Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Klinik St. Anna, Lucerne, CHE.

Cloacogenic polyps (CPs) are considered benign lesions arising in the anorectal transition zone. Most, but not all, patients are symptomatic with hematochezia, constipation, or abdominal pain. Although considered benign, resection is recommended due to the possibility of malignant transformation.

Background: Internal hemorrhoids (IH) is a common medical condition that can result in morbidity secondary to bleeding and discomfort. Treatment for IH has traditionally consisted of dietary and conservative medical management, focal treatments including banding and sclerotherapy or hemorrhoidectomy. Recently, rectal artery embolization (RAE) has been studied as a potential treatment for bleeding predominant IH.

Purpose: Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication of colorectal cancer surgery, prolonging hospital stays and impacting patient prognosis. Preventive colostomy is required in patients at risk of anastomotic fistulas. However, it remains unclear whether the commonly used loop colostomy(LC) or loop ileostomy(LI) can reduce the complications of colorectal surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Patient-centered educational resources about rectal prolapse and rectocele are often hard to find and comprehend, but video animations may help create effective tools for patient education.
  • The study aimed to understand female patients' preferences for learning these conditions and gather feedback on a short educational animation created for this purpose.
  • Results showed that 97% of participants found the video clear and helpful, but many faced challenges like difficulty in finding reliable information online, suggesting that such animations should be integrated into initial medical consultations.

Rapid Onset of De Novo Rectal Prolapse Following Colpocleisis.

Int Urogynecol J

June 2024

Department of Surgery, Toyota Kosei Hospital, 500-1 Josui-Cho, Toyota, Aichi, 470-0396, Japan.

Introduction: The aim of this video case series is to demonstrate our experience of the clinical findings and the surgical management of the rapid onset de novo rectal prolapse (RP) following colpocleisis METHODS: This is a case series of three patients who developed de novo RP within 1 month after colpocleisis, which was repaired by laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR). The video shows the physical, radiological, and intraoperative findings of these patients. A retrospective review of our surgical cases of RP was also performed to analyze the onset timing of de novo RP after various pelvic organ prolapse (POP) procedures.

  • This study examined the link between bowel transit issues during pregnancy and the development of anal pathologies, focusing on their incidence, diagnosis, and treatment within the first 6 weeks after childbirth.
  • Conducted in Bamako, Mali, the research enrolled 1,422 pregnant women, revealing that 38.4% experienced anal pathologies, with the most common being hemorrhoids (13%), anal fissures (10.5%), and anal incontinence (8.6%).
  • Key risk factors included being over 30 years old, having chronic constipation, delivering a larger baby, and prolonged fetal expulsion time, emphasizing the need for systematic screening and early treatment to prevent complications.

Rectal prolapse, or procidentia, is a common pathology for the practicing colorectal surgeon. It is associated with lifestyle limiting symptoms for the patient and frequently co-exists with other types of pelvic prolapse making multidisciplinary management key. It is primarily managed with surgical reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
  • A study comparing laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) and perineal stapler resection (PSR) in elderly patients with external full-thickness rectal prolapse showed that LVMR resulted in significantly fewer complications and lower recurrence rates.
  • LVMR was linked to better postoperative outcomes, including less incontinence, less constipation, and higher patient satisfaction compared to PSR.
  • Key predictors for prolapse recurrence included the surgical method used (LVMR associated with a 93% reduction in risk), the duration of symptoms, and the length of the prolapse.

Background: Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) is considered to be the gold standard for managing rectal prolapse. Nevertheless, concerns have been expressed about the use of this procedure in elderly patients. The aim of the current study was to examine the perioperative safety of primary LVMR operations in the oldest old in comparison to younger individuals and to assess our hospital policy of offering LVMR to all patients, regardless of age and morbidity.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a very common problem that can affect any aspect of the pelvic floor. Often, vaginal and rectal prolapse occur simultaneously. Prior case reports have suggested resolution of symptoms of rectal prolapse in those with concomitant rectal and vaginal prolapse; however, the overall body of evidence is limited.

Introduction And Importance: Ilea caecum Intussusception protruding to the level of anus is a rare manifestation and potentially serious condition in infants.

Case Presentation: A four-month-old infant presented with a one-day history of non-projectile vomiting, three episodes, food contents, worsened by feeding, accompanied by intermittent low-grade fever, and one instance of passing black tarry stool. After outpatient treatment, the infant showed improvement for three days, but later the mother noticed a protruding, self-reducing anal mass, hence the suspected rectal prolapse, which was then Referred for further management.

Currently, there is no consensus on the position and method for temporary ileostomy in robotic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Herein, this study introduced the B-type sutured ileostomy, a new temporary ileostomy technique, and compared it to the traditional one to assess its efficacy and safety. Between September 2020 and December 2022 in our centre, B-type sutured ileostomy was performed on 124 patients undergoing robotic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer.

A defunctioning stoma is used to alleviate the consequences of anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. A loop ileostomy is often preferred but may lead to dehydration and kidney injury. Here, we present a case series for an alternative: the left-sided loop colostomy.

High-grade hemorrhoids are usually recommended to receive operational treatments. However, these traditional surgeries are associated with severe postoperative pain. A procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH), a circular staple device, has been developed to improve short-term outcomes, including reducing the severity of postoperative pain.

Background: We aimed to compare among patients with high-type anorectal malformations (ARM): (i) short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty (LAARP) compared to classic posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) and (ii) the results of single-stage versus staged PSARP.

Methods: Using a defined search strategy, two independent investigators systematically reviewed the English literature. PRISMA guidelines were followed, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.

Indications for combined colon surgery together with other procedures include oncologic multivisceral resections and abdominal trauma. It is unclear if combining minimally invasive (MI) colon surgery with unrelated other procedures increases the risk for complications. The surgical database from two institutions during a 10-year period was queried for combined colon surgeries together with other interventions.

Background: Surgical treatment of recurrent rectal prolapse is associated with unique technical challenges, partially determined by the surgical approach used for the index operation. Success rates are variable, and data to determine the best approach in patients with recurring prolapse are lacking.

Objective: The study aimed to assess current surgical approaches to patients with prior rectal prolapse repairs and to compare short-term outcomes of de novo and redo procedures, including recurrence of rectal prolapse.

Rectosigmoid solitary juvenile polyps are benign lesions, relatively frequent in childhood. The clinical debut of a pediatric polyp with bleeding is relatively frequent, but there are very few reports of rectal prolapse of polyps. We present the case of a 7-year-old female patient with no previous history who presented with rectal prolapse of a polyp with acute bleeding.
