RESUMO
The adenomatous lesions, which could be benign or malignant, have been described in the duodenum and along the duodenal ampulla in individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) post-colectomy, along with other extracolonic manifestations. To our best knowledge, we present a unique case of the involvement of the accessory duodenal ampulla in a patient who had undergone colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis with an established diagnosis of FAP. During the endoscopic examination, the patient was found to have adenomatous growth in the accessory duodenal ampulla, which was successfully removed via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). To prevent pancreatitis, a temporary plastic stent was inserted and successfully removed three weeks later.
RESUMO
The efficacy of many non-surgical treatments for Peyronie's disease is unclear. This systematic review aims to critically assess the currently available options and provide a recommendation for treatment based on this. A systematic literature search utilising the Medline (Pubmed), Embase, global health and Cochrane library databases was conducted up to May 2021. All randomised controlled trials assessing non-surgical treatment modalities for Peyronie's Disease were included. Individual study risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane tool and GRADE was used to assess evidence strength. Outcome measures were the change in penile curvature (degrees), plaque size (volume or size), International Index of Erectile Function score, pain scores and change in penile length. Prospero registration number: CRD42017064618. Amongst the 5549 articles identified, 41 studies (42 reports) were included. Seven different oral treatment options including vitamin E supplementation showed evidence for improving outcomes such as penile curvature and plaque size. Of the intralesional treatments, Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum showed evidence for improving penile curvature (Range: 16.3-17 degrees, moderate level certainty of evidence). Intralesional Interferon demonstrated some improvement in curvature (Range: 12-13.5 degrees), plaque size (Range: 1.67-2.2 cm2) and pain, whilst intralesional calcium channel blockers such as Verapamil showed variable evidence for changes in the plaque size and pain. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy consistently demonstrated evidence for improving penile pain in stable disease, and two mechanical traction devices improved curvature. Iontophoresis, topical medications, and combination therapies did not demonstrate any consistent improvements in outcome measures. Intralesional options demonstrate the best potential. Overall, results varied with few high-quality randomised trials present.
