    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED VIA JOURNAL ARTICLE: "TITLE: LAPAROSCOPIC CORRECTION OF ENTEROCELE ASSOCIATED TO STAPLED TRANSANAL RECTAL RESECTION FOR OBSTRUCTED DEFECATION SYNDROME" AUTHORS: ALFONSO CARRIERO, MARCELLO PICCHIO, JACOPO MARTELLUCCI, PASQUALE TALENTO, DOMENICO PALIMENTO, ERASMO SPAZIANI. CITATION: INT J COLORECTAL DIS. 2010; 25: 381¿387. DOI: 10.1007/S00384-009-0840-X. THE AUTHORS REPORTED THEIR EXPERIENCE OF CONCOMITANT LAPAROSCOPIC TREATMENT FOR ENTEROCELE AND STAPLED TRANSANAL RECTAL RESECTION (STARR) FOR RECTOCELE AND/OR RECTAL PROLAPSE IN PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX OBSTRUCTED DEFECATION SYNDROME (ODS). FROM JUNE 2005 TO JUNE 2007, THE AUTHORS SUBMITTED 20 PATIENTS (19 FEMALES AND 1 MALE PATIENT; AGE RANGE: 36 TO 75 YEARS OLD) WITH ODS DUE TO RECTAL PROLAPSE AND/OR RECTOCELE, COMBINED WITH STABLE ENTEROCELE, TO STARR AND LAPAROSCOPIC CORRECTION OF THE ENTEROCELE. AFTER EXPOSURE OF THE PELVIS HOLDING BACK THE SMALL BOWEL, STARR PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED. A TOTAL OF 16 PROCEDURES WERE PERFORMED WITH THE PPH-01 STAPLED ANOPLASTY KIT (ETHICON) AND 3 PROCEDURES WITH CONTOUR TRANSTAR (ETHICON). THE LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURE AIMED TO EXCISE THE ENTEROCELE SAC AND OBLITERATE DOUGLAS¿ CUL-DE-SAC. AFTER PROPER DISSECTION OF THE ENTIRE SAC WITH MONOPOLAR DIATHERMY, A RUNNING SUTURE OF THE PERITONEAL MARGINS WITH VICRYL 2-0 SUTURE WAS PERFORMED. REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED RECTAL BLEEDING (N-1) WHICH WAS TREATED CONSERVATIVELY, RETROPNEUMOPERITONEUM (N-1) WHICH REQUIRED ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY FOR 7 DAYS AND THE EVENT RESOLVED AFTER, AND POST-OPERATIVE URGENCY NOT ASSOCIATED WITH PRE-OPERATIVE URGENCY (N-3). IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE COMBINATION OF STARR AND LAPAROSCOPY PROVIDES A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE METHOD TO TREAT ODS CAUSED BY RECTAL INTERNAL PROLAPSE AND/OR RECTOCELE AND COMBINED WITH ENTEROCELE AND OTHER PELVIC FLOOR ABNORMALITIES. LARGER STUDIES WITH LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP ARE NECESSARY TO ASSESS THE RESULTS OF THIS NEW COMBINED SURGICAL PROCEDURE.
