Treatment of internal rectal prolapse in children: A cross sectional study.

Objectives: Internal rectal prolapse in children is one of the causes of annoying and drug-resistant constipation. The disease causes a type of obstructive constipation due to the appearance of mucosal folds in the distal rectum. If the diagnosis is made in time according to the methods proposed by the author, the treatment can also be done with simple techniques. In this article, the treatment methods for this well-known disease are presented. Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study, Sixty children (36 girls and 24 boys) between the ages of 6 months and 15 years who have specific symptoms of this disease and different degrees after definitive diagnosis of anesthesia with Delshad-mash have been treated with the sclerosing solution under the rectal mucosa or excision prolapse. Results: Depending on the severity of the disease, treatment with a subcutaneous injection of sclerosing solution responds well. The condition resolves after years of suffering from high degrees of prolapsed mucosal excision. Conclusion: Diagnosis of internal rectal prolapse can be made based on specific symptoms and barium enema radiology before the anesthesia test for children and determine the patient's treatment path and prevent additional operations such as colostomy-pulmonary with misdiagnosis of Hirschsprung.

Postoperative outcomes of sigmoid colon vaginoplasty for vaginal agenesis: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) is a rare disorder in women that is associated with vaginal agenesis and hypoplasia or loss of uterus. In this study we aim to study the outcome of sigmoid colon vaginoplasty among MRKH patients with vaginal agenesis. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, from 2017 to 2021, 39 patients were reported to our center with vaginal agenesis as a result of MRKH. Patients were treated with sigmoid colon vaginoplasty and postoperative outcomes such as Female sexual function index (FSFI), depth of vaginal cavity, and postoperative complications were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 32.3 ± 2.3 years. 18 patients (46.2%) were diagnosed using MRI whereas 21 patients (53.8%) were diagnosed with exploratory laparoscopy. The mean vaginal depth before and after the surgery was 2.8 cm and 17.3 cm, respectively. One patient (2.6%) developed fistula, and peritonitis due to perforation of the vagina, 26 months after surgery, respectively. Of 10 patients who were sexually active after the surgery, all of these patients were sexually satisfied. The FSFI was 32 ± 3.9. Conclusion: The postoperative complications after sigmoid colon vaginoplasty were minimum and all the sexually active patients were sexually active. This method appears to be an effective for surgical treatment of vaginal agenesis.
