BACKGROUND Rectal washout can prevent local recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer. Few studies have focused particularly on the association between irrigation fluids volume or agents and the risk of local recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between irrigation fluids types, volumes of rectal washout and risk of local recurr...

background: constipation is a common problem in children and most of them are idiopathic or functional. only a few percent of constipations may relate to hirschsprung disease (hd) and may need to rectal biopsy for diagnosis. now a day, most of these children referred to the pediatric surgeon for rectal biopsy to rule out of hd. with regard to complication, emotional effect, spending time and th...

ing rectal resection with anastomosis is symptomatic anastomotic leakage, especially after resection of middle and low rectal cancers. Anastomotic leakage is also a major cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with rectal cancer undergoing sphincter preservation surgery. Leakage rates from 2.8% to more than 15% have been reported by several investigators. Many factors may be...

Background: Perianal fistula is a complicated disorder and most difficult to manage. New treatment methods would help surgeons to achieve a better outcome in patients with perianal fistula. Human amniotic membrane (HAM) has positive effects on wound healing in several conditions. The present study aimed to further determine the effect of HAM on wound healing of perianal fistula in rabbits.Metho...

Rectal syphilis is a rare expression of the widely recognised sexual transmitted disease, also known as the great imitator for its peculiarity of being confused with mild anorectal diseases because of its vague symptoms or believed rectal malignancy, with the concrete risk of overtreatment. We present the case of a male patient with primary rectal syphilis, firstly diagnosed as rectal cancer; t...

with rectal strictures are uncommon. Diagnostic evaluation is carried out with the purpose of differentiating them from the common causes of rectal stricture (including inflammatory bowel disease and malignant disease). There are few reports describing rectal stricture as a late complication of chronic proctitis associated with lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) infection. We present a case of a pa...

Introduction: Rectal cancer treatment has changed over the last several decades. Total mesorectal excision (TME) proven to be gold standard in rectal surgery. Transanal total (TaTME) and robotic (RoTME) for low mid are implemented overcome some of difficulties laparoscopic approach. The aim this study is show a single-center experience learning curves both RoTME TaTME.

Pathologic T1-2N0 rectal cancer shows an excellent prognosis without preoperative or postoperative chemoradiation. However, oncologic outcome of ypT1-2N0 remains unclear and undetermined. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the survival of ypT1-2 and pT1-2 rectal cancer patients after radical resection and identify risk factors of ypT1-2 rectal cancer in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and E...

OBJECTIVE To report our experience in treating patients with rectal injury with radical perineal prostatectomy. METHODS Medical charts of 176 patients submitted to radical perineal prostatectomy from 1996 to 2005 were reviewed to identify rectal problems. A review of rectal injury in prostatectomy is provided. RESULTS Of 176 patients who underwent radical perineal prostatectomy, 10 (5.7%) h...

The cause of solitary rectal ulceration has been investigated using a method that radiologically visualises rectal voiding whilst simultaneously measuring intrarectal pressure and external anal sphincter electromyographic activity. Control subjects and patients with the solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, both with and without mucosal ulceration, have been studied. A high incidence of rectal prolap...
