ABSTRACT

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.
RESUMEN

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.
