Overlap repair of damaged anal sphincter. A single surgeon's series

Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
P J Sitzler, J P Thomson

Abstract

This study was undertaken to review consecutive cases of anal sphincter repair performed by a single surgeon with respect to outcome as measured by continence grade using the Parks-Browning scale. Other parameters such as manometry, pudendal nerve function, and morbidity are also reviewed with respect to outcome. Thirty-one of 52 patients identified by computer were available for analysis. Case notes were retrieved, and information was transferred into a standard proforma. Minimum follow-up was one month, and continence grade was documented from clinical notes recorded at follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using Instat computer package. Four patients were male, 27 were female. Average age was 41.9 years. There was no postoperative mortality; postoperative morbidity was 32 percent in total, but morbidity per procedure was 19.6 percent. Most (20 of 31) patients had a clear obstetric-related cause of their anal sphincter injury. Successful outcome was achieved in 74.2 percent of patients. Postoperative anal manometry was not discriminatory between successful and failed groups. Anal ultrasound appeared accurate in documenting residual anal sphincter defects in the poor outcome group in the small number of patients in who...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
