Abstract

Integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound is a combination of endoanal, transperineal, and endovaginal ultrasound used for the static and dynamic assessment of the entire pelvic floor. It can be used as a screening investigation for defaecatory dysfunction so that defaecatory radiological imaging may be avoided. It enables assessment of concomitant pelvic floor disorders such as anterior and middle compartment dysfunctions. Other advantages include the ability to perform in the outpatient rooms in a one stop clinic, alongside clinical assessment, and anorectal physiology, whilst avoiding separate radiology appointments and radiation exposure. Moreover, it has the potential to be used as a visual biofeedback tool.Integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound is user dependent and currently there are no fixed protocols for performance or reporting protocols. As integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound becomes more commonplace this is something which should be addressed.This article outlines the clinical utility, practicalities, and guidance for the interpretation of imaging which may be used. It is the basis for integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound workshops which have been held at the International Continence Society conference over the last 5 years.

Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVE: Palliative pelvic exenteration (PPE) is a technically complex operation with high morbidity and mortality rates, considered in patients with limited life expectancy. There is little evidence to guide practice. We performed a systematic review to evaluate the impact of PPE on symptom relief and quality of life (QoL). METHODS: A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines using Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASe, and PubMed databases for studies reporting on outcomes of PPE for symptom relief or QoL. Descriptive statistics were used on pooled patient cohorts. RESULTS: Twenty-three historical cohorts and case series were included, comprising 509 patients. No comparative studies were found. Most malignancies were of colorectal, gynaecological and urological origin. Common indications for PPE were pain, symptomatic fistula, bleeding, malodour, obstruction and pelvic sepsis. The pooled median postoperative morbidity rate was 53.6% (13-100%), the median in-hospital mortality was 6.3% (0-66.7%), and median OS was 14 months (4-40 months). Some symptom relief was reported in a median of 79% (50-100%) of the patients, although the magnitude of effect was poorly measured. Data for QoL measures were inconclusive. Five studies discouraged performing PPE in any patient, while 18 studies concluded that the procedure can be considered in highly selected patients. CONCLUSION: Available evidence on PPE is of low-quality. Morbidity and mortality rates are high with a short median OS interval. While some symptom relief may be afforded by this procedure, evidence for improvement in QoL is limited. A highly selective individualised approach is required to optimise the risk:benefit equation.

Abstract

Background: Digestive tract schwannomas (DTS) are rare benign mesenchymal tumours usually affecting females between 30 and 60 years old. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 2 cases of DTS treated at our hospital. The first case is a 38-year-old female with gastric schwannoma presenting with acute upper gastro-intestinal bleeding. The second case is a 36-year-old female with mesenteric schwannoma presenting with chronic right iliac fossa pain. Both patients underwent surgical resection of the tumour. Results: Histology and immunohistochemistry revealed the typical appearance of a DTS. Conclusion: DTS is most commonly found in the stomach. It is usually asymptomatic but can present with variable symptoms. Definitive diagnosis can only be made on the basis of immunohistochemistry. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice.
