Purpose: Obstructed defecation syndrome represents 50-60% of patients with symptoms of constipation. We aimed to compare the two frequently performed surgical methods, laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy and transperineal mesh repair, for this condition in terms of functional and surgical outcomes.
Methods: This study is a retrospective review of 131 female patients who were diagnosed with obstructed defecation syndrome, attributed to rectocele with or without rectal intussusception, enterocele, hysterocele or cystocele, and who underwent either laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy or transperineal mesh repair.
Introduction: This pilot study aimed to document our results of treating anorectal abscesses with drainage plus loose seton for possible coexisting high fistulas or drainage plus fistulotomy for low tracts at the same operation.
Methods: Drainage plus fistulotomy were performed only in cases with subcutaneous mucosa, intersphincteric, or apparently low transsphincteric fistula tracts. For all other cases with high transsphincteric fistula or those with questionable sphincter involvement, a loose seton was placed through the tract.
Article Synopsis
- Anorectal sepsis often starts with anal abscesses that can lead to fistulas, commonly arising from cryptoglandular issues or inflammatory bowel diseases.
- A 32-year-old male experienced severe anal pain after undergoing leech therapy for hemorrhoidal swelling, resulting in an abscess that was successfully drained at a Proctology Unit.
- Post-treatment, the patient healed well and remained symptom-free for six months, highlighting the need to critically evaluate modern medical practices that permit non-scientific treatments like leech therapy without proven efficacy.
