Filter by:This is a randomized comparative clinical trial carried out to compare between laser ablation and surgery in treating anal diseases in inflammatory bowel diseases patients and find out if one is superior to the other. Inflammatory bowel diseases patients with anal problems were divided into 2 groups, one group had traditional surgery and the other had laser ablation for anal diseases and results were compared between the 2 groups.
The aim of this single-center prospective observational trial is to study the influence of physical and psychological factors on the intensity of pain syndrome after anorectal interventions and to determine the association between the physiological pain threshold before surgery and the level of pain syndrome after anorectal surgery. Participants undergoing surgical treatment for anorectal diseases will be asked to complete the questionnaires before and after surgery, all information will be collected to identify risk factors for severe pain syndrome after surgery. The pain threshold test will be conducted to determine the association with pain after surgery.
Background Anal fissure is one of the most common anorectal problems. After an outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread from China to almost all over the world, it nearly affected all countries. In spite of its typical presentation in the form of fever, cough, myalgia, fatigue and pneumonia, other GIT manifestations were reported. We found some of COVID-19 survivors who had complained from anal fissure problem. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of acute anal fissure among COVID-19 patients, its possible risk factors and outcome. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study which was conducted over three months from the start of September 2020 to the end of November 2020 at Mansoura university isolation hospital, on COVID-19 patients' who were diagnosed with anal fissure. Those who survived and were discharged home safely were telephone called to pick up whether they suffered from any symptoms of anal pain, difficulty in defecation suggesting anal fissure, in order to identify their outcomes, the risk factors for anal fissure development and how they were managed. Results A total of 176 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were categorized into two groups. The first group included patients who developed anal fissure (n=65) and the 2nd group included patients who did not develop anal fissure (n=111). No significant difference was noted in demographic data apart from the age which was younger in the fissure group. The incidence of anal fissure was 36.9% of total population. The majority of patients' anal fissure problem resolved spontaneously after patients improved from the COVID symptoms without receiving any treatment (43.1%). Conclusion Anal fissure is quite common problem after COVID-19. Young and middle age patients are more vulnerable to develop anal fissure after COVID-19 infection.
Consecutive patients with complex anal fistula were prospectively followed for 12 months. Routine MRI was performed before and at 4 and 12 months after surgery. Continence was assessed likewise using a validated questionnaire. Fistula were drained with setons prior surgery. SVF was harvested from subcutaneous abdominal fat and PRP from peripheral blood. Distal fistulectomy to the sphincter was performed and the wound left open, while the internal orifice was closed. SVF-PRP was injected around the fistula. Patients showered their excision wound until dry. Outcomes were reported as median & interquartile range (IQR)
The study compares the efficacy and safety of a Propionibacterium extract gel with 0.4% glyceryl trinitrate ointment in the treatment of chronic anal fissure.
In this study, we will try to answer the following questions: 1. What are the salient features of the microbiota in chronic anal fissure? 2. Are these features associated with prognosis and response to therapy? 3. Does an anal fissure swab and anal fissure tissue give comparable bacteriological results?
The existing literature stresses the better efficacy of polyethylene glycol (PEG) over other stool softeners like lactulose or isabgol to improve functional constipation. But there is no consensus regarding the efficacy of PEG alone vs lactulose combined with isabgol used as stool softeners, frequently used for relieving acute constipation in an acute fissure in ano. Hence a good quality randomised study to compare both efficacies is the need of the hour.
While some investigators found oral metronidazole to be effective in reducing pain after hemorrhoidectomy, other researchers did not find a significant analgesic effect of systemic metronidazole. On the other hand, topical application of metronidazole had more consistent favorable results as Ala et al documented a remarkable analgesic effect of topical metronidazole 10% after excisional hemorrhoidectomy which was in line with Nicholson and Armestrong who also concluded similar results. No previous study compared the analgesic effect of topical and oral metronidazole after anorectal surgery. Therefore, the present trial was conducted to compare the impact of oral versus systemic metronidazole on pain and recovery after surgery for benign anorectal conditions.
BACKGROUND: Currently, the lateral internal sphincterotomy is the treatment of choice for a chronic anal fissure. However, the length of the internal sphincter incision varies, due to lack of standardization. Insufficient length increases the risk of recurrence. OBJECTIVE: To compare a new ultra-modified internal sphincterotomy technique to the closed lateral sphincterotomy for treating chronic anal fissures, based on internal anal sphincter function and postoperative complications. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial (block randomization method) SETTING: Pamukkale University hospital in Denizli-Turkey PARTICIPANTS: 200 patients with chronic anal fissures INTERVENTION: Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Sungurtekin technique (n = 100; ultra-modified group), or the closed lateral internal sphincterotomy (n = 100; closed-lateral group). Follow-up was 2 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was chronic anal fissure healing. The secondary outcomes were complications, visual analog scale pain scores, sphincter pressures, and incontinence scores.
