Cirurgias proctológicas em 3 anos de serviço de coloproctologia: série histórica

In 2007, 72,5% of all surgeries of Coloproctology Departament were from anal procedures. Three years experience of the Medical post-graduation were resumed and analyzed in this study retrospectively. Total 455 patients were submitted to hemorrhoidectomy (40%), fistulectomies (20%) and fissurectomies (13%) and others like pilonidal disease, rectovaginal fistulas. In general, these pathologies are more prevalent in women (54%) from 30 to 50 years old. Hemorrhoids and fissure affected more women, while fistulas affected men. Milligan and Morgans hemorrhoidectomy was realized in 53,7% of the cases with pain and bleeding patterns comparable to Ferguson technique. It had provided a bigger number of residual fissure and fecal incontinence. Stenosis was the same in both methods. Ferguson technique had lowest repair time, even with high tax of dehiscence. Fistula affects four times more men than women. In 65% of the cases, fistulectomy was the technique choice, with better results in terms of pain and bleeding and worse tax of incontinence. Seton was inserted in 14% of the cases, and it was used in average for 20 weeks, and after its withdrawal, 36% referred minor incontinence. The anal fissure showed preference to posterior place. The anterior fissures occurred more in men.

Uso da peritoneostomia na sepse abdominal

Among the therapeutics approach form of abdominal sepsis, the laparostomy has a decisive role allowing cavity explorations and lavages in an easier way. We study patients with abdominal sepsis diagnoses admitted to our surgical service of Coloproctology form Sergipe´s Federal University Hospital who underwent a Bogota Bag laparostomy associated or not with polypropylene mesh from January 2004 to January 2006. These patients were assessed as: first and second diagnosis; secondary peritonitis type; antibiotic-therapy; lavages setup; laparostomy´s time; complications and the end of the treatment. We study 10(83.3%) men and 2(16.7%) women, with average age of 39,3 (15-57). First diagnosis: inflammatory abdomen acute 6(50%), block acute abdomen 2(16.7%), perforative acute abdomen 2(16.7%), fistula 1(8.3%) and intracavity abscess 1(8.3%). Secondary diagnosis: colon perforation in 4(33.3%), intracavity abscess 3(25%), anastomoses dehiscence 3(25%), 1(8.3%) with sigmoid perforative cancer and 1(8.3%) with colon necrosis. Fecal peritonitis was found in 10 patients (83.3%) and purulent in 2(16.7%). The antibiotic-therapy was made during nineteen days. Lavages on demand 6(50%), planned with 4(33.3%) and mixed setup in 2(16.7%). The average time of the laparostomy was 10,9 days (1-36). Complications: evisceration in 2 cases (16.7%) and fistulization in only one (8.3%). Four patients died.

Avaliação do tratamento de fissura anal crônica com isossorbida tópica a 1 por cento

INTRODUCTION: Chronic anal fissures are deep, benign and painful ulcers. The involved factors are local trauma, sphinter hypertonia and poor blood flow. Surgery is gold standard treatment, but it causes fecal incontinence. Medical non-surgical therapy gets transitory resting pressure reduction and cure of lesions, without muscular damage. METHODS: In order to evaluate the treatment of chronic anal fissures using topical isossorbide (ISO) 1%, a randomizated and double-blind study twas carried out in Coloproctology Section of Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), Sergipe, Brazil, during one year. Twenty-four patients were evaluated: 14 in Group 1 - ISO cream, and 10 in Group 2 - placebo. Resting pressure profile, improvement of painful symptoms and degree of scaring of the fissure were evaluated. RESULTS: Ulcer was more prevalent in women, constipation was present in 58.3%. The evacuatory pain was less common in Group 2, but without statistical significance. After 60 days, the healing was equal in the both groups (50%). There was a small reduction of resting pressure means at the end of 30 and 60 days, without statistical significance. Healing patients presented more resting pressure reducing. CONCLUSION: ISO cream did not influence the manometric response standard; otherwise it offered clinical improvement in both groups, whose scarring index was similar.

Cirurgias colorretais no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Sergipe: três anos da criação do Serviço de Coloproctologia (série histórica)

We studied colorectal surgeries carried through by the SC-HU/UFS from January 2004 to July 2006, historical series, referring to the creation of the colorectal medical residence. Registres by seventy patients that 53(75.7%) were masculine sort and 17(24.3%) feminine; medium age is 52 years. They had been submitted to the 102 procedures, 1,4 surgeries/patients, 29 reoperations. Nineteen(18.6%) had been reconstitutions of intestinal transit, 15(14.8%) retossigmoidectomy, 11(10.8%) total colectomy, 9(8.8%) right colectomy, 6(5.8%) abdomino-perineais amputations, 3(2.9%) proctocolectomy, 2(1.9%) left colectomy. Eighteen (17.6%) surgeries were indicated for colorectal cancer, 8(7.8%) of rectum and 1(0.9%) of the anal canal; 10(9.9%) for megacolon; 10(9.9%) previous colostomy, 5(5.9%) Crohns Disease, 5(4.9%) DDC, 3(2.9%) RCUI. Forty-eight (47.1%) surgeries have had surgical complication: 32(31.4%) ISOS, 13(12.7%) abdominal abscess, 11(10.8%) fistulas, 7(6.9%) dehiscences of anastomoses, etc. We observe wound infection in 27(26.5%) surgeries. Fifty-five(53.9%) patients had been submitted to the anastomoses, 32(58.2%) manual and 23(41.8%) stapled ones. It had dehiscence of anastomoses in 7(12.7%) surgeries: 1(3.1%) dehiscence for manual anastomoses and 6(26.1%) dehiscences for stapled anastomoses. Death in 11(15.7%) patient ones occurred. We evaluate the main data of the work objectifying to define goals, to elaborate and to improve the effective protocols, necessary to the good performance of the residence service.

Peutz-Jeguers syndrome: case report and literature review

The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare disease characterized by the presence of mucocutaneous melanic pigmentation of the lips, oral mucosa and perioral region, associated with hamartomatous intestinal polyposis. Malignization of the polyps and association with other types of cancer are also usual. Case report: 32-year-old patient, female, white, who had an intestinal occlusion by invagination, discovered during laparotomy, when an intestinal tumor was found as well. The material was sent to anotomopathological analysis. However, the results did not allow to identify the tumor nature due to tumor necrosis. Then, the patient was sent to our service because of the intestinal polyps, and during the interview, the characteristic melanic pigmentation was observed. Videocolonoscopy was performed, with excision of two rectal polyps, identified in the anatomopathological exam as hamartomatous polyps. The patient reported anal imperforation at birth, just like her brother. He had unexplained death. The authors found no correlation of the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with anal imperforation in the literature and asked the patient if her brother also had the syndrome.
