- Abstract
Background: Obstructed defecation syndrome is a common multifactorial disease for which treatment is based primarily on clinic presentation for the lack of reliable instrumental and anatomopathological criteria., Objective: The study aimed to analyze the pathological findings of the resected rectal specimens after stapled transanal rectal resection in patients affected by outlet obstruction., Design: Retrospective cohort study., Settings: University hospital., Patients: Patients who underwent rectal resection for obstructed defecation syndrome due to internal rectal prolapse were included., Interventions: Specimens of patients with obstructed defecation syndrome were analyzed through conventional histology and morphometric image analysis and compared with those of rectal specimens excised for oncological diseases., Main Outcome Measures: Analysis of the anatomopathological impairments underlying rectal prolapse., Results: From January 2017 to December 2020, 46 specimens from the stapled transanal rectal resection group were compared with 40 specimens from the control group. In the stapled transanal rectal resection group, conventional histology revealed 34 samples (73.9%) had moderate- to severe-grade fibrosis with moderate-grade nerve degeneration in 33 cases (71.7%). In the control group, conventional histology revealed the absence of fibrosis in 31 specimens (77.5%), whereas the absence of nerve degeneration was detected in 37 specimens (92.5%). In the stapled transanal rectal resection group, morphometric image analysis showed severe-grade fibrosis in 25 cases (54.4%) compared to only low-grade fibrosis in 11 cases (27.5%)., Limitations: The small sample size and the retrospective design of the study were limitations. Moreover, there was no chance to use specimens from healthy volunteers as the control group., Conclusions: Stapled transanal rectal resection specimens showed a higher rate of fibrosis and nerve dysplasia, an important parameter that is typically not considered preoperatively and could lead patients with rectal prolapse to the best treatment approach.

En histología convencional, el grupo de resección rectal transanal con grapas, 34 muestras (73,9%) presentaron un grado de fibrosis moderada-severa con un grado moderado de degeneración neurógena en 33 casos (71,7%). En el grupo control, la histología convencional reveló ausencia de fibrosis en 31 especímenes (77,5 %), mientras que la ausencia de degeneración neurógena se detectó en 37 controles (92,5 %). En el grupo de resección rectal transanal con grapas, el análisis de imágenes morfométricas mostró fibrosis moderada y fibrosis severa en 19 (41,3%) y 25 (54,4%) casos, respectivamente. En el grupo control, el análisis de imágenes morfométricas mostró solo un bajo grado de fibrosis en 11 casos (27,5%). Se encontró una diferencia significativa en todos los grados de fibrosis y displasia neurógena entre los grupos en las evaluaciones de análisis de imagen morfométrica e histología convencional (p < 0,001).LIMITACIONES:El pequeño tamaño de la muestra y el diseño retrospectivo del estudio. Además, no existe la posibilidad de utilizar un grupo de control con muestras de voluntarios sanos.CONCLUSIONES:Los especímenes de resección rectal transanal con grapas mostraron una mayor tasa de fibrosis y displasia neurógena, parámetro importante que actualmente no está considerado antes de la operación y en un futuro muy cercano podría orientar a los pacientes con prolapso rectal interno hacia un mejor enfoque de tratamiento.

- Abstract
Background: Intersphincteric injectable bulking agents are one of the current treatment options for fecal incontinence, failing behavioral and medical therapy. Gatekeeper showed promising short-term results, but long-term outcomes are unknown., Objective: The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate a prospective cohort of fecal incontinence patients up to 36 months after implantation of Gatekeeper., Design: This was a prospective clinical study., Settings: The study was conducted at a large university tertiary care hospital., Patients: Consecutive female patients were eligible if fecal incontinence onset was ≥6 months before the first visit and symptoms were refractory to standard conservative measures., Interventions: All of the patients underwent implantation of 4 or 6 Gatekeeper prostheses. Three-dimensional endoanal ultrasonography and high-resolution anorectal manometry were performed preoperatively and postoperatively at 2 and 3 months after implantation., Main Outcome Measures: The Cleveland Clinic Fecal Incontinence score was calculated at baseline and 1, 3, 12, 24, and 36 months postoperatively., Results: Twenty patients (all women; median age, 59 y) were enrolled, and all implants were uneventful. Postoperative endoanal ultrasonography showed normal prosthesis localization in 16 patients (80%). At manometry, mean anal resting pressure significantly improved (57.8 ± 7.5 mm Hg; p = 0.0004). Mean preoperative Cleveland Clinic Fecal Incontinence score was 12.4 ± 1.8, with significant improvements initially documented at 3 months (4.9 ± 1.5; p < 0.0001) and sustained up to 36 months (4.9 ± 1.7; p < 0.0001). Patients receiving only 4 (compared with 6) prostheses and those experiencing pudendal neuropathy (compared with those who did not) showed significantly higher Cleveland Clinic Fecal Incontinence score values in the middle term., Limitations: The study was limited by its small sample size and absence of quality-of-life data., Conclusions: Initial improvements after Gatekeeper implantation for fecal incontinence are sustained in the middle term. Accurate preoperative evaluation of coexistent clinical conditions that may negatively affect outcomes is recommended for patient selection. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B109. RESULTADOS A MEDIANO PLAZO EN LA IMPLANTACIÓN DE GATEKEEPER PARA LA INCONTINENCIA FECAL: Los agentes de volumen inyectables interesfintéricos, son opciones actuales de tratamiento para la incontinencia fecal, ante fallas de terapias conductuales y médicas. Gatekeeper mostró resultados prometedores a corto plazo, pero resultados a largo plazo aún son desconocidos.Evaluar clínicamente una cohorte prospectiva de pacientes con incontinencia fecal, hasta 36 meses después de la implantación de Gatekeeper.Estudio clínico prospectivo.El estudio se realizó en un gran hospital universitario de atención terciaria.Fueron elegibles pacientes femeninas consecutivas, si el inicio de la incontinencia fecal, fue al menos 6 meses antes de la primera visita, y que los síntomas fueron refractarios a las medidas conservadoras estandarizadas.Todas las pacientes fueron sometidas a implantación de 4 o 6 prótesis Gatekeeper. Se realizó ecografía endoanal de 3D y manometría anorrectal de alta resolución, antes de la implantación y después a los 2 y 3 meses.Se calculó el puntaje de incontinencia fecal de la Cleveland Clinic al inicio, y a los 1, 3, 12, 24 y 36 meses después de la operación.Se inscribieron veinte pacientes (todas mujeres; con edad media de 59 años), y todos los implantes transcurrieron sin incidentes. La ecografía endoanal postoperatoria, mostró localización normal de la prótesis en 16 (80%) pacientes. A la manometría, la presión media de reposo anal, mejoró significativamente (57.8 ± 7.5 mmHg, p = 0.0004). La puntuación media preoperatoria de la incontinencia fecal de la Cleveland Clinic, fue de 12.35 ± 1.75, con mejoras significativas documentadas inicialmente a los 3 meses (4.9 ± 1.5, p <0.0001) y sostenidas hasta los 36 meses (4.9 ± 1.7, p <0.0001). Los pacientes que recibieron solo 4 prótesis (en comparación con 6) y que padecían neuropatía pudenda (en comparación con aquellas que no la padecían), mostraron valores de puntaje de Incontinencia Fecal de la Clínica Cleveland, significativamente más altos en el mediano plazo.El tamaño pequeño de la muestra y la ausencia de datos en calidad de vida.Las mejoras iniciales después de la implantación de Gatekeeper para la incontinencia fecal, se mantienen en el mediano plazo. Para la selección de pacientes, se recomienda una precisa evaluación preoperatoria de las condiciones clínicas coexistentes, que puedan afectar negativamente los resultados.

- Abstract
Purpose: Pneumatic balloon dilation has been shown to be effective in the management of chronic anal fissure, but its effect on the anal sphincter has not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively the clinical, anatomic, and functional pattern in a group of patients treated by pneumatic balloon dilation., Methods: A series of 33 consecutive patients suffering from chronic anal fissure underwent pneumatic balloon dilation. Anal manometry and ultrasonography were performed prior to and 6 to 12 months after the treatment. Manometry was accomplished by means of an endoanal 40-mm balloon inflated with a pressure of 1.4 atmospheres that was left in situ for six minutes under local anesthesia. All patients were interviewed daily for three days after surgery and then clinically evaluated between the third and fifth postoperative weeks. Most patients were interviewed after 25.7 +/- 8.4 months (mean +/- standard deviation). Anal incontinence was evaluated by means of a validated score of 1 to 6., Results: The chronic anal fissure healed between the third and fifth weeks in 31 patients (94 percent), who became asymptomatic 2.5 +/- 1.4 days after pneumatic balloon dilation. None of them reported anal pain two years after the treatment (n = 20). The first post-pneumatic balloon dilation defecation was painless in 27 cases (82 percent). Two multiparous females (6 percent of the patients) complained of minor transient anal incontinence (score, 3). Chronic anal fissure recurred in one case (3 percent) after treatment. At manometry, the preoperative anal resting pressure decreased from 91 +/- 11.2 to 70.5 +/- 5.6 and to 78 +/- 5.7 mmHg, 6 and 12 months after pneumatic balloon dilation, respectively (P < 0.0001). Anal ultrasonography did not show any significant sphincter defect., Conclusions: Pneumatic balloon dilation seems to be an effective, safe, easy procedure that decreases anal resting pressure without endosonographically detectable significant sphincter damage.
