Sphincter damage during fistulotomy for perianal fistulae and its relationship with faecal incontinence.
Abstract Background The length of sphincter which can be divided during fistulotomy for perianal fistula is unclear. The aim was to quantify sphincter damage during fistulotomy and determine the relationship between such damage with symptoms and severity of faecal incontinence and long-term quality of life (QOL). Methods A prospective cohort study was performed over a 2-year period. Patients with intersphincteric and mid to low transsphincteric perianal fistulas without risk factors for faecal incontinence were scheduled for fistulotomy. All patients underwent 3D endoanal ultrasound (3D-EAUS) pre-operatively and 8 weeks postoperatively. Measurements were taken of pre- and postoperative anal…
The role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the management of iatrogenic bile duct injury after cholecystectomy
espanolIntroduccion: la lesion yatrogenica de la via biliar (LYVB) es una complicacion con elevada morbilidad tras la colecistectomia. En los ultimos anos la endoscopia ha adquirido un papel fundamental en el manejo de esta patologia. Metodos: estudio retrospectivo de LYVB tras colecistectomia abierta (CA) o colecistectomia laparoscopica (CL) tratadas en nuestro centro entre 1993 y 2017. Se analizaron los datos referentes a las caracteristicas clinicas, tipo de lesion segun la clasificacion de Strasberg-Bismuth, diagnostico, tecnica de reparacion y seguimiento. Resultados: se estudian 46 pacientes. La incidencia LYVB fue de 0,48%, 0,61% para las CL y 0,24% para las CA. El diagnostico se rea…
