RESUMO
Introduction: Treatment of complex fistulas such as inter- or transsphincteric, recurrent, and high fistulae have high rate of recurrence or incontinence. Fistulectomy with primary sphincter reconstruction might represent an effective and safe alternative to reduce rate of recurrence and incontinence. The aim of this study is to assess incontinence and recurrence after fistulectomy with primary sphincter reconstruction for management of complex fistulas. Material and Methods: There were 60 patients with complex fistulae involving the sphincter, with 56 male and 4 female, mean age 40.6 years, operated by fistulectomy and primary sphincter repair over a period of 7 years. Patients were followed up for 6months for any complications, recurrence, and incontinence. Results: The majority of patients (50, 83.3%) had complete wound healing in 2 weeks, while 4 (6.6%) patients had hematoma and superficial wound dehiscence, which were managed conservatively and healed in 4 weeks. There was one recurrence. All patients had good continence postoperatively, except for mild fecal incontinence (FI, score 3), seen in 6 (10%) patients. However, all these patients regained continence within 6 weeks. Conclusions: Primary reconstruction of anal sphincter with fistulectomy is a safe option for complex fistula-in-ano. (AU)

Background: Fistula in ano is a very common perianal condition seen in outpatient departments. Fistulotomy and fistulectomy are two conventional options of surgery. The present study is designed to observe wound healing time and mean postoperative pain score in the comparison of outcome of the fistulectomy to fistulotomy with marsupialization. Methods: This prospective randomized trial was conducted in the surgical department of the Civil Hospital Karachi for a period of 12 months, in which 60 patients with low anal fistula were divided into 2 groups. Thirty patients in group A were treated with fistulectomy, and 30 in group B were treated with fistulotomy with marsupialization. The postoperative pain severity was assessed after 24 hrs through a visual analogue scale and on weekly and fortnightly follow-ups for 6 weeks. Wound healing was assessed by clinical examination on weekly and fortnightly follow-ups for 6 weeks to estimate the mean healing time. Results: The mean pain score was significantly lower in group B in comparison to group A (3.6±1.99 versus 2.40±1.52; p=0.01). The mean wound healing time was shorter in group B in comparison to group A (4.23±0.77 versus 5.80±0.41 weeks; p=0.0005). Conclusion: Fistulotomy with marsupialization is a simple, easy, and more effective method than fistulectomy for the treatment of simple perianal fistula. (AU)

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: El mecanismo más frecuente por el que se originan las fístulas útero-cutáneas es la cesárea, con una incidencia no mayor a 0.4%. El sangrado menstrual a través de la herida quirúrgica es un dato patognomónico. El diagnóstico puede establecerse mediante fistulografía, inyección transcervical de azul de metileno, tomografía computada contrastada, resonancia magnética o histerosalpingografía. En la actualidad el tratamiento de elección es la escisión quirúrgica del trayecto fistuloso, con o sin histerectomía. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 25 años, con antecedente de tres cesáreas; la última en febrero de 2018. Hallazgo transoperatorio: útero fácilmente sangrante y friable, con drenaje tipo Penrose en la fosa iliaca izquierda, que se retiró a las 72 horas. Acudió a consulta debido a un padecimiento de 22 días de evolución caracterizado por hipertermia, dolor pélvico y secreción fétida a través de la herida del drenaje previo. Durante el sangrado menstrual advirtió descarga por el sitio de la herida quirúrgica. En la exploración se observaron: cicatriz de drenaje del Penrose de aspecto granulomatoso y exudado purulento. Debido a que se sospechó un trayecto fistuloso útero-cutáneo se realizó una fistulografía con medio de contraste yodado no iónico y una tomografía. Se practicó fistulectomía con histerectomía. La paciente tuvo evolución clínica favorable. CONCLUSIÓN: A pesar de que la fístula útero-cutánea es un problema realmente excepcional, aun así, debe considerarse después de la cesárea. El dato clínico patognomónico es el sangrado menstrual a través de la herida quirúrgica. El diagnóstico certero es preciso, con la demostración del trayecto de la fístula mediante fistulografía, inyección transcervical de azul de metileno, tomografía computada contrastada, resonancia magnética o histerosalpingografía.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Fistula is an abnormal communication between two epithelialized surfaces. Caesarean section is the most frequent cause of uterine-cutaneous fistula, with an incidence of no more than 0.4%. Menstrual bleeding through the surgical wound is an almost pathognomonic finding. The diagnosis can be made using fistulography, transcervical injection of methylene blue, computerized tomography with contrast, as well as magnetic resonance or hysterosalpingography. Currently, the treatment of choice continues to be the surgical excision of the fistulous tract with or without hysterectomy. CLINICAL CASE: Female patient of 25 years of age with a history of three caesarean sections;; last in February 2018. As transoperative finding: uterus easily bleeding and friable leaving Penrose drainage to the left iliac fossa, which is removed 72 hours later. He came to the clinic for a condition of 22 days of evolution characterized by hyperthermia, pelvic pain and foul-smelling discharge through a previous drainage wound. When presenting menstrual bleeding, she sees discharge by surgical wound site. On examination: Penrose drainage scar of granulomatous appearance and purulent exudate, suspecting cutaneous uterus fistulous tract, so fistulography is performed with iodinated non-ionic contrast medium and tomography. We proceed to fistulectomy with hysterectomy. He is currently a patient with favorable clinical evolution. CONCLUSION: Although the uterine-cutaneous fistula is a really exceptional problem, even so, it should be considered after the cesarean section. The pathognomonic clinical data is menstrual bleeding through the surgical wound. The accurate diagnosis is precise, with the demonstration of the path of the fistula by means of fistulography, transcervical injection of methylene blue, contrasted computed tomography, magnetic resonance or hysterosalpingography.
RESUMO
Abstract Introduction The ideal method of treating the complex anal fistula is to eradicate the sepsis and preserve the anal sphincter; since there is no definite consensus on the surgical method of treating it. Recent studies show that fistulectomy and immediate sphincteroplasy are a safe and appropriate way to treat the fistula-in-ano. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term outcomes of fistulectmy and sphincteroplasty in the treatment of complex perianal fistula. Methods In this prospective study, we have analyzed the data of 80 patients who underwent fistulectomy and sphincteroplasty from May 2013 to May 2016. Preoperative information included physical examination, preoperative fecal incontinence evaluation and taking a complete history about underlying diseases and past related surgeries were collected. Results Of all 80 patients with complex fistula, 57.5% (46 patients) were male. 70-Patients were presented with high transsphincteric fistula (87.5%) and anterior fistula was diagnosed in 10 of them (12.5%). 9 patients (11.3%) suffered from hypertension and 43 patients (53.75%) had recurrent fistula after previous surgeries. During the follow-up period, the overall success rate was 98.8% (98.8%) and fistulectomy and sphincteroplasty failed in only one patient (failure rate: 1.3%). preoperative and post-operative scoring showed mild fecal incontinence in 8 patients (10%). We have found no significant relation between the age, gender, hypertension, previous surgery and post-operative recurrence. Conclusion Fistulectomy and sphincteroplasty is a safe surgical procedure in the treatment of anterior anal fistula in females and high transsphincteric fistulas.
Resumo Introdução o método ideal para tratar a fístula anal complexa consiste em erradicar a sepse e preservar o esfíncter anal, uma vez que não existe consenso definitivo com relação ao método cirúrgico para tratamento desse problema. Estudos recentes demonstram que a fistulectomia, seguida imediatamente pela esfincteroplastia, é procedimento seguro e apropriado no tratamento da fístula perianal. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os resultados em longo prazo da fistulectomia e da esfincteroplastia no tratamento da fístula perianal complexa. Métodos Neste estudo prospectivo analisamos os dados de 80 pacientes tratados por fistulectomia e esfíncteroplastia no período de maio de 2013 até maio de 2016. Foram coletadas as seguintes informações pré-operatórias: exame físico, avaliação pré-operatória de incontinência fecal e história completa sobre doenças subjacentes e cirurgias prévias afins. Resultados De todos os 80 pacientes com fístula complexa, 57,5% (46 pacientes) pertenciam ao gênero masculino. Setenta pacientes se apresentaram com fístula trans-esfinctérica alta (87,5%); em 10 desses pacientes (12,5%), foi diagnosticada fístula anterior. Nove pacientes (11,3%) sofriam de hipertensão (HT), tendo sido observada recorrência de fístula após cirurgias prévias em 43 pacientes (53,75%). Durante o período de seguimento, o percentual de sucesso global foi de 98,8%, e em apenas um paciente os procedimentos de fistulectomia e esfincteroplastia não obtiveram sucesso (percentual de falha: 1,3%). Os escores pré-operatórios e pós-operatórios revelaram incontinência fecal leve em 8 pacientes (10%). Não observamos nenhuma relação significativa entre idade, gênero, HT, cirurgia prévia e recorrência pós-operatória. Conclusão Fistulectomia e esfincteroplastia constituem procedimento cirúrgico seguro no tratamento de fístulas anais anteriores em mulheres e de fístulas trans-esfinctéricas altas.
