RESUMEN
ABSTRACT Background: Fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease poses a treatment challenge, and researchers postulate that this phenotype in young male patients could have a worst outcome. Objective: Thus, the aim of this study was to assess whether sex influences the response to treatment for these patients. Methods: This systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42022319629) was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol. We selected articles published in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian between 2010 and 2020 in the PubMed and Science Direct databases. According to the PICO acronym, prospective studies in patients older than 18 years with the objective of treating fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease were selected. Studies in pediatric populations, retrospective, without treatment objectives, and that included only rectovaginal fistulas or a single sex were excluded. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Of the 1887 articles found, 33 were included. Most studies used anti-TNF drugs as treatment (n=11). Ten studies had subgroup analyses; of them, the two studies reporting sex differences used infliximab and adalimumab as treatment and showed that women had a longer fistula closure time than men. Conclusion: This systematic review showed that few data corroborate the difference between sexes in the treatment of fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease, possibly having a greater relationship with the phenotype. However, considering the lack of results, further studies with this objective and with standardization of fistulas and response assessment methods are needed.
RESUMO Contexto: A doença de Crohn perianal fistulizante representa um desafio de tratamento, e postula-se que esse fenótipo em pacientes jovens do sexo masculino poderia ter um pior resultado. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se o sexo influencia a resposta ao tratamento desses pacientes. Métodos: Esta revisão sistemática (PROSPERO CRD42022319629) foi conduzida de acordo com o protocolo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Foram selecionados artigos publicados em inglês, espanhol, português e italiano entre 2010 e 2020 nas bases de dados PubMed e Science Direct. De acordo com o acrônimo PICO, foram selecionados estudos prospectivos em pacientes maiores de 18 anos com objetivo de tratamento da doença de Crohn perianal fistulizante. Foram excluídos estudos em populações pediátricas, retrospectivos, sem objetivos de tratamento e que incluíssem apenas fístulas retovaginais ou um único sexo. A qualidade dos estudos foi avaliada usando a ferramenta de risco de viés Cochrane e a escala Newcastle-Ottawa. Resultados: Dos 1.887 artigos encontrados, 33 foram incluídos. A maioria dos estudos utilizou medicamentos anti-TNF como tratamento (n=11). Dez estudos tiveram análises de subgrupos; deles, os dois estudos que relataram diferenças entre os sexos usaram infliximabe e adalimumabe como tratamento e mostraram que as mulheres tiveram um tempo de fechamento da fístula maior que os homens. Conclusão: Esta revisão sistemática mostrou que poucos dados corroboram a diferença entre os sexos no tratamento da doença de Crohn perianal fistulizante, possivelmente tendo maior relação com o fenótipo. Porém, dada à falta de resultados, são necessários mais estudos com esse objetivo e com padronização das fístulas e métodos de avaliação da resposta.
RESUMEN
Introducción: La enfermedad de Crohn (EC) perianal fistulizante es un fenotipo de mal pronóstico. No existen estudios en nuestro medio. Nuestro objetivo es determinar las características clínicas, sociodemográficas y el tratamiento de la EC perianal fistulizante en un registro multicéntrico colombiano. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional multicéntrico, retrospectivo, con recolección prospectiva de la información, en los principales centros de referencia de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) del país. Las variables continuas se expresaron como medianas y rangos intercuartílicos. Las variables de resultado categóricas fueron comparados por la prueba de Chi-cuadrado. Resultados: Se documentaron 65 pacientes con EC perianal fistulizante, con una mediana de edad de aparición de fistula perianal de 31,0 años (rango: 24-42), predominando en hombres (61,5%; razón H:M: 1,4:1). Las fístulas perianales complejas fueron más frecuentes que las simples (75,35 vs. 24,6%). En cuanto al tratamiento médico, el 66,2% de los pacientes recibieron antibióticos, el 64,6% esteroides, el 78,5% terapia biológica, el 47,7% setones no cortantes y el 46,2% requirieron manejo quirúrgico, diferente a la colocación de setones. En solo el 29,2% se logró remisión completa de la fístula, y el 9,2% de los pacientes terminaron en colostomía definitiva. Los pacientes con EC con fístulas complejas recibieron más terapia biológica comparado con pacientes con EC y fístulas simples (84,8 vs. 56,3%; p: 0,038). Conclusiones: La EC perianal fistulizante es de mal pronóstico en nuestro medio, solo 3 de cada 10 pacientes logran la remisión completa a pesar del tratamiento. Un manejo multidisciplinario es fundamental para el manejo integral de esta difícil enfermedad.(AU)
Introduction: Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (CD) is a phenotype with a poor prognosis. There are no studies in our country. Our objective is to determine the clinical, sociodemographic and treatment characteristics of perianal fistulizing CD in a Colombian multicenter registry. Materials and methods: A retrospective, multicenter observational study was carried out, with prospective data collection, in the main reference centers for inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD) in the country. Continuous variables were expressed as medians and interquartile ranges. The categorical outcome variables were compared by the Chi-square test. Results: Sixty-five patients with perianal fistulizing CD were documented, with a median age of appearance of perianal fistula of 31.0 years (range: 24-42), predominantly in men (61.5%; H:M ratio: 1.4:1). Complex perianal fistulas were more frequent than simple ones (75.35 vs. 24.6%). Regarding medical treatment, 66.2% of the patients received antibiotics, 64.6% steroids, 78.5% biological therapy, 47.7% non-cutting setons, and 46.2% required surgical management, other than seton placement. Only 29.2% achieved complete remission of the fistula, and 9.2% of the patients ended up in a definitive colostomy. CD patients with complex fistulas received more biological therapy, compared to CD patients with simple fistulas (84.8 vs. 56.3%; P: 0.038). Conclusions: Perianal fistulizing CD has a poor prognosis in our setting, only 3 out of 10 patients achieve complete remission despite treatment. A multidisciplinary management is essential for the comprehensive management of this difficult pathology.(AU)

Introducción: Las fístulas perianales complejas siguen siendo un auténtico desafío terapéutico en nuestros días, dada la ausencia de una terapia universal y los resultados a largo plazo, ya que el porcentaje de complicaciones o recidivas no es desdeñable. Entre las opciones terapéuticas encontramos los tapones biológicos, siendo respetuosos con los esfínteres, pero con resultados dispares. Objetivos: Evaluar los resultados a largo plazo tras la colocación de un tapón de colágeno piramidal en dos pacientes con fístula perianal compleja. Materiales y Método: Se presentan 2 pacientes con fístula perianal compleja intervenidos mediante colocación de tapón biológico cumpliendo estrictos criterios de inclusión. Discusión: Dentro del arsenal terapéutico disponible actualmente, los tapones biológicos prometen una solución definitiva para determinadas fístulas perianales, evitando una posible incontinencia. Con resultados dispares en la bibliografía, en nuestros dos casos los pacientes han evolucionado de forma excelente, con resolución completa de la enfermedad fistulosa sin complicaciones ni recidiva a largo plazo. Conclusiones: Dados los excepcionales resultados obtenidos en nuestros dos primeros casos con este tipo de tapón, nos planteamos si la morfología del mismo puede ser determinante en su éxito.
Introduction: Complex perianal fistulas continue to be a real therapeutic challenge today, given the absence of universal therapy and long-term results, since the percentage of complications or recurrences is not negligible. Among the therapeutic options we find biological plugs, being respectful with the sphincters but with disparate results. Aim: To evaluate the long-term results after the placement of a pyramidal collagen plug in two patients with complex perianal fistula. Materials and Method: We present two patients with complex perianal fistula who were operated on by placing a biological plug, meeting strict inclusion criteria. Discussion: Within the therapeutic arsenal currently available, biological plugs promise a definitive solution for certain perianal fistulas, avoiding possible incontinence. With different results in the literature, in our two cases the patients have evolved excellently, with complete resolution of the fistulous disease without complications or long-term recurrence. Conclusions: Considering the exceptional results obtained in our first two cases with this type of plug, we wonder if its morphology can be a determining factor in its success.

AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate urgent care practice with regard to anorectal abscesses (AA) in a tertiary-level referral hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: this was retrospective and unicentric study. Patients who underwent surgery for AA between 2016 and 2017 were included in the study. Demographic variables were analyzed as well as the treatment performed, the need for hospitalization, use of antibiotics, and referral to the coloproctology outpatient department (COD). The recurrence risk factors were also evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 220 evaluations under anesthesia were performed, corresponding to 190 patients, 129 males (mean age 46 ± 14.9 years). The most frequent treatment in the emergency department (ED) was simple drainage (75.8%). Antibiotic therapy was prescribed in 62.9% of the cases. A total of 41.1% of the patients were referred to a specialized COD. The only risk factor associated with recurrence was the presence of an associated anal fistula. CONCLUSIONS: Anorectal abscesses are very frequent in the ED. There is great clinical variability regarding the taking of cultures, prescription of antibiotics, and referral criteria to a specialized coloproctology outpatient department, without clear impact of any of them on the recurrence of the abscess.
OBJETIVO: Evaluar el manejo de los abscesos perianales por parte del servicio de cirugía de urgencias. MÉTODO: Estudio unicéntrico retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes que requirieron manejo quirúrgico de abscesos perianales de 2016 a 2017. Se analizaron variables demográficas, tratamientos realizados, necesidad de ingreso hospitalario, uso de antibióticos y necesidad de derivación a la consulta externa de coloproctología. Así mismo, se evaluaron los factores relacionados con la recurrencia del absceso. RESULTADOS: Durante el periodo de estudio se realizaron 220 exploraciones, correspondientes a 190 pacientes (129 hombres) con una edad media de 46 ± 14.9 años. El tratamiento quirúrgico más frecuentemente realizado fue el drenaje simple (75.8%). Se prescribieron antibióticos en el 62.9% de los casos. El 41.1% de los pacientes fueron remitidos a consulta externa de coloproctología. El único factor de riesgo asociado a la recurrencia fue la presencia de una fístula perianal asociada. CONCLUSIONES: Los abscesos perianales son frecuentes en los servicios de urgencias. Hay una gran variabilidad clínica en su manejo, sobre todo en lo relativo a la realización de cultivos, la prescripción de antibióticos y la derivación a unidades de coloproctología especializadas, sin que ninguna de estas medidas tenga un claro impacto en la recurrencia.

Introducción: El tratamiento de las fístulas perianales sigue en la actualidad siendo controvertido, ya que aún no existe una técnica con baja tasa de recidiva, baja morbilidad y escasa o nula alteración de la continencia. Dentro de las técnicas "sphincter sparing", el tratamiento video asistido del trayecto fistuloso (VAAFT) aparece como una técnica con resultados promisorios. Objetivos: Evaluar la experiencia de 25 pacientes con fístulas perianales tratados con VAAFT. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo observacional. Pacientes portadores de fístulas criptoglandulares. Anatómicamente 15 eran transesfintéricas altas, 3 transesfintericas bajas y 7 interesfintéricas altas. Todos los pacientes tenían trayectos crónicos (más de un año de evolución). 20 pacientes ya tenían realizadas cirugías previas de su fístula, todos con sedal cortante. Cuatro de estos pacientes presentaban incontinencia a gases. Resultados: Entre Mayo 2016 y Abril 2018, se operaron 25 pacientes, 20 del sexo masculino y 5 del sexo femenino. A todos ellos se les realizó en el preoperatorio ecografía endoanal con traductor de 360° y manometría ano-rectal. A todos se les realizó interrogatorio sobre el estado de su continencia. En todos los pacientes se realizó el procedimiento según técnica descripta por Meinero con alguna modificación. En 3 pacientes no se logró identificar el orificio interno. En 4 pacientes el cierre del mismo se hizo con surget de PDS, en 3 se realizó algún tipo de colgajo (mucoso, locking flap) y en 15 pacientes se utilizó suturas mecánicas lineales de 45 mm. En 3 pacientes se agregó al VAAFT procedimiento LIFT. Tres pacientes tuvieron recidiva y 5 recurrencia. Se tomó como recurrencia a la supuración por orificio externo y/o ano más allá del cuarto mes posoperatorio, mientras que se clasificó como recidiva a aquellos pacientes que tuvieron más de seis meses sin supuración luego del cierre del orificio externo y posteriormente volvieron a supurar. No se perdió ningún paciente en el seguimiento postoperatorio. No se identificaron alteraciones de la continencia posteriores al tratamiento ni empeoramiento de aquellos que tenían incontinencia a gases. Las complicaciones fueron 4 abscesos en la zona del trayecto fistuloso que drenaron espontáneamente y 1 edema perineal por infiltración con glicina por ruptura del trayecto fístuloso. Conclusión: El procedimiento VAAFT demostró ser una técnica segura con las ventajas de ser mínimamente invasiva y la única bajo visión directa. (AU)
Introduction: The treatment of perianal fistulas is still controversial. Actually, there is no surgical technique with low recurrence rate, low morbidity and no alteration of continence. Between the "sphincter sparing techniques", the Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) appears as a technique with promising results. Objectives: Evaluate the experience of 25 patients with perianal fistulas treated with VAAFT. Methods: observational retrospective study. Patients with cryptoglandular fistulas. Anatomically 15 were high transphincteric fistulas, 3 low transphincteric fistulas and seven high intersphincteric. 20 of them had previous surgeries with cutting seton. Results: Between May 2016 and April 2018, 25 patients with fistula -in-ano were operated with VAAFT, 20 male and 5 female. Everyone underwent 360° endorectal ultrasound and rectal manometry before the procedure, wich was performed according to the technique describe by Meinero with some modifications. The closure of the internal orifice was performed with PDS surget in 4 cases, whereas 3 patients needed a mucosal advance flap and in 15 cases a 45 mm stapler was used. In 3 patients the internal orifice was not identified. The follow-up was for 2 years. The complications were four abscesses in the area of the fistulous tract, that drained spontaneously and one perineal edema due to infiltration with glycine due to rupture of the fistulous tract. Conclusion: The VAAFT procedure proved to be a safe technique with the advantages of the minimally-invasive techniques. Besides is the only technique under direct vision. (AU)

OBJECTIVE: To study the multidisciplinary management of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and perianal disease (perianal Crohn's disease, PCD), as well as to analyse a possible relationship between the recurrence of perianal symptoms, the type of fistula and the treatment used. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Descriptive, retrospective study of patients with PCD who were treated in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit. Epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic variables were collected, as well as clinical outcome and response to treatment. RESULTS: Of the 300 patients who attended the outpatient clinic at a university hospital, 65 had PCD. Sixteen simple fistulas (24.6%) and 49 complex fistulas (75.4%) were diagnosed. The most commonly used diagnostic technique was the endoanal ultrasound (45%). Antibiotics were used in 77.4% of patients, and 70% needed anti-TNF therapy to manage the PCD. Surgery was performed on 75.4% of the patients overall. PCD recurred in 41.5% of cases, requiring a change of the biological drugs administered and/or surgery. Complex fistulas were more likely to require surgery (P=.012) and recurrence of PCD was also more common with complex fistulas (P=.036). CONCLUSION: Management of PCD must be multidisciplinary and combined. Most patients with complex PCD require treatment based on biological drugs. Despite therapy, remission of perianal symptoms is not achieved in a percentage of patients, supporting the need to develop new therapies for refractory cases.

Abstract Introduction Perianal fistula is a condition commonly found in surgical practice, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 10,000 individuals, with a predisposition for the male gender, occurring mainly in patients between 30 and 50 years and in 80% of the cases originating from infection in the glandular crypts (cryptoglandular). Objective To perform a retrospective analysis using electronic medical record data of patients submitted to surgical treatment for perianal fistula in Santa Marcelina Hospital in São Paulo, as well as to verify the incidence of relapse and anal continence disorders, in addition to the complexity and types of fistulas and patient characterization. Results Two hundred patients were submitted to surgical treatment of perianal fistula were analyzed. Among men, there was a higher incidence of patients with lower educational level (p = 0.02), hypertension (0.03), diabetes (0.05), older age (p = 0.001), whereas among women previous perianal abscess predominated (0.001). There was no statistical difference in anal continence between patients submitted to fistulotomy with or without seton. Conclusion We observed a predominance of male patients and a low incidence of recurrence and symptoms of anal continence disorders, in addition to a predominance of complex fistulas.
Resumo Introdução Fístula perianal é uma condição comumente encontrada na prática cirúrgica com incidência de cerca 1 em 10000 indivíduos com predisposição para o sexo masculino, ocorrendo fundamentalmente em pacientes entre 30 e 50 anos e em 80% dos casos tem origem em infecção nas criptas glandulares (criptoglandular). Objetivo Realizar análise retrospectiva através de dados de prontuário eletrônico de pacientes submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de fístula perianal no Hospital Santa Marcelina São Paulo, além de verificar a incidência de recidiva e desordens da continência anal, além da complexidade e tipos das fístulas e caracterização dos pacientes. Resultados Duzentos pacientes foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de fístula perianal. Entre os homens houve maior incidência de pacientes com menor escolaridade (p = 0,02), hipertensos (0,03), diabéticos (0,05), maior idade (p = 0,001) e nas mulheres predominou abscesso perianal prévio (p = 0,001). Não houve diferença estatística na continência anal entre os pacientes submetidos a fistulotomia com ou sem sedenho. Conclusão Verifica-se predomínio de pacientes do sexo masculino e uma baixa incidência de recidiva e sintomas de desordens da continência anal, além de um predomínio de fístulas complexas.

INTRODUCTION: The PICS-AF™ (Curaseal Inc.) device is a new plug made of collagen that has a retention system in the internal orifice. This pilot study was designed to assess both the feasibility and safety of this plug in the treatment of trans-sphincteric anal fístulas. METHODS: A total of 44 patients (34 men), with a mean age of 54.68±7.3, with trans-sphincteric anal fístulas were included in the study; 34 of them were analyzed. All patients were examined according to a strict preoperative protocol and until 6 months after surgery. The feasibility of the procedure and the adverse events were analyzed. RESULTS: Finally, 34 patients were operated on, and in 30 of them the plug was used. Therefore, the feasibility was calculated at 88%. There was a total of 16 adverse events, 4recorded as not related (3 mild and one moderate) and 12 related to the procedure or to the device implanted. Of these, 5were mild, 5moderate and 2severe. The majority of the events reported were related to proctalgia (4 patients) or infection at the implant site (4 patients). CONCLUSIONS: The present study indicates that the new collagen plug can be placed effectively and with an acceptable complication rate.

ABSTRACT Seton for treatment of perianal fistula can be of the cutting or a loose type. We adopted a simple technique for tighten the seton by applying a necktie shape tie on the vascular loop, hence it can be used for drainage on the beginning, and for cutting purpose later on. In this retrospective study we report our experience on this seton tie method. Material and methods: Patients operated for perianal fistula between 2012 and 2014 were reviewed. Results: Of 63 patients operated, 23 (35%) had a necktie-tie seton. There were 15 (65%) men. Age 34.1 ± 10.6. Six (26%) had a recurrent fistula, 2 (9%) with loose seton in place. The external opening: anterior four (17%), lateral fifteen (65%), posterior three (13%), one patient (4%) had two opening. The internal opening was identified: posterior seventeen (74%), anterior four (17%) and right posterior two (8%). Nineteen (82%) had a trans-sphenteric tract, four (17%) females had an anterior location. Operative time was 32 min (range 22-55). The seton was tightened 4 times (range 2-5) with 2 weeks interval. Healing was achieved in 7 weeks (range 5-11). In 24 months (range 12-35) follow-up, no reported anal incontinence. Recurrence was observed in one patient (4%). Conclusion: The necktie tightening of the vascular loop seton is a simple, safe, easily performed and may simplify the seton management of perianal fistulae.
RESUMO Setons para o tratamento de fístula perianal podem ser do tipo de corte ou do tipo frouxo. Adotamos uma técnica simples para apertar o seton, pela aplicação, na alça vascular, de uma laçada em forma de nó de gravata. Desse modo, inicialmente a laçada pode ser utilizada para drenagem e, subsequentemente, para as finalidades de corte. Neste estudo retrospectivo, relatamos nossa experiência com este método de aplicação da laçada do Seton em nó de gravata. Material e métodos: Foram revisados pacientes operados para fístula perianal entre 2012-2014. Resultados: Dos 63 pacientes operados, 23 (35%) receberam um Seton em nó de gravata. Desse total, 15 (65%) eram homens, com média de idade de 34,1 ± 10,6 anos. Seis (26%) tiveram fístula recorrente, e dois (9%) tiveram afrouxamento do seton in loco. Foram identificadas aberturas externas: anteriores, quatro (17%); laterais, 15 (65%); posteriores, três (13%); e duas aberturas em um paciente (4%). Também foram identificadas aberturas internas: posteriores, 17 (74%); anteriores, quatro (17%); e posteriores direitas, duas (8%). Em 19 (82%) havia um trato trans-esfinctérico, e quatro pacientes mulheres (17%) tiveram localização anterior. O tempo de cirurgia foi de 32 minutos (variação, 22-55). O seton foi apertado 4 vezes (variação, 2-5) a intervalos de 2 semanas. A cicatrização ocorreu em sete semanas (variação, 5-11). Ao longo dos 24 meses (variação, 12-35) de seguimento dos pacientes, não houve relato de incontinência anal. Houve recorrência em um paciente (4%). Conclusão: O aperto do Seton em alça vascular pela técnica do nó de gravata é método simples, seguro, de fácil realização e que pode simplificar o tratamento de fístulas perianais com Seton.

Introduction: The fistulizing form of Crohn's disease (CD) represents a great challenge regarding treatment, especially perianal fistulas, for its high prevalence. Objective: To assess factors related to the response to surgical treatment associated with anti-TNF inpatients with CD and perianal fistulas. Method: Retrospective study of patients with CD and perianal fistulas who used IFX or ADA in association with surgical treatment. Results: 30 patients with a mean age of 35 years were studied; 16 were treated with ADA (9 ADA + AZA) and 14 with IFX (10 IFX + AZA); ten of those treated with ADA responded, and of the six non-respondents, only one responded to IFX; eight responded to IFX, and among those non-respondents, no one showed response with ADA; among the respondents, there were 10 men and nine women; of those non-respondents, eight were men and 3 women; of those under 40 years, 16 responded compared with only three non-respondents; of those over 40 years, three responded versus eight non-respondents; as to the time elapsed between the onset of the disease and the beginning of anti-TNF, 14 (<2 years), one (2-5 years) and four (>5 years) responded, and five (<2 years), four (2-5 years) and two (>5 years) were non-respondents. Conclusion: There was no difference in response between the anti-TNF agents used; a better response was noted in those who used anti-TNF in combination with azathioprine, among women, in those under 40 years and in those treated within two years of the onset of the disease.

Background: Perianal fistula (PF) may be present in 40 percent of patients with Crohn´s Disease (CD). Due to its complexity, its management should be multidisciplinary. Purpose: To describe clinical treatment in patients with CD and PF in our institution. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive retroprospective study, using a registry of CD patients. We selected patients with PF and further characterized those patients that received their treatment at Clínica las Condes (CLC). Results: From a total of 74 patients with CD in the registry, 23 (31 percent) had PF, 61 percent male, median of 7 years of disease and half with colonic extension. Twelve patients were treated in CLC, from these, seven had concomitant proctitis. Optimal diagnostic study (magnetic resonance imaging/endorectal ultrasound plus examination under anesthetic) was performed in eleven (92 percent) patients. Ten (83 percent) patients received an optimal treatment (drainage and installation of a loose seton + start or optimization of medical therapy). Complete clinical response was achieved in more than half of the patients under optimal treatment within the first 6 months. Six (50 percent) patients had one or more recurrences of PF with similar study and management in a median of 13 months. With a median follow-up of 29 months, eight out of 12 patients had complete clinical response. There was one patient with unfavorable course who required a proctectomy and terminal diversion. Conclusion: Treatment of PF in CD is complex and in our population, the first-line treatment includes the installation of a loose seton and medical therapy to achieve clinical response even though fistulous tracts may persist.
Introducción: La fístula perianal (FP) puede presentarse hasta en 40 por ciento de los pacientes con Enfermedad de Crohn (EC). Dada su complejidad el tratamiento debe ser multidisciplinario. Objetivo: Describir el tratamiento de los pacientes portadores de EC con FP. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, utilizando un registro de pacientes con EC. Se seleccionaron los pacientes con FP y se caracterizaron aquellos que recibieron el tratamiento en Clínica Las Condes (CLC). Resultados: De un total de 74 pacientes con EC, 23 (31 por ciento) presentaban FP asociada, 61 por ciento de sexo masculino, mediana de duración de enfermedad 7 años y la mitad con extensión colónica. Doce pacientes fueron tratados en CLC, de ellos, siete presentaban proctitis al momento de la FP. En 11 (92 por ciento) pacientes se realizó un estudio diagnóstico óptimo (resonancia magnética/ endosonografía transrrectal y exploración bajo anestesia). Diez (83 por ciento) pacientes recibieron tratamiento óptimo biasociado (drenaje e instalación de sedal no cortante + inicio u optimización de terapia médica). Siete pacientes con tratamiento óptimo presentaron mejoría clínica completa dentro de los primeros 6 meses. Seis (50 por ciento) pacientes presentaron una o más recurrencia de FP con estudio y manejo similar en una mediana de 13 meses. Con una mediana de seguimiento de 29 meses, ocho de los 12 pacientes obtuvieron mejoría clínica completa. Una paciente evolucionó desfavorablemente, requiriendo proctectomía y ostomía terminal. Conclusión: El manejo del FP en EC es complejo, en nuestra población el tratamiento biasociado (sedal + fármacos) fue de elección para lograr una mejoría clínica aun cuando persistieron los trayectos fistulosos.

Antecedentes: desde que en 1989 Law y Bartram publicaran su primer trabajo sobre las fístulas perianales y su identificación por ultrasonido con un transductor rotatorio, la ecografía endoanal de 360º se ha revelado como una herramienta esencial en el estudio de la patología del canal anal y del recto, habiendo contribuido enormemente tanto en el diagnóstico como en la orientación terapéutica. Objetivo: comunicar nuestra experiencia en el diagnóstico de fístulas perianales con ecografía endoanal de 360º, y su correlación con el hallazgo quirúrgico. Pacientes y Métodos: entre Noviembre de 2010 y Octubre de 2012 se realizaron 168 estudios con diagnóstico de fístula perianal. Las variables analizadas fueron: 1) localización del trayecto por cuadrante; 2) localización según clasificación de Parks; 3) detección del orificio interno; 4) detección de patología asociada. Resultados: Localización por cuadrantes, se informó en todos de los casos. Localización según clasificación de Parks: 138 interesfintéricas (82,1%), 16 transesfintéricas (9,5%), 1 supraesfintérica (0,5%) y 1 extraesfintérica (0,5%). Se localizó el orificio interno fistuloso en 140 pacientes (83,33%). En cuanto a la correlación con la cirugía: en 103 casos (95,37%) informó la localización del orificio interno fistuloso. 1) 100% de concordancia en localización por cuadrantes, 2) localización según Parks acuerdo en 73 pacientes (67,6%),3) localización del orificio interno: correlación en 91 pacientes (88,34%). Conclusiones: la ecografía endoanal con transductor rotatorio de 360º es un método eficaz, accesible, barato, inocuo y casi sin contraindicaciones. Presenta alta tasa de detección del orificio interno fistuloso y podría ser muy útil en el planeamiento quirúrgico de una patología benigna difícil de tratar como la fístula perianal.
Background: since 1989 when Dr. Law and Bartman published their first article about fistula-in-ano and the diagnosis with a rotator ultrasound probe, the 360° endoanal ultrasonography has become an essential tool in the study of the rectum and the anal canal pathology, having contributed enormously in both the diagnosis and the therapeutic decisions. Purpose: to communicate our experience in diagnosis of fistula-in-ano with 360° endoanal US and its correlation with intraoperative findings. Patients and Methods: we analyzed 168 cases of perianal fistula diagnosed between November 2010 and October 2012. The analyzed variables in the first part of the study were: 1) quadrant localization of the fistula track/s; 2) localization according to Parks classification; 3) localization of the internal opening. The intraoperative results analized: 1) quadrant localization; 2) localization according to Parks classification; 3) localization of the internal opening. Results: 1) quadrant localization: achieved in all patients studied (100%). 2) Parks classification 138 inter-sphinteric (82,1%), 16 transphinteric (9,5%), 1 suprasphinteric (0,5%) and 1 extrasphinteric (0,5%). 3) we diagnosed the internal opening in 140 cases (83,33%). Correlation between US and surgery: 108 (64,28%) patiens have underwent surgical treatment. From them, we diagnosed in 103 cases (95.37%) the internal opening. 1) quadrant localization: 100% concordance between US and surgery, 2) Parks classification concordance achieved in 73 patients (76,6%), 3) localization of the internal opening correlation in 91 cases (88,34%). Conclusions: the 360° endoanal US with rotatory probe is an effective, accessible, low-cost, harmless, and rarely contraindicated method. It has a high rate of success identifying the internal opening and could become very usefull for planning the surgical strategy of a benign pathology difficult to treat as the fistula-in-ano.

A doença de Crohn é uma doença inflamatória intestinal crônica com inflamação transmural segmentar, que pode complicar com formação de fístulas e abscessos. A hidradenite supurativa (HS) é caracterizada por abscessos recorrentes e dolorosos, com predileção por áreas ricas em glândulas apócrinas como as regiões axilares, inguinais e perineal. O diagnóstico diferencial entre estas doenças é difícil e pode comprometer o tratamento. Relatamos o caso de C.R.M.A., 40 anos, feminina, branca, com doença de Crohn íleocolônica com fístula perianal e retovaginal há 12 anos, em terapia biológica desde maio 2010. Em setembro de 2010 apresentou abscesso em glúteo direito com saída de secreção purulenta refratária ao uso de ciprofloxacino e metronidazol. Ultrassonografia apresentando coleção de 30 cm3 em região glútea direita. A hipótese diagnóstica foi HS e a paciente foi submetida à ressecção cirúrgica em bloco (10 x 2 cm), com cicatrização por segunda intenção. Realizou enxerto de pele em dezembro de 2010 sem sucesso. Retornou em janeiro de 2011 com nova fístula no local da ressecção, compatível com doença de Crohn. Em fevereiro de 2011 foi submetida à drenagem dos abscessos e colocação de setons nas fístulas perianais. Atualmente em terapia biológica, com boa evolução das fístulas. A prevalência da HS varia de 0,3 a 4% da população em geral. A axila é a região mais afetada e as lesões perianais estão associadas com maior debilidade. Há relatos na literatura de associação entre a HS e a doença de Crohn de forma esporádica, e novos estudos são necessários para avaliar uma patogênese em comum. O diagnóstico diferencial deve ser realizado em todos os casos para tratamento imediato, evitando-se, assim, as complicações e a piora da qualidade de vida do doente.
Crohn?s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with segmental transmural inflammation, which complicate with formation of fistulas and abscesses. The hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is characterized by recurrent abscesses, with a predilection for areas rich in apocrine glands such as the axillary, inguinal and perineal. The differential diagnosis between these diseases is difficult and may compromise treatment. Report case: C.R.M.A., 40 year-old, female, white, ileal and colonic Crohn?s disease complicated with perianal and rectovaginal fistula for 12 years, treated with biological therapy since May 2010. In Sep/2010 presented with an abscess in the buttock D with purulent discharge refractory to the use of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole. USG: collection of 30 cm3 in buttock D. The diagnosis was HS and the patient underwent extensive surgical removal of the affected areas (10 x 2 cm) with healing by secondary intention. Skin graft performed unsuccessfully in Dec/2010. The patient returned in jan/2011 with a new fistula at the site of resection, consistent with Crohn?s disease. In fev/2011 underwent drainage of abscesses and placement of setons in perianal fistulas. Currently in therapy with good biological evolution of fistulas. The prevalence of HS varies from 0.3 to 4% of the population in general. The axilla is the region most affected and perianal lesions are associated with greater weakness. There are published reports of association between HS and Crohn?s disease sporadically and further studies are needed to assess a common pathogenesis. The differential diagnosis should be performed in all cases planning immediate treatment, avoiding complications and worsening of the patient?s quality of life.

Demostrar la utilidad de la ecofistulografía en la identificación de la fístula perianal. Estudio realizado en el Servicio de Cirugía 2 del Hospital Domingo Luciani, IVSS. Caracas. Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal de todos los pacientes que consultaron por secreción perianal en el período comprendido entre octubre de 2008 y junlio de 2009. Para la ecofistulografía se utilizó un equipo de ultrasonografía tridimensional Profocus Blue de BK Medical®, con transductor 2050 de 360°. Todos los estudios fueron realizados por el mismo explorador. Se incluyeron 41 pacientes, 37 hombres y 4 mujeres, en edades comprendidas entre 20 y 70 años, encontrando 7 fístulas interesfintéricas, 10 fístulas transesfintéricas, 2 fístulas extraesfintéricas, 1 fístula supraesfintérica; 2 fístulas en herradura. En 4 fístulas se observó un trayecto secundario. En 5 estudios se observó 1 o más cavidades de absceso y en 23 pacientes se evidenció la localización del orificio interno. En 23 pacientes se pudo realizar la medición del trayecto, y en 27 de los casos se describió su relación con el complejo esfinteriano. La ultrasonografía transrrecta tridimensional se considera un instrumento de gran importancia en el manejo de la fístula perianal orientando la búsqueda de hallazgo quirúrgico, siendo de ayuda para decidir la conducta, disminuir el índice de recidivas y complicaciones; por ser un método diagnóstico rápido, de bajo costo, con posibilidad de utilización en nuestro medio y bien tolerado por los pacientes.
To demostrate the effectiveness of fistulography in the identification of anal fistulas. Study performed at the General Surgery Service 2 of the Hospital Domingo Luciani, Caracas. This is a prospective, descriptive and transversal study of all the patients consulting with perianal discharge, in a period between October 2008 and July 2009. For fistulography it was used a tridimentional ultrasonographic Profocus Blue of BK Medical®, with a 2050 of 360º transductor. All the studies were done by the same explorer. There were included 41 patients, 37 males, and 4 females; with ages between 20 and 70 years old. We found 7 inter-sphinteric fistulas, 10 trans-sphinteric, 2 extra-sphinteric, 1 supra-sphinteric and 2 horseshoe fistulas. In 4 patients, secondary tracks were identified. In 5 studies we found one or more abscesses cavities and internal opening was demostrated in 23 patients, and tracks were measured. The relationships with sphinteric complex was described in 27 patients. Tridimentional trans-anal sonography is considered a very important diagnostic tool in the management of anal fistula. It helps to decide the surgical strategy. With this method we can decrease the number of recidivies and complications, also is an economic, fast and well tolerated study.

El General San Martín estuvo postrado en cama desde fines de mayo hasta principios de julio de 1819. El viajero inglés Samuel Haigh que lo visitó dejó constancia del fuerte compromiso de su estado general. En su correspondencia San Martín refiere que padecía por ese entonces una "fistola producida por unas almorranas agangrenadas". Dado que las hemorroides no se complican con fístula, suponemos que el cuadro proctológico agudo habría sido producido por un absceso perianal. Apoyamos esta especulación en: 1) el gran compromiso del estado general que atribuimos a la sepsis, y 2) la referencia a la fístula, que interpretamos como la evacuación espontánea del absceso.(AU)
General San Martin was confined in bed, from the end of May to the beginning of July of 1819, tired and exhausted. The English traveller Samuel Haigh, who visit him, wrote about San Martins seriously affected general condition. In his mail, San Martín told he was suffering from "fistula produced by gangrenous hemorrhoids". We know that hemorrhoids dont complicate with fistula, and suppose that his proctologic acute illness could be related to a perianal abscess. Our speculation is supported by: 1) San Martins poor general condition, which we believe secondary to sepsis, and 2) the idea he had about a fistula, which we think was a spontaneous evacuation of an perianal abscess.(AU)

A doença de Crohn caracteriza-se por elevada morbidade e manifestações perianais que podem ocorrer em até metade dos pacientes, sendo a fístula perianal, dentre elas, a mais grave. O tratamento cirúrgico isolado desapontador pela alta frequência de recidiva e incontinência anal. As fístulas complexas e múltiplas devem ser tratadas com a associação de fistulotomia em dois tempos com o uso de sedenho, associada terapêutica anti-TNF. Os autores relatam caso de paciente de 47 anos de idade, com doença de Crohn fistulizante perianal complexa, que foi submetida colocação de sedenho seguida da infusão de infliximabe, sendo obtido sucesso no fechamento completo das fístulas.
