ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (SH) has resulted in a unique collection of procedural complications with postoperative mucocele a particularly rare example. This study is designed to comprehensively describe the characteristics of rectal mucocele and discuss its pathogenesis following SH surgery.METHODS:
A database of patients presenting with a rectal mucocele following an SH procedure was established and studied retrospectively.RESULTS:
Seven patients (5 males; median age 32 years, range 20-75 years) were identified. All patients complained of variable anal discomfort with 5/7 presenting with inconstant anal pain, 2 with de novo evacuatory difficulty. These cases appeared at a median time of 6 months (range 2-84 months) after SH surgery.CONCLUSION:
Rectal Mucocele develops when mucosal fragments become embedded and isolated under the mucosa. It is a preventable complication of SH surgery by ensuring correct purse string placement prior to stapled haemorrhoid excision.Palavras-chave
