    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Au cours des 8 ans passés, 61 patients avec hidradénite supparative (HS) ont été traités à cette institution. 24 avaient aussi un diagnostic de maladie de Crohn (38%). Cette pathologie double est examinée en détail dans une revue rétrospective. Il y avait 11 hommes et 13 femmes d'un âge moyen de 39 (18–75 ans). La maladie de Crohn était iléale chez 1 patient, iléocolique chez 4 et affectait le colon seulement chez 19. Le diagnostic de malade de Crohn était antérieur à celui de HS en moyenne de 3,5 ans. A l'époque de la revue, 22 patients avaient une stomie, 23 avaient subi une laparotomie et 17 avaient perdu le rectum. L'hidradénite suppurative est survenue dans les zones périnéales ou périanales chez tous les patients mais occupait aussi d'autres lieux dans 20 cas. Une greffe cutanée a été faite chez 9 et des traitements locaux chez 19 patients. Des granulomes ont été trouvés dans la peau excisée chez 6 malades mais ces découvertes n'étaient pas associées avec un mauvais pronostic. Avec un recul moyen de 3,2 ans après la plus récente intervention chirurgicale pour hidroadénite (1 à 11 ans) 11 étaient asymptomatiques pour leur hidroadénite, 11 avaient des symptômes et 2 étaient perdus de vue. Ces faits montrent que HS peut coexister avec la maladie de Crohn rectocolique, compliquant le diagnostic et la traitement des patients ches lesquels elle survient. Un accroissement de l'appréciation de cette possibilité est recommandée.
    Notes: Abstract Over the last 8 years, 61 patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) have been treated at this institution. Twenty-four have also had a diagnosis of Crohn's disease (38%). This dual pathology is examined in detail in this retrospective review. There were 11 males and 13 females with a mean age of 39 years (range 18 to 75 years). The Crohn's disease was ileal in 1 patient, ileocolic in 4, and affected the large bowel only in 19. The diagnosis of Crohn's disease predated that of HS by an average of 3.5 years. At the time of review, 22 patients had a stoma, 23 had undergone laparotomy and 17 had lost their rectum. Hidradenitis suppurativa occurred in the perineal or perianal area in all patients but involved other sites in 20 cases. Skin grafting had been done in 9 and local procedures in 19 patients. Granulomas were found in excised skin in 6 cases but this finding was not associated with a poor outcome. At a mean follow-up of 3.2 years from the most recent surgery for HS (range 1 to 11 years) 11 were asymptomatic for HS, 11 had symptoms and no follow up was available in 2. These data show that HS may coexist with Crohn's proctocolitis, complicating the diagnosis and management of patients in whom it occurs. An increased appreciation of the possibility is recommended.

    Notes: Abstract Colonoscopy is sometimes painful for the patient and often difficult for the endoscopist, but it is hard to predict how difficult or painful the examination will be. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence difficulty and pain during colonoscopy. Some 1,284 consecutive patients undergoing office colonoscopy by three endoscopists were prospectively studied. A standard questionnaire was completed by the nursing staff, who assessed the degree of difficulty and pain associated with each exam on a four-point scale. There were 682 men and 551 women (sex not recorded in 51). There was no pain in 27%, mild pain in 39%, moderate pain in 25%, and severe pain in 9%. There was no difficulty in 25%, mild difficulty in 33%, moderate difficulty in 28%, and severe difficulty in 14%. Colonoscopy was significantly easier (P〈0.001, chi square) and less painful (P〈0.001, chi square) in patients after sigmoidectomy. It was more painful after hysterectomy (P〈0.05, chi square) and more difficult and painful in women than in men (P〈0.01, chi square). There were significant differences between endoscopists in the assessment of pain associated with colonoscopy. Most colonoscopies are associated with little or no pain (66%) and are easy or only mildly difficult to perform (58%). Patients who have had sigmoid resection are especially easy and painless to examine while women, especially after hysterectomy, are at higher risk of having a painful experience. Colonoscopy technique can influence the amount of pain experienced by the patient.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Because of the inability to palpate colonic tumors during laparoscopy, their location must be precisely identified before resection is undertaken. Method: A retrospective study was performed of 58 patients in order to be able to describe our methods of tumor localization for laparoscopic colorectal operations and to review their effectiveness. Results: In all patients, the entire colon was examined preoperatively by colonoscopy. In one patient, preoperative colonoscopic localization was inaccurate. In 31 patients, tumors were easily detectable at surgery. In five patients with the tumor in the right colon, even though the lesion was not detectable at surgery, right colectomy was performed without marking because preoperative colonoscopy reliably identified the lesion adjacent to the ileocecal valve. Twenty-two patients required some type of procedure to localize the tumor. The procedures and their problems were as follows: preoperative tattoo (five)—tattoo not visualized (one); intraoperative colonoscopy alone (six), combined with intraoperative tattoo (four) or clip (three)—poor operative exposure due to bowel distension (nine), hard to see the clip (three), dislodged clip (two), inadequate resection margin (one); intraoperative proctoscopy alone (two), combined with laparoscopic stitch (two)—no problems. In no patient was tumor present at a resection line and in no patient was the wrong segment resected. Conclusions: Reliable preoperative identification of the tumor adjacent to the ileocecal valve can permit right colectomy without marking. Lesions in the upper rectum can be approached via intraoperative proctoscopy ± suture placement. If the surgeon anticipates intraoperative localization may be difficult, lesions other than rectal or cecal ones should probably be marked by preoperative tattooing. Further studies regarding the technique of tattooing are warranted.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Patients with a colorectal neoplasm are at risk for metachronous neoplasia. This risk usually is stratified according to the number, size, and histology of the index lesion(s). This study was performed to search for factors contributing not only to a very high risk of metachronous lesions but also to a very low risk. Methods: An extensive neoplasia follow-up database was used to identify patients who were neoplasia prone and neoplasia resistant. Groups were defined as having consecutive colonoscopies that were either all positive or all negative for adenoma(s). Subgroups with two, three, and four consecutive positive or negative examinations were formed, then analyzed for gender, number of index neoplasms, and family history. Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis or with families fulfilling the Amsterdam criteria for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer were excluded. Results: The database showed 702 patients who had two follow-up examinations, 103 of which were neoplasia prone and 245 neoplasia resistant. After three consecutive examinations (420 patients), the numbers were 51, and 87, respectively, and after four examinations (231 patients), they were 26 and 34. As the groups became better defined, the proportion of women in the neoplasia-resistant group and the proportion of men in the neoplasia-prone group increased. When gender and number of index lesions were combined, groups were most definitively characterized. Incidence of a positive family history of colorectal cancer was not different between the groups. As the number of follow-up examinations increased, the number of large polyps found decreased. Conclusions: Groups of patients particularly liable to develop colorectal neoplasia or particularly resistant to it can be identified. Female gender and a single-index lesion favor neoplasia resistance, whereas male gender and multiple-index lesions favor a predisposition for neoplasia.

    Notes: Abstract This article examines the effect of ileal pouch-anal (n=134) and coloanal (n=16) anastomoses on resting anal canal pressures in 150 patients. METHODS: Patients underwent anal manometry before ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and coloanal anastomosis (CAA) and again six weeks after ileostomy closure following these procedures. A water-perfused catheter system with four radial ports was used for manometry, pressures being recorded during both station and continuous pull through. RESULTS: Patients with IPAA were younger than those with CAA (34 years vs. 50 years) and had a different ratio of hand-to-stapled anastomosis (1∶2.6 vs. 1.3∶1). All CAA patients had had rectal cancer while IPAA patients suffered mainly from ulcerative colitis (n=114) or familial polyposis (n=10). The mean preoperative resting pressure for all patients was 79 mmHg (75–87, 95 percent confidence limit) and the mean fall in this pressure after surgery was 25 mmHg (−21 to −29, 95 percent confidence limit). There was no difference in preoperative pressure or fall between handsewn and stapled anastomoses, or between IPAA and CAA. CONCLUSION: There was a significant relationship between preoperative pressure and change in pressure that held true for all subgroups (change=−0.7 × preoperative pressure + 31,r=0.69). Analysis of the functional results confirmed that patients with high preoperative pressure are at risk for severe falls after surgery and are not guaranteed a good result. Conversely, patients with low preoperative pressures may actually have an increase with surgery and are not always incontinent. Patients with low preoperative anal resting pressures should not be denied anastomosis to the anus if they are continent.

    Notes: Abstract This study reviews the recent overall experience in one colorectal surgery department with congenital presacral tumors in adults. 24 patients greater than 21 years of age, who underwent curative resection between January 1980 and August 1992, were analyzed retrospectively. The growths were divided into two broad categories: developmental cysts and chordomas. The most common presenting symptom was pain (19/24). A preoperative evaluation regimen is outlined in the study and includes use of CT scanning, MRI imaging, and possibly the use of endoluminal ultrasound to document the relationship of presacral tumors to pelvic viscera. There were 20 developmental cysts and 4 chordomas treated in this series. 15 of 19 developmental cysts were excised by a posterior approach alone, 2 were excised by an anterior approach alone, and 3 were treated by a combined approach. Trans-sacral excision was carried out in 4 patients with developmental cysts. One chordoma was resected posteriorly and the other 3 through a combined anterior and posterior approach. Three recurrences were diagnosed after excision of developmental cysts at 8, 18, and 41 months postoperatively. Recurrence occurred in 3 of 4 chordoma patients after 25, 32, and 55 months. Reexcision was carried out in all patients. None of the developmental cyst cases developed a second recurrence but 2 of the 3 chordoma patients have recurred, but have undergone local irradiation, which has controlled their disease. A detailed surgical treatment plan is outlined in this article, emphasizing that total excision be the goal surgery, even if this requires a combined anterior and posterior approach. In cases of recurrence of both development cysts and chordoma, re-excision is a reasonable therapeutic option.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La multiplication des registres de polypose a permis de diagnostiquer un nombre croissant de sujets jeunes proteurs d'une polypose adénomateuse familiale (FAP). Afin d'établir des recommandations dans la sélection du traitement chirurgical approprié chez des adolescents (10–19 ans), nous avons comparé les résultats de la colectomie et de l'anastomose iliéo-rectale (IRA, n=17 patients) aux résultats de procto-colectomie avec rétablissement de la continuité par l'intermédiaire d'une poche iléoanale (IPAA, n=7 patients). Les dossiers ont été revus afin d'obtenir des données sur la technique opératoire, les pertes sanguines et les transfusions, la durée de séjours hospitaliers (incluant la période nécessaire pour la fermeture de l'iléostomie), ainsi que les complications précoces (à moins de 30 jours de l'opération) et les complications tardives. Les résultats fonctionnels (nombre de selles par 24 h, usage de médications anti-diarrhéïques, fuites et incontinence fécale) et la qualité de la vie ont été évalués prospectivement à l'aide d'un questionnaire et de consultations de contrôle. Le suivi moyen a été de 49 mois (de 6 à 95 mois) après l'IRA et de 36 mois après l'IPAA (de 4 à 87 mois). Bien que la colo-poctectomie avec rétablissement de la continuité par IPAA soit plus longue (5,75-heures vs 3,1) plus sanglante (500 ml pertes sanguines vs 300 ml) et plus complexe avec un séjour hospitalier plus long (12 jours vs 7 jours) que l'IRA (P=0.008, P=0.006 et P=0.002), nous n'avons pas observé de différence P〉0.05 entre les deux groupes en ce qui concerne le taux de complecations et la qualité de vie. Nous recommandons une colo-proctectomie avec rétablissement de la continuité par une IPAA chez des adolescents porteurs d'une polypose adénomateuse familiale et de tapis d'adénome du rectum présentant des cancers curables des deux tiers supérieurs du rectum chez lesquels le follow-up ne pourra que difficilement être assuré. Dans les autres cas, la décision de réaliser une IRA ou une procto-colectomie avec IPAA dépend des souhaits du patient et de l'expérience du chirurgien.
    Notes: Abstract Increasing numbers of polyposis registries have led to more young patients being diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). To provide guidelines for selecting the appropriate surgical procedure in teenagers (10–19 years), we compared the results of colectomy and ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA, n=17 patients) to the results of resrorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA, n=7 patients). Charts were reviewed to obtain data on the operative technique, blood loss and transfusions, hospital stay (including the time for ileostomy closure), and early (within 30 days of surgery) and late complications. Functional results (bowel movements per 24h, use of antidiarrheal drugs, seepage, and fecal incontinence) and quality of life were evaluated prospectively with a questionnaire and physical examination. The median follow-up time was 49 months (range, 6 to 95 months) after IRA, and 36 months after IPAA (range, 4 to 87 months). Although restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA, is a longer (5.75 vs 3.1 hours), more bloody (500 vs 300 mL blood loss), and more complex operation with a longer hospital stay (12 vs 7 days) than IRA (P=0.008, P=0.006, P=0.02, respectively), no significant difference (P〉0.05) was found between groups concerning the complication rate or quality of life. For teenagers with FAP and rectal carpeting, large rectal adenomas, curable cancer in the upper two-thirds of the rectum, or who are unavailable for follow-up, we recommend a restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA. For the other patients, the decision whether to perform IRA or restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA depends on the patient's desire and the surgeon's skill.
