This prospective, randomized, controlled trial was designed to compare the clinical, functional, and morphologic results of pneumatic balloon dilatation with lateral internal sphincterotomy for treatment chronic anal fissure.All patients symptomatic fissure were randomly assigned or invited complete a standardized questionnaire inquiring about their symptoms. Anal ultrasonography manometry performed before six months after surgery. A proctologic examination between fifth sixth postoperative...
The use of a dedicated score represents an essential tool for the clinical staging obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic options, evaluation results. This study was designed to develop validate new, simple, disease-specific scoring system ODS. questionnaire consists 5 items: excessive straining, incomplete rectal evacuation, enemas and/or laxatives, vaginal-anal-perineal digitations, abdominal discomfort pain. Each item graded from 0 with ranging ( no...
Introduction . Functional disorders of the pelvic floor represent have a significant impact on quality life. The advent open-configuration systems allowed for evaluation defecation with MR imaging in sitting position. purpose present study is to compare results static and dynamic performed supine position versus position, using new prototype machine, diagnosis descent. Materials Methods Thirty-one patients were enrolled, underwent Defecography 1.5 T closed magnet (MAGNETOM Symphony, Siemens,...
PURPOSE: As many as 60 percent of patients present with recurrent symptoms fecal incontinence after anterior overlapping anal sphincter repair. The aim this study was to assess the outcome repeat METHODS: All female obstetric damage who underwent repair between November 1988 and June 2000 were reviewed. preoperatively assessed by anorectal manometry, electromyography, pudendal nerve terminal motor latency; manometry repeated during follow-up. Preoperative endoanal ultrasonography available...

Stapled transanal rectal resection has become the primary surgical procedure for treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome caused by rectocele or intussusception. The is generally performed with 2 circular staplers. Recently, a dedicated contour-curved stapler was developed.This study designed to compare effects these types on relief symptoms.A randomized controlled trial conducted at regional referral center in Naples, Italy.Patients and intussusception, treated from November 2005 through...
Pneumatic balloon dilation has been shown to be effective in the management of chronic anal fissure, but its effect on sphincter not fully investigated. The aim this study was evaluate prospectively clinical, anatomic, and functional pattern a group patients treated by pneumatic dilation.A series 33 consecutive suffering from fissure underwent dilation. Anal manometry ultrasonography were performed prior 6 12 months after treatment. Manometry accomplished means an endoanal 40-mm inflated...
Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Stapled Trans-Anal Rectal Resection (STARR) in treatment Obstructed Defecation Syndrome ODS by analysis data collected STARR Italian Registry (SIR) with a special emphasis on symptoms quality life. Methods: Collected included, preoperative tests findings, evaluation symptoms; latter obtained using dedicated tools such as Score (ODS-S), Severity Symptom (SSS), Continence Grading Scale (CGS). Data life were Patient...
Perianal giant condyloma acuminatum is a rare variant of acuminata and often represents therapeutic challenge. We report case successfully treated with surgical excision alone.
We hypothesized that pathological perineal descent may be responsible for the failure of operations obstructed defecation syndrome and correcting excessive improve outcome in this group patients.The purpose study was to report short-term preliminary results a novel surgical procedure, transverse support, correction descent.This prospective, uncontrolled, open-label study.The conducted hospital university center.Among 25 patients observed with previous surgery syndrome, 12 underwent were...

Methods. All diffuse (Hinchey 3 and 4) American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥3 were included underwent DCS consisting a 2-step procedure. The first was peritoneal lavage, colon-stapled resection, temporary abdominal closure negative pressure wound therapy combined instillation. second step,...
Despite the widely accepted association between excessive straining and perineal descent, clinical significance of descent in patients with obstructed defecation syndrome is still unclear.This study aimed to evaluate prevalence pathological impact on symptoms severity.This was a prospective multicenter uncontrolled study.The involved 3 hospital pelvic-care centers conducted from January 2018 2022.The included 141 consecutive adult an score 9 or more no evidence organic GI pathology. All...
This multicenter randomized study was designed to compare the clinical and functional results of stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) performed with 2 staplers (PPH-01 vs. PPH-03) in treatment hemorrhoidal disease associated a large internal prolapse.From total 937 patients, referred for 20 centers involved study, 425 (45.3%) prolapsed hemorrhoids prolapse were undergo STARR PPH-01 or PPH-03. Postoperative evaluation made at 3, 6, 12 months.The incidence bleeding line significantly...
