RESUMO

Background: Rectocele is a frequent finding in women and is usually asymptomatic. However, it is sometimes associated with symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). While most patients with ODS due to rectocele respond well to conservative treatment, some may require surgical treatment. The aim of the study was to determine the predictors of failure of symptom improvement after rectocele repair. Methods: The study included adult women with rectocele who underwent surgical treatment by transperineal repair (TPR) or transvaginal repair (TVR). The preoperative and postoperative assessment was done using the Wexner constipation score, anorectal manometry, and defecography. Results: A total of 93 female patients with a mean age of 43.7 years were included. Among them, 65.6% of patients underwent TPR and 34.4% underwent TVR; 22 (23.7%) patients reported failure of significant improvement in ODS symptoms after surgery. The independent predictors of failure of improvement were higher preoperative Wexner score (odds ratio, OR: 1.4, 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.09-1.84, p = 0.009), larger residual rectocele after repair (OR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.43-6.08, p = 0.003), and lower postoperative maximum tolerable volume (OR: 0.949, 95% CI: 0.907-0.992, p = 0.02). The predictive cutoff point for the preoperative Wexner score was 15. Conclusions: Patients with a preoperative Wexner score higher than 15 and larger residual rectocele after surgery may experience little improvement in symptoms after rectocele repair. Although TPR was associated with a poorer relief of symptoms than did TVR; it was not an independent predictor of failure. (AU)

RESUMO

Surgery for benign anal conditions is a common practice and is usually followed by a good outcome. The present review aimed to summarize the emergence and evolution of different laser techniques used for the treatment of benign anal conditions and report their current outcome. PubMed and Scopus were searched for studies that assessed the use of laser in benign anal conditions. Anal conditions reviewed were hemorrhoids, anal fistula, anal warts, anal stenosis, and anal fissure. The full text of the studies retrieved was summarized in a narrative and tabular form. Laser techniques used for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease were laser open hemorrhoidectomy, laser hemorrhoidoplasty, and Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal laser dearterialization. Resolution of hemorrhoidal symptoms was reported in 72-100% of patients after laser treatment. YAG laser, fistula laser closure, and photodynamic therapy have been used for the treatment of anal fistula with success rates ranging from 20 to 92.6%. Anal warts can be treated with photodynamic therapy with or without YAG or CO2 laser with a success rate up to 88%. A few studies reported the use of laser in the treatment of chronic anal fissure and anal stenosis. The use of laser in the treatment of benign anal conditions is associated with promising outcomes. Laser was most assessed in hemorrhoidal disease and anal fistula and showed more consistent success rates with hemorrhoidal disease than with anal fistula. Preliminary reports assessed the outcome of laser treatment in other conditions as anal fissure and warts with acceptable outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The double-stapled technique is widely used for creation of colorectal anastomosis after anterior resection of the rectum. Anastomotic leak has been recognized as one of the serious complications of low pelvic colorectal anastomosis. The present review aimed to illustrate the collective outcome of double-stapled technique, risk factors for anastomotic leak, and the modifications and alternatives of double-stapled technique. METHODS: A comprehensive review of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted to search articles that entailed patients who underwent low anterior resection with double-stapled low pelvic anastomosis. The main outcome measures were anastomotic leak and complication rates of double-stapled technique and its technical modifications. RESULTS: Overall, the median anastomotic leak rate across 25 studies was 7.3% (range: 0.7%-24.5%). The most commonly reported predictors of anastomotic leak after double-stapled technique were low tumor location, multiple stapler firings, male sex, longer operation time, and perioperative blood transfusion. Several modifications of the double-stapled technique were described and include hand-sewn colonic J-pouch, vertical division of the rectum, transanal reinforcement of anastomosis, transanal pull-through with single stapling technique, elimination of dog-ears using sutures, the natural orifice intracorporeal anastomosis with extraction of specimen procedure, and transanal transection and single-stapled. CONCLUSION: The median rate of anastomotic leak after double-stapled technique was less than 8%; however, it showed a wide range from less than 1% to approximately 25%. This wide variation might be related to additional risk factors of anastomotic leak, namely low tumor location and multiple stapler firings. Several techniques were described to modify the double-stapled technique to try to reduce the incidence of anastomotic leak.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rectocele is commonly seen in parous women and sometimes associated with symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). AIM: To assess the current literature in regard to the outcome of the classical transperineal repair (TPR) of rectocele and its technical modifications. METHODS: An organized literature search for studies that assessed the outcome of TPR of rectocele was performed. PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar were queried in the period of January 1991 through December 2020. The main outcome measures were improvement in ODS symptoms, improvement in sexual functions and continence, changes in manometric parameters, and quality of life. RESULTS: After screening of 306 studies, 24 articles were found eligible for inclusion to the review. Nine studies (301 patients) assessed the classical TPR of rectocele. The median rate of postoperative improvement in ODS symptoms was 72.7% (range, 45.8%-83.3%) and reduction in rectocele size ranged from 41.4%-95.0%. Modifications of the classical repair entailed omission of levatorplasty, addition of implant, concomitant lateral internal sphincterotomy, changing the direction of plication of rectovaginal septum, and site-specific repair. CONCLUSION: The transperineal repair of rectocele is associated with satisfactory, yet variable, improvement in ODS symptoms with parallel increase in quality-of-life score. Several modifications of the classical TPR were described. These modifications include omission of levatorplasty, insertion of implants, performing lateral sphincterotomy, changing the direction of classical plication, and site-specific repair. The indications for these modifications are not yet fully clear and need further prospective studies to help tailor the technique to rectocele patients.

RESUMO

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a challenging and resource-consuming healthcare problem. Predicting the onset of SSI beforehand can help prevent or minimize its incidence. The present study aimed to determine the independent predictors of incisional SSI after open appendectomy using a multivariate analysis and to establish a predictive risk score of SSI after appendectomy. Records of eligible patients who underwent open appendectomy were reviewed. The characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients were collected and analyzed. Significant association between different variables and SSI after appendectomy was examined by univariate analysis. Then, variables with a significant association with SSI were entered into a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis to determine the significant independent predictors of SSI. The study included 343 patients (51.3% female). Incisional SSI was recorded in 44 (12.8%) patients. Univariate analysis revealed five parameters with a significant association with SSI, including BMI > 30 kg/m2 (p < 0.0001), diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.0001), total leukocyte count (p = 0.04), free intraperitoneal fluid (p < 0.0001), and perforated/gangrenous appendicitis (p < 0.0001). After identifying four significant independent predictors of incisional SSI by binary logistic regression analysis, a predictive risk score was developed. The independent predictors of SSI were DM (OR = 6.05, p = 0.005), free intraperitoneal fluid (OR = 6.94, p = 0.0001), obesity (OR = 8.94, p = 0.0001), and perforated/gangrenous appendicitis (OR = 24.64, p = 0.0001). Four independent predictors of incisional SSI after open appendectomy were found after multivariate analysis. A predictive risk score of SSI was developed and included obesity, DM, free intraperitoneal fluid, and perforated/gangrenous appendicitis as predictors of SSI.

RESUMO

AIM: Anterior rectocele is usually an asymptomatic condition in many women, yet it can be associated with obstructed defaecation syndrome (ODS). Transperineal repair of rectocele (TPR) has been followed by variable rates of improvement in ODS. The present pilot randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the outcome of TPR with vertical plication (VP) of the rectovaginal septum compared to horizontal plication (HP). METHODS: Adult women with anterior rectocele were recruited to the study and were randomly allocated to one of two equal groups. The first group underwent TPR with VP of the rectovaginal septum and the second group underwent TPR with HP. The main outcome measures were improvement in ODS, recurrence of rectocele, complications and dyspareunia. RESULTS: The trial included 40 female patients with anterior rectocele. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the postoperative Wexner score. Complete cure and significant improvement in ODS symptoms were comparable after the two techniques. The reduction in rectocele size after HP was significantly greater than after VP (1.7 vs. 2.6, P < 0.0001). Significant improvement in dyspareunia was recorded after HP (P = 0.001) but not after VP (P = 0.1). There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to operating time, complications and recurrence. CONCLUSION: VP and HP of the rectovaginal septum in TPR were associated with a comparable improvement in ODS symptoms and similar complication rates. HP was followed by a greater reduction in the rectocele size and greater improvement in dyspareunia than VP.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications after abdominal surgery. The present trial examined the efficacy of saline irrigation of open appendectomy wound with or without topical antibiotics in prevention of SSI. METHODS: This was a double-blind randomized trial on patients with acute appendicitis who underwent open appendectomy. Patients were randomly allocated to one of three equal groups; group I had layer-by-layer wound irrigation with gentamicin-saline solution, group II had wound irrigation with saline solution, and group III received no irrigation (Control group). The main outcome measures were the incidence of incisional SSI, surgical site occurrence (SSO), other complications, operation time, postoperative pain, and patients' satisfaction. RESULTS: 205 patients (113 female) of a mean age of 27.9 years were included. The average hospital stay and pain scores were similar in the three groups. Groups I and II had significantly lower rates of incisional SSI (4.3% Vs 2.9%; Vs 17.4%, p = 0.005) and SSO (24.6% Vs 13.4% Vs 43.5%; p = 0.0003) as compared to group III. Groups I and II had comparable rates of SSI and SSO. The three groups had similar rates of wound seroma, hematoma, and dehiscence. Groups I and II had significantly higher satisfaction with the procedure than group III. CONCLUSIONS: Layer-by-layer irrigation of open appendectomy wound decreased the rates of incisional SSI and SSO significantly compared to the no-irrigation group. Adding gentamicin to saline solution was useless to improve the outcome and did not decrease rates of SSI or other complications.
