RESUMO

AIM: The development of robotic assistance has made dissection and suturing in the deep pelvis much easier. The augmented quality of the images and the articulation of the robotic arms have also enabled a more precise dissection. The aim of this study is to present the data on robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy procedures in a university hospital and examine the literature in terms of mesh erosion. METHOD: The electronic databases Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane were searched. Studies from January 2004 until January 2023 in the English language were included. Studies which included fewer than 10 patients were excluded. Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexies were included. Mesh erosion rates following laparoscopic or robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexies were measured. RESULTS: Overall, the systematic review presents 5911 patients from 43 studies who underwent laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy compared with 746 patients treated with robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy from six studies and our centre. Mesh erosion was rare in both groups; however, the prevalence was greater in the laparoscopy group (0.90% vs. 0.27%). CONCLUSION: The mesh erosion rates are very low with robotic-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy. For precise results, more studies and experience in robotic surgery are required.

RESUMO

AIM: The incidence of complex pelvic organ prolapse in female patients is about 38%, and this disorder entails social and sexual restrictions. Treatment for this disorder is complex because it can enhance other, latent, problems. The aim of the present study is to describe a new robotic-assisted technique to simultaneously treat prolapses of different compartments with the use of a single titanized polypropylene mesh. METHOD: All patients referred from January 2018 to March 2019 to the Proctologic and Pelvic Floor Clinical Centre who were affected by complex pelvic organ prolapse underwent modified robotic ventral rectopexy with a folded single mesh (RVR-FSM). The anatomical and functional outcomes were respectively evaluated using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) grading system and Wexner scores of constipation and incontinence. The satisfaction rate was investigated using a five-point scale (1 = not satisfied to 5 = extremely satisfied). RESULTS: Twenty-two women underwent RVR-FSM with a homogeneous follow-up of 12 months. The mean total operation time was 148 min, without any robot-related or other intraoperative complications. No mesh-related complications occurred. The POP-Q grade improved for every patient, with complete resolution of bulging symptoms in 21 patients (95.4%) at 1 year of follow-up. The Wexner constipation score showed a significant improvement, while the incontinence score slightly improved at 1 year after surgery. CONCLUSION: The use of a single mesh that can be folded was shown to provide significant improvement in functional and anatomical results associated with patient satisfaction. The robotic approach allows surgeons to perform an easier procedure with correct and deep mesh fixation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam is becoming increasingly popular for the treatment of symptomatic I-II or III degree haemorrhoidal disease (HD). However, there are no studies that have reported a follow-up of more than 1 year. The purpose of this study was to analyse the long-term outcomes of sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam in the treatment of II-degree HD. METHODS: This was an open label, single-arm, phase 2b trial conducted in 10 tertiary referral centres for HD. A total of 183 patients with II-degree HD, aged between 18 and 75 years with symptomatic HD according to the Goligher classification and unresponsive to medical treatment, were included in the study and underwent sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam. The efficacy was evaluated in terms of bleeding score, haemorrhoidal disease symptom score (HDSS) and short health scale for HD (SHS-HD) score. Successful treatment was defined as the complete absence of bleeding episodes after 7 days (T1) according to the bleeding score. RESULTS: The overall success rate ranged from 95.6% (175/183) at 1 year to 90.2% (165/183) after the final 3 year follow-up. The recurrence rate, based on the primary outcome, ranged from 12% (15/125) to 28% (35/125). The greatest increase in recurrence (15) was recorded between 12 and 18 months of follow-up, then another five between 18 and 24 months. Both the HDSS and the SHS score remained statistically significant (p < 0.001) from a median preoperative value of 11 (10-13) and 18 (15-20) to 0 (0-2) and 4 (0-4), respectively. Symptom-free (HDSS = 0) patients, excluding patients converted to surgery, increased from 55.5% (101/182) at 1 year to 65.1% at 3 years (110/169). There were no intraoperative complications in redo-sclerotherapy nor additional adverse events (AEs) compared to the first 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: Sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam is gradually establishing itself in the treatment of bleeding HD due to its repeatability, safety, convenience in terms of direct and indirect costs with the absence of discomfort for the patient as well as AEs rather than an excellent overall success rate.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery has gained popularity for the reconstruction of pelvic floor defects. Nonetheless, there is no evidence that robot-assisted reconstructive surgery is either appropriate or superior to standard laparoscopy for the performance of pelvic floor reconstructive procedures or that it is sustainable. The aim of this project was to address the proper role of robotic pelvic floor reconstructive procedures using expert opinion. METHODS: We set up an international, multidisciplinary group of 26 experts to participate in a Delphi process on robotics as applied to pelvic floor reconstructive surgery. The group comprised urogynecologists, urologists, and colorectal surgeons with long-term experience in the performance of pelvic floor reconstructive procedures and with the use of the robot, who were identified primarily based on peer-reviewed publications. Two rounds of the Delphi process were conducted. The first included 63 statements pertaining to surgeons' characteristics, general questions, indications, surgical technique, and future-oriented questions. A second round including 20 statements was used to reassess those statements where borderline agreement was obtained during the first round. The final step consisted of a face-to-face meeting with all participants to present and discuss the results of the analysis. RESULTS: The 26 experts agreed that robotics is a suitable indication for pelvic floor reconstructive surgery because of the significant technical advantages that it confers relative to standard laparoscopy. Experts considered these advantages particularly important for the execution of complex reconstructive procedures, although the benefits can be found also during less challenging cases. The experts considered the robot safe and effective for pelvic floor reconstruction and generally thought that the additional costs are offset by the increased surgical efficacy. CONCLUSION: Robotics is a suitable choice for pelvic reconstruction, but this Delphi initiative calls for more research to objectively assess the specific settings where robotic surgery would provide the most benefit.

RESUMO

AIM: Cloacal deformity is a disabling condition that severely affects a patient's quality of life. Surgery to repair cloacal deformity remains the mainstay of treatment. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and functional outcome of patients treated for traumatic cloacal deformity by three different techniques. METHOD: A retrospective multicentre study was carried out using data from women operated on for cloacal deformity between 2015 and 2019. Demographic characteristics, the presence of urinary and/or faecal incontinence and manometric findings were collected. The main outcome measures were represented by St Mark's and Rockwood faecal incontinence quality of life scores. RESULTS: Thirty eight women with a median age of 34 years [interquartile range (IQR) 31-39 years] were enrolled. Perineoplasty was performed in 23 patients by direct suture of the rectovaginal septum, in five using the X-flap and in 10 by the Singapore flap. Median resting and squeezing pressures increased significantly from 28.15 (IQR 23-32.7) cmH2 O to 45 (IQR 31-60.7) cmH2 O (p = 0.0001) and from 47 (IQR 41.2-54.7) cmH2 O to 97.2 (IQR 80-118) cmH2 O (p = 0.0001), respectively. Maximum tolerable volume improved from 120 (IQR 90-137.5) ml to 137.5 (IQR 120-150) ml (p = 0.002). The St Mark's score decreased from 18 (IQR 14-20) to 4.5 (IQR 2-8) after 20 months (p = 0001). Sexual activity was confirmed by 16 patients preoperatively and by 27 postoperatively. A diverting stoma was performed in three patients after X-flap perineoplasty and in 14 treated by direct closure. No significant differences were found pre- and postoperatively between the three groups. CONCLUSION: Regardless of the technique used, surgical repair significantly improves both clinical and functional outcomes irrespective of the presence of a covering stoma.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic hit Italy early and strongly, challenging the whole health care system. Proctological patients and surgeons are experiencing a previously unseen change in care with unknown repercussion. Here we discuss the proctological experience of 4 Italian hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Following remote brainstorming, the authors summarised their experience in managing proctological patients during the COVID-19 pandemics and put forward some practical observations to further investigate. RESULTS: The 4 hospitals shifted from a high-volume proctological activity to almost "zero" visits and surgery. Every patient accessing the hospital must respect a specific COVID-19 protocol. Proctological patients can be stratified based on presentation and management considerations into (1) neoplastic patients, the only allowed to be surgically treated, (2) the ones requiring urgent care, operated only in highly selected cases and (3) the stable, already known patients, managed remotely. Changes in the clinical management of the proctological disease are presented together with some considerations to be explored. CONCLUSIONS: In the absence of scientific evidence, these practical considerations may be valuable to proctological surgeons starting to face the COVID-19 pandemics. Beside the more clinical considerations, this crisis produced unexpected consequences such as an improvement of the therapeutic alliance and a shift towards telemedicine that may be worth exploring also in the post-COVID-19 era.

RESUMO

Purpose. Recently, the use of radiofrequency for hemorrhoidectomy has minimized incidence of postoperative complications. Effectiveness of LigaSure is demonstrated, but it is quite expensive. This study aims to compare LigaSure with Caiman, a cheaper instrument that uses radiofrequency for hemorrhoidectomy. Methods. A total of 35 patients were enrolled in this study between January 2015 and December 2017: 35 (Group A: Caiman) patients were matched with 35 control patients (Group B) from our historical cohort, treated with LigaSure. They were checked at 1 week after operation, at 4 weeks, and then after 2, 6, and 12 months. We considered different factors: intraoperative (operative time, number of piles removed, necessity of stiches or ligation), immediate postoperative (pain, bleeding within 4 weeks, incontinence, soiling within 4 weeks, healing time of anal wounds, return to working activities), and with a long-term follow-up. Results. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in analyzed intraoperative data: operative time (Group A 35 minutes vs Group B 33 minutes; P = .198) and stitches used. Postoperative data were comparable too, in particular pain (Group A 1 day Visual Analog Score = 6.25 vs Group B = 5.4, P = .178; Group A 1 week Visual Analog Score = 2.7 vs Group B = 1.14, P = .22) and bleeding (Group A = 2 vs Group B = 4; P = .2). Conclusions. According our initial experience, Caiman can be a safe and cheaper alternative to LigaSure for hemorrhoidectomy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The pelvic floor is considered as a single anatomical and functional unit, consisting of several structures that suspend the pelvic organs maintaining their function. For this reason, a multi-compartmental prolapse is a common disease that needs a multidisciplinary pelvic floor team in order to be treated. The aim of the authors is to suggest a treatment algorithm to better approach complex pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS: A multidisciplinary pelvic floor team was set up 7 years ago. Starting from the literature review integrated with a team experience, a decision-making algorithm was drawn up. It was used to guide all the shared treatment for the complex pelvic floor disorders. RESULTS: An accurate preoperative assessment with a shared diagnosis among the specialist is the base to follow the proposed algorithm. It leads to combine different surgical procedures considering advantages and disadvantages which may have an influence on the final outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed algorithm provides an integrated surgical view of complex pelvic floor disorders. It shows how is it feasible to associate surgical treatments of different compartments to obtain good pelvic floor anatomical and functional results and leading to an improvement of the patients' quality of life.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term outcomes of internal Delorme's procedure for treating obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) patients with impaired anal continence. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a retrospective study, 41 ODS patients who underwent internal Delorme's procedure between 2011 and 2015 were divided into 3 subgroups according to their associated symptoms of impaired continence, as urgency, passive fecal incontinence and both, before study. Then the patients' preoperative statuses, perioperative complications, and postoperative outcomes were investigated and collected from standardized questionnaires, including Altomare ODS score, Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI), Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAC-QoL), and Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (FIQLS). All results with a 2-tailed P < .05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: At an average 2.8 years of follow-up, there were significant improvements ( P < .01) in Altomare ODS score, FISI, PAC-QoL, and FIQLS in all patients when comparing scores from before the operation with those at the final follow-up. Similar results were also observed in both the urgency subgroup and passive fecal incontinence subgroup, but there were no statistically significant improvements ( P > .05) in Altomare ODS score, FISI, PAC-QoL, or FIQLS in the urgency and passive fecal incontinence subgroups. Anorectal manometry showed the mean value of anal resting pressure increased 20%. Additionally, no major complications occurred. CONCLUSION: Internal Delorme's procedure is effective without major morbidity for treating ODS associated with urgency or passive fecal incontinence, but it may be less effective for treating ODS associated with both urgency and passive fecal incontinence.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Persistent anal pain (PAP) after stapled procedures, be it hemorrhoidopexy (PPH) or stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) may be hardly resolved by medical therapy. The typical objective finding in these patients is the staple line characterized by fixed scar to underlying layers. METHODS: A total of 21 consecutive patients were operated for PAP after stapled procedure. The scarred staple line was excised and detached from layers below, the mucosal continuity reconstructed by single stitches. From January 2003 to December 2013 1500 patients underwent stapled procedure. Of these patients treated in our unit, 9 (0.6 %) were operated for chronic anal pain and 12 were referred to our center from other hospitals. RESULTS: Fifteen (71.4 %) patients resolved and do not take any drugs for pain; an overall of 85.7 % (18/21) improved their clinical status. Mean time between the beginning of symptoms and the operation was 4.27 months (range 1-18 months). We divided the patients into three groups: before 3 months, between 3 and 6 months and after 6 months from the beginning of symptoms to the operation. The best results were in the first group with 100 % pain relief and satisfactory functional results. CONCLUSIONS: The relief of PAP after stapled procedure, in which we recognize a scarred and fixed staple line, depends by the early recognition of this typical finding. The authors suggest the surgical treatment not later than 3-6 months after the onset of symptoms to achieve the best results.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess the safety, efficacy and feasibility of stapled transanal procedures performed by a new dedicated device, TST STARR Plus, for tailored transanal stapled surgery. METHODS: All the consecutive patients admitted to eight referral centres affected by prolapses with III-IV degrees haemorrhoids or obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) with rectocele and/or rectal intussusception that underwent stapled transanal resection with TST STARR plus were included in the present study. Haemostatic stitches for bleeding of the suture line, specimen volume, operative time, hospital stay and perioperative complications were recorded. RESULTS: From 1 November 2012 to 31 March 2013, 160 consecutive patients (96 females) were enrolled in the study. In 94 patients, the prolapse was over the half of the circular anal dilator (CAD). The mean duration of the procedure was 25 min. The mean resected volume of the specimen was 13.3 cm(3), the mean hospital stay was 2.2 days. In 88 patients (55%), additional stitches on the suture line were needed (mean 2.1). Suture line dehiscence was reported in four cases, with intraoperative reinforcement. Bleeding was reported in seven patients (5%). Urgency after 30 days was reported in one patient. No major complication occurred. CONCLUSIONS: The new device seems to be safe and effective for a tailored approach to anorectal prolapse due to haemorrhoids or obstructed defecation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Several studies show that stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) significantly improves constipation in most patients, while others remain symptomatic for obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). The aim of the study was to analyze clinical, manometric, and endoanal ultrasonography results in order to find any possible correlation between clinical and instrumental data, particularly in dissatisfied patients, both for those who remain symptomatic for ODS and for patients with new-onset fecal disorders. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients underwent a preoperative and postoperative assessment based on clinical evaluation, proctoscopy, defecography, anorectal manometry, and endoanal ultrasonography. Furthermore, we asked patients about a subjective satisfaction grading of outcome. RESULTS: From January 2007 to December 2009, 103 patients were treated in our department with STARR for ODS. Postoperative endoanal ultrasound did not demonstrate any variations compared with the preoperative one. Postoperative scores showed statistically significant improvement, with respect to the preoperative value, with good and sufficient scores in 79.6% of patients, and an overall rate of satisfaction of 87.1%. Fecal disorders, including also the slightest alteration of continence, occurred in 24% of patients, in particular soiling 1.8%, urgency 7.4%, occasional gas leakage 5.5%, and liquid/solid leakage 9.3%. Anorectal manometry revealed a statistically significant reduction only in sensitivity threshold and maximum tolerated volume compared to patients with no disorders of continence. CONCLUSION: Results indicate good satisfaction grading and a statistically significant improvement in scores of constipation. There is no close correlation between satisfaction grading and scores. Besides, the assessment of patient's satisfaction often does not match the objective functional outcome.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The study aimed to assess the long-term results of the stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) using high-volume devices equipped with innovative technology, evaluating recurrence rate, complications rate, and patients' satisfaction. METHODS: All the patients who underwent SH using high-volume devices (TST Starr plus, Touchstone International Medical Science Corp., Ltd.) for II to IV symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease from November 2012 to December 2014 were enrolled. Between December 2019 and January 2020, all of them were phone called to come to undergo a proctological reevaluation and asked to fill some questionnaires about hemorrhoidal prolapse recurrence, symptoms recurrence, and surgery satisfaction. RESULTS: Fifty-nine patients with a mean age of 47 years completely answered the questionnaires. Twenty-two of them accepted to come to undergo a proctological reevaluation while 27 preferred to answer only by phone due to their referred wellbeing. The median follow-up was 70.5 months (range, 60-84 months). The recurrence rate was 5.1% with a mean satisfaction level after surgery was 9.1 (range, 0-10) and 84.7% of patients whose satisfaction scored ≥8. The mean value of Cleveland Global Quality of Life assessment was 0.79 (range, 0.71-0.93). There were no cases of new onset of impaired anal continence after surgery. CONCLUSION: The new generation high-volume devices to perform SH resulted to be safe and effective for II to IV degree hemorrhoidal prolapse leading to a lower long-term recurrence rate with an evident reduction of postoperative complications in comparison with the low-volume SH.

RESUMO

Perirectal hematoma (PH) is one of the most feared complications of stapling procedures. Literature reviews have reported only a few works on PH, most of them describing isolated treatment approaches and severe outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyze a homogenous case series of PH and to define a treatment algorithm for huge postoperative PHs. A retrospective analysis of a prospective database of three high-volume proctology units was performed between 2008 and 2018, and all PH cases were analyzed. In all, 3058 patients underwent stapling procedures for hemorrhoidal disease or obstructed defecation syndrome with internal prolapse. Among these, 14 (0.46%) large PH cases were reported, and 12 of these hematomas were stable and treated conservatively (antibiotics and CT/laboratory test monitoring); most of them were resolved with spontaneous drainage. Two patients with progressive PH (signs of active bleeding and peritonism) were submitted to CT and arteriography to evaluate the source of bleeding, which was subsequently closed by embolization. This approach helped ensure that no patients with PH were referred for major abdominal surgery. Most PH cases are stable and treatable with a conservative approach, evolving with self-drainage. Progressive hematomas are rare and should undergo angiography with embolization to minimize the possibility of major surgery and severe complications.
