The changes in resting anal pressure after performing full-thickness rectal advancement flaps.
2017
Background: Advancement flap is an accepted approach for treating complex fistula-in-ano. The purpose was to evaluate the changes in resting pressure along the anal canal after performing a full-thickness flap. Methods: Manometric review of patients who have undergone a full-thickness rectal advancement flap procedure for complex anal fistulas of cryptoglandular origin. Recurrence and continence were evaluated. Resting Anal Pressure was assessed along the anal canal by two measures: maximum resting pressure(MRP) and inferior resting pressure(IRP) at 0.5 cm from the anal verge. Results: 119 patients were evaluated. Overall recurrence rate was5.9%. Anal continence was maintained intact in 76.…
Endoscopic Microsurgery of Rectal Tumors
1987
Seventy-five patients with sessile adenomas or early carcinomas of the rectum or rectosigmoid were operated on with the new technique "transanal endoscopic microsurgery" Employing a newly developed complex endoscopic operating system, complete removal of sessile adenomas can be accomplished up to a distance of 25 cm from the anal verge, accurately and non-invasively. Complications occurred in three cases, with no resulting mortality. In the follow-up period we discovered only one adenomatous recurrence that required operative treatment. The superior accuracy of preparation, a short average stay in hospital, and low recurrence and complication rates are the advantages of this transanal endos…
