Delayed Coloanal Anastomosis for rectovaginal fistula after colorectal resection for deep endometriosis
2016
The deep infiltrating endometriosis, defined as a subperitoneal infiltration of endometrial implants of ≥ 5 mm involving not only the colorectal tract but also rectovaginal septum, vagina and bladder often requires a challenging surgery. Endometriosis nodes of the rectovaginal septum, if symptomatic, need a resection of the involved colorectal tract with colorectal or coloanal anastomosis. Unfortunately in these cases is not uncommon the possibility of a postoperative rectovaginal fistula (RVF), caused by the weakness of the septum that must be skeletonized to completely remove the endometriosis nodes. Here we present a case of anastomotic leakage with high RVF after colorectal resection an…
Low rectal cancer: abdominoperineal resection or low Hartmann resection? A postoperative outcome analysis.
2011
BACKGROUND In distal rectum cancers, when the sphincters are not affected and it is not possible to perform a coloanal anastomosis because of the presence of comorbidities or the advanced age of the patient, a low Hartmann resection with total mesorectal excision can be performed. Low Hartmann resection is usually considered to be a shorter procedure and to have an inferior morbidity compared with abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the postoperative outcome of a series of patients with low rectal cancer who have undergone either low Hartmann resection or abdominoperineal resection. DESIGN This study is a retrospective analysis of data collected i…
Transanal coloanal anastomosis for Hirschsprung's disease: comparison between endorectal and perirectal pull-through procedures.
2006
Le but de cette etude est de comparer les resultats de 2 techniques chirurgicales d'abaissement transanal par voie perineale pour maladie de Hirschsprung de forme recto-sigmoidienne. Materiel et Methode: Vingt-et-un patients porteurs de maladie de Hirschsprung de forme recto-sigmoidienne ont ete consecutivement operes entre novembre 1999 et avril 2003 dans les services de Chirurgie Pediatrique de Dijon et Strasbourg. Les 21 enfants ont ete operes par voie perineale transanale: Douze d'entre eux ont eu une dissection peri-rectale (TPR) et 9 une endorectale type Soave (TER). Les 2 groupes de patients ont ete compares pour la longueur du segment aganglionnaire, l'âge et le poids au moment de l…
Differences in ano-neorectal physiology of ileoanal and coloanal reconstructions for restorative proctectomy
2010
Objective Restorative proctectomy with straight coloanal anastomosis (CAA) and restorative proctocolectomy with ilealpouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) are options for maintaining bowel integrity after rectal resection. The aim of this study was to compare clinical function and anorectal physiology in patients treated with CAA and IPAA. Method Three-dimensional vector-manometry and neorectal volumetry were performed in straight CAA [53 patients (34 male)] and IPAA [61 patients (39 male)] for ulcerative colitis. Function was assessed using a 14 day incontinence diary. Results Function was similar in both groups, but neorectal compliance and threshold volumes for sensation, urge and maximum tol…
Correlation between fecal incontinence and quality of life after low anterior resection for rectal cancer
2014
SUMMARY Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between fecal incontinence and quality of life after low anterior resection and long-term follow-up. Methods: For 72 patients with coloanal or low colorectal anastomosis, the quality of life was determined by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaires C-30 and CR-38. The Vaizey score was used for assessment of fecal incontinence. Results: The risk of fecal incontinence significantly increased with a lower level of anastomosis (p < 0.001). The QLQ CR-38 did not discern differences between patients. The OLQ C-30 only found significantly worse social and role function in pat…
