Background: Rectal prolapse has been reported after laparoscopic assisted anorectal pullthrough in children with anorectal malformation. We report our clinical outcome and study the application of an anchoring stitch to tack the rectum to the presacral fascia and the occurrence of rectal prolapse.
Material And Methods: A retrospective review of all children who had undergone laparoscopic assisted anorectal pullthrough for anorectal malformation from 2000 to 2015 was performed. Patients were divided into two groups (group I: with anchoring stitch, group II: without anchoring stitch). Outcome measures including rectal prolapse, soiling, voluntary bowel control, and constipation, and Kelly Score were analyzed.
Results: There were thirty-four patients (group I, n=20; group II, n=14) undergoing laparoscopic assisted anorectal pullthrough during the study period. The median follow up duration for group I and group II was 60months and 168months, respectively. All patients had stoma performed prior to the operation. Both groups consisted of patients with high type (30% vs 57%, p=0.12) and intermediate type (70% vs 43%, p=0.12) anorectal malformation. Seven (35%) patients in group I and 3 (21%) in group II had concomitant vertebral and spinal cord pathologies (p=0.408). The mean operative time was significantly shorter in group I (193±63min vs 242±49min, p=0.048). Rectal prolapse occurred less in group I, 4 (20%) vs 9 (64%) patients in group II and was statistically significant (p=0.008). Median time to development of rectal prolapse was 7months in group I and 5months in group II (p=0.767). Mucosectomy was performed in 15% of group I and 36% of group II (p=0.171). Soiling occurred less in group I (55% vs 79%, p=0.167). Voluntary bowel control (85% vs 93%, p=0.499) and constipation (55% vs 64%, p=0.601) were comparable in both groups. 75% in group I and 71% in group II achieved a Kelly score of 5 or above (p=0.823).
Conclusions: Our study showed application of anchoring stitch reduces rectal prolapse and soiling in laparoscopic assisted anorectal pullthrough. Treatment Study-Level III.

Introduction: Abdominal and perineal repairs for rectal prolapse are offered to patients based on surgeon assessment of risk. Interpretations of risk can vary. We sought to understand how the preoperative Risk Analysis Index (RAI) score, a validated measure of frailty, aligned with our existing decision-making process for rectal prolapse repair.

Magnetic resonance (MR) defecography, including both static and dynamic phases, is frequently requested by gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons for planning the treatment of obstructive defecation syndrome and pelvic organ prolapse. However, reports often lack key information needed to guide treatment strategies, making management challenging and, at times, controversial. It has been hypothesized that using structured radiology reports could reduce missing information.

Anastomotic leakage is a well-understood major complication of colorectal surgery and carries significant implications for patient morbidity and mortality. However, an infected collection fistulating through an otherwise healthy colorectal anastomosis can mimic an anastomotic leak and warrants different management to a primary anastomotic leak. Such a presentation is undocumented in the current literature.

To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and long-term efficacy of the Jinling procedure for management of refractory mixed constipation. We prospectively collected clinical data of patients with refractory mixed constipation treated by the Jinling procedure in the Institute of General Surgery of our hospital from January 2007 to August 2023. Perioperative complications, effectiveness within 1 year of surgery (as assessed by the Wexner constipation score, gastrointestinal quality of life index, frequency of spontaneous defecation, rate of satisfactory defecation, body composition, serological indicators, defecography, anorectal manometry) and 10 years after surgery (as assessed by the Wexner constipation score, patient assessment of constipation symptom, SF-36 quality of life score, and questionnaire concerning satisfaction with defecation).
