ObjectiveTo observe the effect of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy (Abbreviated as combined therapy) in the treatment of severe mixed hemorrhoids complicated with high rectal and anal canal resting pressure.MethodsFrom January 2016 to June 2018, the patients with grade Ⅲ–Ⅳ mixed hemorrhoids who underwent surgical treatment in this hospital were selected for the prospective study, including 100 patients with high pressure (>70 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and 100 patients with low pressure (≤70 mm Hg), then which were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the random number table method (with 50 cases in each group). The patients in the control group underwent the PPH and in the experimental group underwent the combined therapy. The therapeutic effect and perioperative indicators were observed in each group, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain before and after the operation, the incidence of complications and the recurrence rate of symptoms were observed, the factors influencing the therapeutic effect of combined therapy were analyzed.ResultsWhether for the patients with high or low rectal and anal canal resting pressure, although the operation time of the experimental group was significantly longer than that of the control group (t=8.996, P<0.001; t=8.927, P<0.001), the total effective rate was higher (χ2=7.294, P=0.007; χ2=6.775, P=0.009), the length of stay in hospital was shorter (t=11.922, P<0.001; t=11.442, P<0.001), the hospital expenses decreased significantly (t=2.226, P=0.028; t=2.562, P=0.012), the VAS score at 24 h and 72 h after operation were lower (24 h: t=12.659, P<0.001; t=12.191, P<0.001; 72 h: t=9.920, P<0.001; t=9.901, P<0.001), the incidence of postoperative complications was lower (χ2=7.484, P=0.006; χ2=11.416, P=0.001) in the experimental group as compared with the control group; there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=1.042, P=0.307; χ2=0.211, P=0.646). The course of disease and the grade of internal hemorrhoids were the independent factors influencing the marked efficiency of combined therapy (χ2=7.417, P=0.009; χ2=4.286, P=0.017).ConclusionsCombined therapy is effective in treatment of severe mixed hemorrhoids complicated with high rectal and anal canal resting pressure, it could accelerate recovery of patients and relieve pain. It should be paid attention to patients with long course of disease and severe degree of internal hemorrhoids.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of nickel-titanium shape memory alloy compression anastomosis clip (Ni-Ti CAC) for gastrointestinal anastomosis.
MethodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Knowledge and CBM databases were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the efficacy and safety of Ni-Ti CAC versus surgical stapler for gastrointestinal anastomosis. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.
ResultsEight RCTs involving 457 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the surgical stapler group, the Ni-Ti CAC group was superior in operation time (MD=-8.30, 95%CI-15.58 to-1.02, P=0.03), food intake (MD=-0.37, 95%CI-0.70 to-0.03, P=0.03), bowel movement (MD=-1.13, 95%CI-1.67 to-0.59, P < 0.000 1), passing gas time (MD=-0.30, 95%CI-0.55 to-0.06, P=0.01), and length of hospital stay (MD=-1.04, 95%CI-1.35 to-0.74, P < 0.000 01), with significant differences. No significant difference was found in anastomosis time (MD=-1.84, 95%CI-3.91 to 0.22, P=0.08). As for safety, no significant difference was found in anastomosis-related complications between both groups.
ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that Ni-Ti CAC achieves better efficacy and safety in gastrointestinal anastomosis compared with surgical stapler.
目的 探討在局部麻醉下行痔上黏膜環形切除釘合術（procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids，PPH）治療重度內痔的可行性及臨床應用價值。方法 筆者所在醫院科室從2005年起對32例Ⅲ度及Ⅳ度脫垂性內痔（含1例混合痔）患者均采用苯巴比妥＋氫溴酸東莨菪堿＋利多卡因肛管直腸環形局部浸潤麻醉行PPH術，對其麻醉效果、手術時間、術中及術后疼痛、尿潴留、術后感染、肛門狹窄、住院時間、治療滿意度等進行分析。結果 32例患者均順利完成手術，有1例術中改行低位連續硬膜外麻醉，1例輔加鎮靜劑及鎮痛劑。術后28例對疼痛能耐受，4例需鎮痛藥物；1例患者有肛門墜脹感；所有患者傷口均一期愈合，無尿潴留、術后感染、出血、肛門狹窄等并發癥發生；31例對療效滿意，有1例感肛門墜脹，行溫水坐浴及痔瘡膏納肛治療1周后緩解。住院時間3～6d，平均4d。32例患者均進行有效隨訪，隨訪時間2～4個月，平均3個月，無大便失禁或復發，肛門控便能力均可。結論 局部麻醉下行PPH術治療重度內痔是一種安全可行的手術方法，麻醉操作護理簡單，療效確切，術后并發癥少，術后恢復快，并可減少醫療費用。
Objective Both stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) and vaginal bridge repair are new operative techniques for treatment of rectocele transanal and transvaginal, respectively. In this study we observe the clinical outcomes for STARR as compared with vaginal bridge repair procedure. Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with obstructive defecation syndrome from January 2007 to May 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to different operative approach: STARR group (n=18) and bridge repair suture group (n=13). The clinical outcomes observed were operative time, blood loss, length of stay, cost of hospitalization, complication and the improvement of obstructed defecation syndrome. Results There was no difference in the age and severity in the patients of two groups. Evaluation of the clinical outcomes showed 16 (88.9%) patients in the STARR group and 6 (46.2%) in the bridge repair suture group reported improvement in symptoms (P=0.017). STARR had a shorter operative time (24.6 min vs. 33.2 min， Plt;0.01), less estimated blood loss (3.9 ml vs. 16.2 ml， Plt;0.01), more costly (10 743 yuan vs. 3 543 yuan, Plt;0.01) and a higher anal incontinenc rate but reversible. The length of stay was similar (average 6 d). Conclusion The stapled transanal rectal resection procedure is more superior to the vaginal bridge repair suture for improvement of obstructed defecation syndrome from rectocele, however, it has a higher cost and some patient with reversible slight anal incontinence after surgery.
