Abstract

PURPOSE: This prospective study was done to analyze the efficacy of autologous fibrin glue application in the healing or closure of recurrent anorectal fistulas. Autologous cryoprecipitate was used as fibrin glue in all patients. This group included complex anorectal fistulas, rectovaginal fistulas, and urethrovesicorectal fistulas. METHODS: Patients were given bowel preparation and intravenous antibiotics before the procedure. Fistulas were curetted before injection of fibrin glue. RESULTS: Overall success rate was 60 percent. Patients with fistulas associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and the urinary tract failed to respond. No major complications were encountered. CONCLUSION: The results of fibrin glue use in this small series of recurrent fistulas is appealing. This use of fibrin glue can be done as an outpatient procedure as a minimally invasive technique, without any significant complications. It can be offered as an alternative to conventional surgery in recurrent fistulas.

Abstract

PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate the repair of traumatic cloaca and determine the satisfactory outcome as determined by improvement in the continence mechanism of patients. METHODS: Forty-four patients were entered in this study during a 14-year period. The majority of traumatic cloaca occurred secondary to obstetric injury, most frequently during the first childbirth. No definite medical illnesses precipitated the occurrence of traumatic cloaca. Only two patients had diabetes mellitus, and one patient had prior radiation. All patients underwent surgical repair using puborectalis interposition and sphincteroplasty and perineal body repair, approximating the internal and external sphincter fused bundles and transversus perinei muscles in a vest-over-pants manner. Average stay in the hospital was less than three days, and postoperative morbidity was minimal. One patient had minor postoperative bleeding, which was corrected with cauterization. One patient had a superficial subcutaneous infection, which was drained on the 15th postoperative day. RESULTS: Majority of patients regained excellent control of continence to both flatus and feces. Four patients had unsatisfactory control to passage of flatus. One patient had unsatisfactory control to passage of liquid stool in addition to flatus. All five patients improved, with very satisfactory results, following an exercise program and biofeedback therapy. Six of 12 patients who had perineal discomfort before the surgical procedure, with associated dyspareunia, were the most dissatisfied subgroup in the series. Exact mechanism for perineal discomfort is unclear at this point.

Abstract

The triangulating stapling technique was employed to perform colorectal anastomosis in 259 patients. In 220 patients, the anastomosis was performed between the colon and nonperitonealized rectum. This anastomotic technique is safe and reliable and is an effective alternative to a circular stapling device, with minimal morbidity. The incidence of leak rate is comparable to anastomoses created by a circular stapling device. The main advantage seems to be the very low incidence of anastomotic stenosis.

Abstract

In a five and one-half year period, 1023 patients with anorectal abscesses and fistulas were treated. Under regional anesthesia the abscesses were unroofed and debrided and a primary fistulotomy was performed whenever a low fistula was identified. In 355 (34.7 per cent) an internal fistulous opening was demonstrated at the time of abscess drainage. Thirty-two patients had suprasphincteric fistulas and underwent two-stage fistulotomy using a seton. Perianal abscesses were encountered in 42.7 per cent of the patients, followed by ischiorectal (22.7 per cent), intersphincteric (21.4 per cent), and supralevator (7.33 per cent). The patients with supralevator and intersphincteric abscesses had a high incidence of fistula identified during abscess drainage. The recurrence rates were 3.7 per cent in the group with abscess drainage only and 1.8 per cent in the group that had primary fistulotomy along with abscess drainage. The follow-up period averaged 36 months. To accomplish adequate drainage and identify the deeper components and associated fistulous opening (34.7 per cent of the entire group), careful examination under regional anesthesia is recommended. Early aggressive treatment of an anorectal abscess and fistula significantly reduces the possibility of recurrent abscesses and/or the need for further surgery.

Abstract

Perineal excision of rectal prolapse with simultaneous posterior levator ani repair was used to treat 41 elderly patients with rectal procidentia. The majority of the patients had significant associated risk factors. This procedure was performed with minimal morbidity and no mortality. A significant improvement in anal continence was seen in 78 percent of patients. The recurrence rate of rectal prolapse was 4.8 percent.

Abstract

The incidence of anorectal complications following vaginal delivery was studied in 20,500 women. One thousand forty (5 percent) of all normal vaginal deliveries resulted in episiotomy with third- and fourth-degree extension or a fourth-degree perineal tear. Of these fourth-degree lacerations, 101 patients (10 percent) experienced wound disruption after primary repair. Sixty-seven patients (66 percent) experienced wound disruption that required surgical correction. Anorectal complications were anal ulcer, anorectal abscess, sphincteric disruption, and rectovaginal fistula. Surgical correction of these complications resulted in satisfactory outcome.
