Objective: To review the use of the York-Mason transanal, transrectal procedure, used in properly selected patients over a 40-year period, for repairing recto-urinary fistulae.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent acquired recto-urethral or rectovesical fistula repair at our institution. A total of 51 patients have undergone York-Mason recto-urinary fistula repair at our institution during this time.
Results: Since our last report in 2003, we have performed this procedure an additional 27 times. We continue to have good results, with 25 of these patients having resolution of their fistulae after one procedure. Failures in the updated cohort were radiation-induced fistulae. We continue to find no evidence of faecal incontinence or stenosis after this procedure.
Conclusions: Over a period of 40 years, the York-Mason posterior, transanal, transrectal correction of iatrogenic recto-urinary fistula has been highly successful, reliable and safe, when used for fistulae occurring after prostate surgery. Preliminary faecal diversion can often be avoided in selected patients.

Transrectal recto-anal foreign bodies are occasionally encountered in routine practice, with sexual experimentation as the most common motivation for insertion. Although most patients with recto-anal foreign bodies are middle-aged, reports in younger patients are rare. In the present study, we encountered a case of recto-anal foreign body in a school-aged child.

Background: Ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is a reliable diagnostic procedure for prostate cancer diagnosis with minimal procedure-related trauma. However, complications, such as massive rectal bleeding may occur after the puncture. We hypothesized that using a transrectal resectoscope could help treat massive rectal bleeding after transrectal prostate punctures.

The Value of Transanal Normal Saline Infusion-Assisted Multipath Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of T1/T2 Rectal Cancer.
Ultrasound Q
March 2024
Department of Medical Ultrasound, Zhangzhou Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University, Zhangzhou, China.
This study aims to assess the application value of transanal normal saline infusion-assisted multipath ultrasonography (TNSI-MU) in the diagnosis of T1/T2 rectal cancer (RC). All patients first received single-path 360-degree transrectal ultrasonography and then received 360-degree transrectal ultrasonography, transabdominal ultrasonography, or transvaginal ultrasonography after TNSI to determine the T stage. With surgical pathology as the criterion standard, the detection rates of T1/T2 RC lesions and the T-staging results of single-path 360-degree transrectal ultrasonography, TNSI-MU, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were compared and analyzed.

Background: Acute iatrogenic colorectal perforation (AICP) is a serious adverse event, and immediate AICP usually requires early endoscopic closure. Immediate surgical repair is required if the perforation is large, the endoscopic closure fails, or the patient's clinical condition deteriorates. In cases of delayed AICP (> 4 h), surgical repair or enterostomy is usually performed, but delayed rectal perforation is rare.
