RESUMO

PURPOSE: To report the clinical efficacy and mid-term outcomes of endovascular treatment in patients with chronic, symptomatic, post-thrombotic femoro-iliac venous obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-two patients with post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) presenting with femoro-iliac venous obstructive lesions treated in our institution by endovascular approach between March 2012 and October 2017 were retrospectively included. There were 27 women and 15 men with a mean age of 47.3±17 (SD) years (range: 22-86 years). Procedure included first venous recanalization, then pre-dilatation and self-expandable metallic stenting of the narrowed or occluded iliac and/or femoral veins. Severity of PTS and quality of life were assessed at baseline and 3 months after the intervention respectively, using Villalta score and Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) scale. Imaging follow-up evaluation of stent patency was based on the results of duplex Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography. RESULTS: Immediate technical success was achieved in 41/42 (97.6%) patients, without any major complications. Primary patency, primary assisted patency and secondary patency at the end of the median imaging follow-up of 18.1 months (IQR, 9.7-34.4) were achieved in 29/42 (66.7%) patients, 33/42 (78.6%) patients and 37/42 (88.1%) patients, respectively. Median Villalta and CIVIQ-20 scores decreased from 14 (IQR, 10-19) and 57 (IQR, 39-72) at baseline, respectively, to 5 (IQR, 2-9) and 30 (IQR, 24-50) 3 months after the procedure, respectively (P<0.0001), showing significant decrease in the severity of PTS and improvement in the quality of life. The multiple linear regression model showed that both baseline Villalta and CIVIQ-20 scores ([95% CI: -7.80-3.79; P<0.0001] and [95% CI: 0.07-0.20; P<0.0001], respectively), age (95% CI: 0.04-0.19; P=0.002) and stenting expanse (95% CI: 0.97-5.65; P=0.006) were independent variables related to Villalta gain. Baseline Villalta (95% CI: 0.89-2.23; P<0.0001) was the single independent variable related to CIVIQ-20 gain. CONCLUSION: This study confirms the high clinical efficacy and favorable mid-term outcomes of endovascular stenting in patients with chronic symptomatic femoro-iliac venous obstructive lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment of complex aneurysms often requires the execution of a revascularization procedure. Even if avoiding the concomitant trapping of the aneurysm during the bypass procedure (waiting for the subsequent endovascular or spontaneous closure) permits one to verify the graft's patency and patient's adaptation to increased flow, the hemodynamic changes induced by the bypass may cause the aneurysmal rupture. Whether or not to perform the concomitant trapping of the aneurysm still remains a dilemma. Here we illustrate our management protocol through the critical analysis of some illustrative cases of our series. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1990 and 2016, 48 of 157 patients affected by complex aneurysms underwent a revascularization procedure. In 19 cases (1990-1997) only a bypass procedure was performed. Spontaneous or endovascular closure was obtained within the first postoperative week once the graft patency had been verified (staged revascularization strategy). In the remaining 29 cases. The total amount of cases is 48. 19 cases staged revascularization strategy. 29 cases single stage revascularization strategy. RESULTS: In the staged revascularization era, one patient died because of the rupture of the aneurysm before its closure.In the single-stage era no further cases of rebleeding were observed. Neurologic status of this group was unvaried or improved. CONCLUSIONS: Given the unpredictable response of complex aneurysms to the hemodynamic changes induced by the revascularization, in our opinion it is always preferable to perform complete or at least incomplete trapping of the aneurysm during the bypass procedure.

RESUMO

Despite the recent progress in surgical technology in the last decades, the surgical treatment of skull base lesions still remains a challenge. The purpose of this study was to assess the anatomy of the tentorial and cavernous segment of the fourth cranial nerve as it appears in two different surgical approaches to the skull base: subtemporal transtentorial approach and pretemporal fronto-orbito-zygomatic approach. Four human cadaveric fixed heads were used for the dissection. Using both sides of each cadaveric head, we made 16 dissections: 8 with subtemporal transtentorial technique and 8 with pretemporal fronto-orbito-zygomatic approach. The first segment that extends from the initial point of contact of the fourth cranial nerve with the tentorium (point Q) to its point of entry into its dural channel (point D) presents an average length of 13.5 mm with an extremely wide range and varying between 3.20 and 9.3 mm. The segment 2, which extends from point D to the point of entry into the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus, presents a lesser interindividual variability (mean 10.4 mm, range 15.1-5.9 mm). A precise knowledge of the surgical anatomy of the fourth cranial nerve and its neurovascular relationships is essential to safely approach. The recognition of some anatomical landmarks allows to treat pathologies located in regions of difficult surgical access even when there is an important subversion of the anatomy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anismus or non relaxing puborectalis muscle (PRM) may cause obstructed defecation (OD). Reported surgical treatment is partial miotomy, followed by sepsis, bleeding, and incontinence. The aim of the present study was to investigate on the feasibility and outcome of a modified mini-invasive operation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Consecutive patients with anismus and OD not responding to medical therapy, excluding multiparous females, patients with anal incontinence, recto-rectal intussusception, and disordered psychological pattern. Semi-closed bilateral partial division of PRM, pulled down through 1-cm perianal incisions, was performed. Concomitant significant rectal mucosal prolapse and rectocele, when present, were treated. OD was evaluated using a validated score and anal/vaginal ultrasound (US) was performed pre -and postoperatively. A control group of seven patients with normal bowel habit was also investigated. RESULTS: Eight patients (seven females), median age 48 years (range 29-71) were operated. Six also had significant mucosal prolapse and rectocele. All were followed up for a median of 12 months (range 2-40). None of them had postoperative sepsis or bleeding. One had just one occasional episode of mild anal incontinence. Symptoms improved in 6 or 75 % and, OD score decreased from 19.6 ± 1.0 to 9.2 ± 2.0 (mean ± s.e.m.), P = 0.007. No patient had anismus after surgery and PRM relaxation changed from 0 to 5.9 ± 0.8 mm being 6.6 ± 1.5 mm in controls. CONCLUSION: Semi-closed bilateral partial division of PRM achieves muscle's relaxation on straining in all patients without any significant postoperative complication. Further studies are needed prior to consider it a validated procedure.

RESUMO

The psycho-neuroendocrine-immune approach relies on the concept of considering diseases from a holistic point of view: the various components (psyche, nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system) control the diseased organ/apparatus and in turn are influenced by a feedback mechanism. In this article, we will consider the psycho-neuroendocrine-immune approach to coloproctological disorders, by providing clinical cases and discussing them in light of this approach.

RESUMO

A novel minimally invasive procedure for the management of anterior external and posterior internal mucosal prolapse is described. The operation, carried out via a transanal route, consists of a partial prolapsectomy and a mucosal proctopexy. Out of six patients, one had severe postoperative bleeding and one had a recurrence of internal prolapse and obstructed defecation. Three patients had pelvic floor rehabilitation for associated dysfunctions. The advantage of the operation is that a circumferential anastomosis is avoided, thus decreasing the risk of dehiscence, and only a short sphincter dilation is required. Moreover, the procedure has very little effect on the rectal reservoir, thus preventing fecal urgency. No reintervention was needed, and almost all patients were cured after 2 years.
