or chronic inflammation do not appear to constitute risk factors for the development of pouchitis. Moreover, we observed that longer postoperative follow-up times were associated with greater degrees of mucosal atrophy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Perineal prostatectomy has been proposed as a less invasive and safe procedure, but the risk of anal incontinence has been studied. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of perineal access on anal continence mechanisms after perineal prostatectomy. METHODS: From August 2008 to May 2009, twenty three patients underwent perineal prostatectomy. These patients were evaluated before surgery and eight months postoperatively using the Cleveland Clinic Anal Incontinence Score, the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Score, and anorectal manometry. RESULTS: The mean age of the subjects was 65 (range, 54-72) years, and the mean prostate weight was 34.5 (range, 24-54) grams. Gleason scores ranged from 6-7, and the mean Cleveland Clinic Anal Incontinence Score (mean±standard deviation) values were 0.9±1.9 and 0.7±1.2 (p>0.05) before and after surgery, respectively. The Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Score did not change significantly after surgery. The mean values for anal manometric parameters before and after surgery were, respectively: Resting Pressures of 64±23 mmHg and 65±17 mmHg (p = 0.763), Maximum Squeezing Pressures of 130±41 mmHg and 117±40 mmHg (p = 0.259), High Pressure Zones of 3.0±0.9 cm and 2.7±0.8 cm(p = 0.398), Rectal Sensory Thresholds of 76±25 ml and 71±35 ml (p = 0.539), Maximum Tolerated Rectal Volumes of 157±48 ml and 156±56ml (p = 0.836), and Sphincter Asymmetry Indexes 22.4±9% and 14.4±5% (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: There was a significant decrease in the sphincter symmetry index after perineal prostatectomy. With the exception of the sphincter asymmetry index, perineal prostatectomy did not affect anal continence parameters.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A maioria das mulheres que desenvolvem doença inflamatória intestinal (DII) encontra-se em idade fértil, despertando preocupação dos médicos e mulheres no entendimento desta interação. Avaliamos a influência da DII sobre a fecundidade e gestação e vice- versa. MÉTODOS: Os protocolos de pacientes com doença de Crohn (DC) e retocolite ulcerativa (RC), de 1984 a 2006, em idade fértil, cadastrados no ambulatório de DII, foram revisados. Pacientes foram entrevistados para preenchimento de dados não encontrados nos protocolos. Outros tipos de colites, investigação incompleta, pacientes que não estavam em idade fértil ou sem capacidade cognitiva foram excluídos. Prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer, anomalias congênitas, natimortalidade, abortamentos, tipos de partos, localização da doença na gestante e uso de medicamentos durante a gestação foram investigados. O método estatístico adotado foi o teste de qui- quadrado e Fisher, com nível de significância de 5 por cento. Nenhum paciente se recusou a participar desta pesquisa. RESULTADOS: 140 gestações em 104 pacientes com DII foram avaliados (RC em 63 gestações e DC em 77). Houve redução da fecundidade após o início dos sintomas relacionados à DII em 41,6 por cento, com influência da doença sobre a opção de não ter filhos em 20,6 por cento (10,3 por cento dos pacientes por medo da doença; 6,5 por cento por orientação médica e 2,2 por cento por más condições clínicas), sem diferenças entre DC e RC. A grande maioria não quis engravidar por já ter filhos, por ser solteira ou estar ter baixa idade (53,3 por cento). A atividade da RC não foi alterada durante a gestação na maioria das pacientes (77,8 por cento; p>0,003). A atividade da doença melhorou durante a gestação mais nas gestantes com DC do que nas com RC (p>0.0007). A incidência de prematuros, baixo peso ao nascer e natimortos foi maior quando todo o cólon estava acometido na RC (p< 0.037). A proporção estimada de prematuros e baixos...


INTRODUCTION: Most of women that develops inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are in fertile age, concerning doctors and patients to understand this interaction. We evaluated the influence of IBD on fecundity and pregnancy and vice-versa. METHODS: the protocols of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), from 1984 and 2006, in fertile age, followed at the outpatient clinic were reviewed. Patients were interviewed by the research medical doctor, to complete missing data not found in their protocols. Patients with others colitis, incomplete investigation, not in fertile age or without cognitive capacity were excluded from this study. Preterm delivery, low birth weight, congenital anomalies, stillbirth, miscarriages, types of delivery, disease topography in pregnant patients and drug administration during pregnancy were investigated. The statistic method adopted was the chi-square and Fisher test, with significance level of 5 percent. No patient refused to participate in this study. RESULTS: 140 pregnancies in 104 patients with IBD were evaluated (UC in 63 and CD in 77 pregnancies). : a reduction of 41.6 percent in fecundity was observed after beginning of symptoms related to IBD, with influence of the disease in 20.6 percent (10.3 percent of patients did not want to have children because of fear related to disease; 6.5 percent because of medical orientation and 2.2 percent for poor medical conditions). There was no difference between CD and UC. Most of patients did not want to become pregnant because they already had children, were "underage" or "alone" (53.3 percent) Most of pregnancies did not altered clinic conditions in UC patients (77.8 percent / p=0.003). Clinical conditions improved during pregnancies more in CD patients than UC patients (p=0.0007). The incidence of preterm delivery, low birth weight and stillbirth was higher when the whole colon was affected in UC (p < 0.037). The estimated rate of preterm delivery...

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: A doença de Crohn é uma inflamação crônica do trato gastrointestinal ainda de difícil tratamento. Há busca permanente de novos agentes que possam colaborar com a melhoria dos resultados. O infliximabe é um anticorpo monoclonal quimérico anti-fator de necrose tumoral alfa e está indicado na doença de Crohn refratária e fistulizante. OBJETIVO: Observar os resultados do tratamento da doença de Crohn com o anti-fator de necrose tumoral alfa. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo de 60 doentes com doença de Crohn no período de seis anos. Foram considerados como critérios de exclusão: infecção atual ou nos últimos três meses; diagnóstico de tuberculose; quadro clínico e/ou radiológico de oclusão intestinal parcial ou total; gravidez ou amamentação. Todos os doentes foram previamente submetidos à radiografia do tórax, leucograma e intradermo reação para tuberculose. Foram tratados com infliximabe na dose de 5mg/kg de peso, aplicado por via endovenosa a intervalos de dois meses. Os doentes foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com o tempo de doença, isto é, grupo 1 aqueles com até cinco anos de diagnóstico, grupo 2 com seis até 10 anos e grupo 3 com mais de 10 anos de diagnóstico. Os resultados foram considerados subjetivamente através de protocolo após cada aplicação como: melhor, pior ou inalterado em relação ao estado geral do doente, sintomas intestinais e doença perianal. RESULTADOS: No tratamento inicial 76% dos pacientes responderam ao anticorpo. Observou-se que após a primeira dose da medicação, os com mais de 10 anos de doença e submetidos à operação abdominal tiveram resultado satisfatório semelhantemente aqueles doentes com menos de cinco anos de doença e não operados (62,5% e 80% respectivamente dos doentes que melhoraram), sendo este resultado estatisticamente significativo. CONCLUSÃO: O tratamento com infliximabe mostrou-se eficaz e tolerável no manejo dos sintomas dos pacientes com doença de Crohn ativa que não respondem ao tratamento convencional.


BACKGROUND: Crohn´s disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract with difficult management. Infliximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor and is indicated for refractory luminal and fistulization in Crohn's disease. AIM: To observe the outcome of 60 patients with diagnosis of Crohn´s disease treated with infliximab. METHODS: Prospective study with 60 patients with Crohn´s disease in six years of observation. Exclusion criteria were: clinical infection in at last three months; tuberculosis; intestinal occlusion; pregnancy. All patients were submitted to thorax X-rays, leukogram, tuberculosis cutaneous test. They were treated with infliximabe 5mg/kg each two months. They were divided into three groups according to the time of the diagnosis: 5 years, 6 to 10 and more than 10 years. The results were considered better, worse or unchanged. RESULTS: After the initial treatment, 76% of the patients achieved a response. At the first dose, the ones with 10 years and with associated abdominal surgery had good results and similar to the ones with less than 5 years with no operations. CONCLUSION: The treatment with infliximab was effective and tolerable in the managing of symptoms in patients with active Crohn´s disease, refractory to the conventional treatment and can be a reasonable approach to avoid the surgical treatment.

ABSTRACT

A Doença de Crohn ocorre, principalmente, em adultos jovens. Sua incidência entre membros da mesma família aproxima-se de 10 por cento. Atualmente, os sintomas aparecem cada vez mais precocemente em crianças e adolescentes. No caso que relatamos, um paciente aos três dias de vida iniciou quadro de extensa lesão perianal, desenvolvendo, ulteriormente, outras complicações da Doença de Crohn. Esta criança apresentava, em sua história familiar, dois irmãos com a mesma doença, porém que não sobreviveram às complicações abdominais pós-operatórias. Chamou-nos a atenção a precocidade e a intensidade com que tais manifestações se apresentaram, implicando em sérias conseqüências ao paciente, já na primeira semana de vida.


Crohn's Disease occurs, mainly, in young adults. The incidence of this disease in other members of the same family is nearly 10 percent. Nowadays the symptoms start precociously in children and teenagers. In the present case, the perianal disease was detected in three days old baby who developed different complications throughout his life. The child had two siblings with the same problems, but none of them survived after post-operative abdominal complications.

ABSTRACT

A fístula enterovesical na doença de Crohn é relativamente incomum. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar sua incidência e o resultado do seu tratamento em doentes de Crohn no ambulatório de Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais do Serviço de Cólon e Reto do Departamento de Gastroenterologia do HCFMUSP. MÉTODOS:Dos 647 pacientes com doença de Crohn , quatorze apresentaram fístula enterovesical no período de 1984 a 2006, tendo sido todos tratados cirurgicamente. RESULTADOS: Dos quatorze pacientes, doze são homens sendo a média de idade do início da doença de Crohn de 28,8 anos. O tempo médio de evolução da doença até o diagnóstico da fístula enterovesical foi de 155,1 meses. Em relação à extensão da doença, sete pacientes tinham Crohn em intestino delgado, cólon e região perianal; cinco apenas no intestino delgado; um em cólon e região perianal e outro com acometimento de intestino delgado e perianal. No total treze pacientes tinham doença de Crohn em intestino delgado. O trajeto da fístula enterovesical mais comum foi de intestino delgado (seis pacientes). Os demais pacientes apresentaram fístula enterovesical em: cólon sigmóide (quatro pacientes), entero-colo-vesical (dois pacientes), colo-vesico-cutânea (um paciente) e outra entero-reto-vesical (um paciente). Todos foram tratados cirurgicamente com ressecção da porção intestinal acometida e sutura da lesão da bexiga, e em um doente foi feito cistectomia parcial. No pós-operatório imediato tivemos duas recorrências da fistula enterovesical, um paciente permanece em tratamento clínico e o outro foi a óbito. No acompanhamento dos demais doentes, observou-se que: oito pacientes apresentam-se sem sintomas e com medicação, três assintomáticos e sem medicação; um paciente com medicação e com sintomas relacionados à doença de Crohn (mas sem queixas ou recorrência de fístula enterovesical). CONCLUSÃO: O índice de fístula enterovesical em doentes com Crohn neste estudo foi de 2,1 por cento. O tratamento...


Enterovesical fistula is relatively uncommon in Crohn's disease. The objective of this study is to analyze the incidence and the result of the treatment of patients with Crohn's disease at the Inflammatory Bowel Clinic of Service of Colon and Rectum of Gastroenterology Department (HCFMUSP). METHODS: 14 out of 647 patients with Crohn's disease presented enterovesical fistula between 1984 and 2006, in which all of them were treated with surgical intervention. RESULTS: 12 out of 14 patients were male and the Crohn's symptoms started with a mean age of 28,8 years. The mean age of evolution of Crohn's disease before discovering the enterovesical fistula was 155,1 months. In regard to Crohn's disease extension, there were seven patients with Crohn's disease in the small intestine, colon and perianal region; five with manifestation only in the small intestine; one had colon and perianal disease and other had small intestine and perianal disease. 13 out of 14 patients studied had Crohn's disease in small intestine. The most commonly encountered type of fistula was in the small intestine (six patients). The others patients presented enterovesical fistula in: sigmoid (four patients), entero-colo-vesical (two patients), colo-vesico-cutaneous (one patient) and entero-reto-vesical (one patient). All the patients were treated with surgical intervention involving resection of the affected bowel and closure of the bladder defect and one patient needed partial cystectomy. In the postoperative period there were two enterovesical fistula recurrences: one patient is still being treated with medical therapy and the other died. In the clinical follow-up of the other patients, eight of them are without symptoms and taking medications, three patients are asymptomatic and under no medications, and one patient is taking medications for Crohn's disease but without enterovesical fistula. CONCLUSIONS: the rate of enterovesical fistula of the Crohn's patients was...

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Existe uma grande prevalência de manifestações extra-intestinais(MEI) em portadores de doença de Crohn(DC) e de retocolite ulcerativa(RCU), variando de 24 a 65 por cento. OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de MEI em RCU e DC, correlacionando com diagnóstico do tipo de doença inflamatória intestinal, extensão, tempo de evolução e atividade da doença. MÉTODOS: Mil pacientes foram avaliados no Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP no período de 1984 a 2004. Foram estudadas manifestações articulares, dermatológicas, oftalmológicas, urológicas, hepáticas, pulmonares e vasculares. RESULTADOS: Foram estudados 468 pacientes com DC(46,8 por cento) e 532 com RCU(53,2 por cento). Encontrados 627 pacientes (59,2 por cento com RCU e 66,7 por cento com DC) com pelo menos uma forma de MEI. A média de tempo de doença dos pacientes com MEI foi de 10 anos. As MEI foram mais freqüentes após o início dos sintomas intestinais. CONCLUSÕES: Tanto na RCU quanto na DC,quanto maior a extensão da doença no cólon, maior a incidência de MEI. As manifestações urológicas foram mais freqüentes na DC. As manifestações articulares e dermatológicas foram mais prevalentes no sexo feminino nos dois grupos. Manifestações hepáticas foram mais prevalentes na DC. As manifestações articulares, dermatológicas e vasculares tiveram correlação com a atividade da doença intestinal em ambos os grupos.


INTRODUCTION: There is great prevalence of extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) in Crohn's disease(CD) and ulcerative rectocolitis (UR), varying from 24 to 65 percent. AIM: To determine the prevalence of EIM in UR and CD, establishing a correlation with the diagnosis of the kind of intestinal inflammatory disease, extension, evolution time and disease activity. METHODS: One thousand patients were evaluated at the Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP, along the 1984 to 2004 period. Articular, dermatological, ophthalmologic, urologic, hepatic, pulmonary and vascular manifestations were studied. RESULTS: 468 patients were studied with CD (46.8 percent) were studied and 532 with UR (53.2 percent). 627 patients found (59.2 percent with UR and 66.7 percent with CD) with at least one form of EIM. The average disease time of the EIM patients was of 10 years. EIM were more frequent after the beginning of the intestinal symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Both in UR as in CD, the greater the extension of the disease in the colon, the greater is the EIM incidence. Urologic manifestations were more frequent in CD. Articular and dermatological manifestations were more prevalent in the feminine sex in both groups. Hepatic manifestations were more prevalent in CD. Articular, dermatological and vascular manifestations were related with the activity of the intestinal disease in both groups.

ABSTRACT

O uso de drogas biológicas como o anti-TNF (infliximabe) no tratamento das doenças inflamatórias intestinais trouxe nova perspectiva terapêutica na busca da cura e controle dessas doenças. O TNF-alfa é um mediador inflamatório e modula a resposta imunológica celular. Portanto, existe a possibilidade de que o infliximabe possa afetar a resposta imunológica normal e predispor o paciente a infecções oportunistas com maior freqüência do que o habitual. O objetivo deste relato é descrever a ocorrência de herpes-zoster após a segunda aplicação do infliximabe em paciente com doença inflamatória intestinal. A doente com 49 anos de idade e diagnóstico de retocolite ulcerativa distal não responsiva ao tratamento com sulfassalazina, derivados e corticóide recebeu a primeira aplicação de infliximabe na dose de Smg/kg de peso, com melhora importante da sintomatologia - sangramento intestinal, diarréia e artralgia - logo nos primeiros dias. Após dois meses, foi administrada a segunda aplicação da medicação, após a qual a doente evoluiu com prurido e aparecimento de lesões pustulosas em região genital compatível com herpes-zoster. A doente foi medicada com aciclovir oral por sete dias, com regressão total do quadro. Apesar do aparecimento da infecção oportunista, o tratamento adequado e em curto intervalo de tempo não impossibilitou o tratamento continuado com infliximabe, desde que sob vigilância permanente do médico assistente.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Paracolostomy hernia is a frequent complication of intestinal stoma. Its correction can be made through relocation of the colostomy or by keeping it in place and performing abdominal wall reinforcement through direct suturing with or without a prosthesis. METHOD: Results of surgical treatment of paracolostomy hernias were analyzed in 22 patients who underwent surgery in our hospital during the past 15 years, with or without biological mesh (bovine pericardium). All patients had terminal colostomies after abdominoperineal excision of the rectum. RESULTS: In 15 (68.2%) patients, hernia correction was made by maintaining the colostomy in place, in 2 of them (9.1%) without reinforcement, and in the other 13 (59.1%) through reinforcement of the aponeurosis with biological mesh. In the 7 (31.8%) other patients, hernia correction was accomplished by relocation of the colostomy. The mean follow-up period was 50.2 months. Recurrence was observed in 3 (13.6%) patients after a median of 16 months post-correction. CONCLUSION: Paracolostomy hernia remains a surgical challenge due to its high recurrence rate. Primary repair using a prosthesis of biological material may be preferable since muscle-aponeurotic weakness is frequently observed.

ABSTRACT

Hérnias paracolostômicas são complicações freqüentes de estomas intestinais. A correção pode ser realizada através do seu reposicionamento ou mantendo a mesma localização, associada ao reforço da parede abdominal com ou sem o emprego de prótese. MÉTODOS: Os resultados do tratamento cirúrgico de hérnias paracolostômicas são analisados em 22 pacientes em nosso serviço nos últimos 15 anos. Todos os pacientes eram portadores de colostomias terminais após ressecção abdominoperineal do reto. RESULTADOS: Em 15 (68,2%) pacientes, a correção da hérnia foi realizada mantendo-se a colostomia no local original, em 2 (9,1%) deles através de herniorrafia simples e em 13 (59,1%) com reforço da aponeurose com prótese biológica. Nos outros 7 (31,8%) pacientes, a correção foi realizada por reposicionamento da colostomia. O seguimento médio pós-operatório foi de 50,2 meses. Recidiva foi observada em 3 (13,6%) casos (em média 16 meses após correção). CONCLUSÃO: A hérnia paracolostômica continua a ser um desafio cirúrgico devido a sua elevada recidiva. Correção primária com prótese pode ser favorecida, uma vez que freqüentemente se observa fraqueza da aponeurose.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar as características dos tumores colo-retais e as possíveis diferenças quanto ao resultado imediato do tratamento cirúrgico entre grupos de doentes com idades até 64 anos (Grupo A) e igual e acima de 65 anos (Grupo B). Estudou-se retrospectivamente o prontuário de 77 pacientes submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico do câncer colo-retal na Real e Benemérita Sociedade Portuguesa de Beneficiência Hospital São Joaquim, São Paulo, no período de 1997 a 2003. O grupo A incluiu 39 doentes (50,6por cento) e o grupo B, 38(49,4por cento). A mediana de idade dos pacientes nesses grupos foi de 56 anos (Grupo A) e 73 anos (Grupo B). Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos em relação ao sexo(p=0,041).O tumor colo-retal mais comum foi o tumor de reto, seguido do tumor de cólon distal no Grupo A e do tumor de cólon proximal no Grupo B. Observou-se maior freqüência de metástases no grupo mais jovem, e as complicações pós-operatórias foram mais freqüentes e mais graves nos doentes com idade acima de 65 anos. Concluímos que o diagnóstico precoce poderia levar à diminuição da incidência de metástases nos jovens. O procedimento cirúrgico cuidadoso em idosos poderia diminuir as complicações intra e pós-operatórias.

ABSTRACT

A enteroscopia é uma técnica desenvolvida para visualização direta da mucosa do intestino delgado. Dois procedimentos não cirúrgicos estão disponíveis: push-enteroscopia e sonda enteroscópia e sonda enteroscópica, sendo esta última praticamente não utilizada em nosso meio. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o diagnóstico do sangramento oculto ou obscuro gastrointestinal através da push-enteroscopia. Estudaram-se, no período de janeiro de 1997 a junho de 2002, 71 exames do intestino delgado com a técnica de push-enteroscopiarealizados na Real e Benemérita Sociedade Portuguesa de Beneficência - Hospital São Joaquin, no serviço de Endoscopia Digestiva.Foram identificadas 37 (52,1por cento) lesões que justificam o sangramento oculto ou obscuro. As lesões identificadas foram: 17 ectasias vasculares, três lesões de Dieulafoy em duodeno, duas úlceras na terceira porção duodenal, sete casos de doença inflamatória intestinal com acometimento do intestino delgado, dois adenocarcinomas de duodeno, quatro pólipos de delgado, um divertículo e um hamartoma das glândulas de Brunner. Foi possível realizar procedimentos terapêutico e/ou diagnóstico em 26 casos

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A estenose colorretal pós-cirúrgica é complicação que ocorre em 1 a 13por cento dos pacientes. O tratamento da estenose através de técnicas endoscópícas é geralmente a primeira opção. Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o resultado da estenotomia associada à dilatação endoscópica em pacientes com estenose em anastomose colorretal. Casuísstica e métodos: Estudaram-se prospectivamente quatro casos de pacientes com estenose da anastomose colorretal após retossigmoidectomia, no período de abril de 2002 a outubro de 2003, no Hospital são Joaquim-Real e Benemérita Sociedade Portuguesa de Beneficência de São Paulo. Os pacientes foram submetidos a estenotomia com eletrocautério e seguimento semanal para sessões de dilatação endoscópica e calibragem do diâmetro da anastomose. Realizou-se infiltração de corticosteróide no local do procedimento em 100por cento dos casos. Resultados: A estenotomia seguida de dilatação com balão foi eficaz para o tratamento da estenose com resposta clínica e endoscópica adequada e 100por cento dos casos. Um paciente submeteu-se a duas sessões de estenotomia. As sessões de dilatação e calibragem variaram entre três e 11 até que se obtivesse o diâmetro estável da anastomose entre 18 e 20FR. Não houve complicação relacionada ao procedimento. Conclusão: A estenotomia associada à dilatação endoscópica com injeção de corticosteróide mostrou-se efizaz nos casos estudados e deve constituir-se na primeira indicação para o tratamento de estenose da anastomose colorretal
