Objective To explore the medium- and long-term clinical effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with Block operation for obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). Methods Clinical data of 187 patients with ODS caused by rectocele (RE) who received PPH+Block operation or pure PPH operation in The Chaoyang City Central Hospital from Mar. 2011 to May. 2013, were collected retrospectively, in which 95 patients underwent PPH+Block operation (PPH+Block group) and 92 patients underwent PPH operation (PPH group). Compared the postoperative Longo’s score, postoperative clinical effect, operative effect, and recurrence rate between the 2 groups. Results ① The postoperative Longo’s score: the postoperative Longo’s scores of the PPH+Block group were both lower than those of the PPH group at 1- and 3-year after operation (P<0.05). ② Postoperative curative effect: the total effective rate of the PPH+Block group and the PPH group were both 100%, but the clinical effect of the the PPH+Block group was better than that of the PPH group (Z=–10.15, P<0.05). ③ Operative effect: there was no statistical significance on operative time, intraoperative blood loss, returned to normal activity time, hospital stay, and postoperative visual analogy score (VAS) between the 2 groups (P>0.05). In addition, there were no statistical significance on the incidences of urinary retention, hematochezia, exhaust anal incontinence, and anal fissure between the 2 groups (P>0.05), but the incidence of urgent or high anal straining feeling in the PPH+Block group was significantly higher than that of the PPH group (P<0.05). ④ Medium- and long-term recurrence rate: the recurrence rate of 1-year after operation was similar between these2 groups (P>0.05), but the recurrence rate of 3-year after operation in the PPH+Block group was significantly lower than that of the PPH group (P<0.05). Conclusions The medium clinical effect has no obvious difference between PPH+Block and PPH operation, but the long-term recurrence rate of the former is lower than that of the latter, and the medium- and long-term effect is stable in PPH+Block operation for ODS caused by RE.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of " washing, blowing and plugging” triple therapy on wound treatment after procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) operation.MethodsTwo hundreds and four patients with moderate to severe hemorrhoids treated by PPH from June 2017 to September 2018 in the Fifth Hospital of Zhangjiakou City of Hebei province were selected as study subjects and divided into two groups according to the random number table, the control group received saline fumigation followed by sitz bath and conventional wound dressing change on the second day after operation, the observation group were treated with " washing, blowing and plugging” triple therapy and routine wound dressing change on the 2nd day after operation. The clinical efficacy, wound pain, wound exudation, skin margin edema, hemorrhage, granulation tissue filling time and complete wound healing time were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the effective rate between the observation group and the control group in degree Ⅱ hemorrhoids (P>0.05), while the effective rates of patients with degree Ⅲ and Ⅳ hemorrhoids were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The visual analogue scale (VAS), wound exudation, skin margin edema and hemorrhage scores of the two groups decreased gradually with time (P<0.05), meanwhile, the scores of VAS, wound exudation, skin margin edema and hemorrhage at each time point in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The granulation tissue filling time and complete wound healing time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionsAfter PPH operation, the " washing, blowing and plugging” triple therapy has definite clinical effect, can significantly improve wound pain, wound exudation, skin margin edema and hemorrhage, and effectively shorten the wound healing time.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy (Abbreviated as combined therapy) in the treatment of severe mixed hemorrhoids complicated with high rectal and anal canal resting pressure.MethodsFrom January 2016 to June 2018, the patients with grade Ⅲ–Ⅳ mixed hemorrhoids who underwent surgical treatment in this hospital were selected for the prospective study, including 100 patients with high pressure (>70 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and 100 patients with low pressure (≤70 mm Hg), then which were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the random number table method (with 50 cases in each group). The patients in the control group underwent the PPH and in the experimental group underwent the combined therapy. The therapeutic effect and perioperative indicators were observed in each group, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain before and after the operation, the incidence of complications and the recurrence rate of symptoms were observed, the factors influencing the therapeutic effect of combined therapy were analyzed.ResultsWhether for the patients with high or low rectal and anal canal resting pressure, although the operation time of the experimental group was significantly longer than that of the control group (t=8.996, P<0.001; t=8.927, P<0.001), the total effective rate was higher (χ2=7.294, P=0.007; χ2=6.775, P=0.009), the length of stay in hospital was shorter (t=11.922, P<0.001; t=11.442, P<0.001), the hospital expenses decreased significantly (t=2.226, P=0.028; t=2.562, P=0.012), the VAS score at 24 h and 72 h after operation were lower (24 h: t=12.659, P<0.001; t=12.191, P<0.001; 72 h: t=9.920, P<0.001; t=9.901, P<0.001), the incidence of postoperative complications was lower (χ2=7.484, P=0.006; χ2=11.416, P=0.001) in the experimental group as compared with the control group; there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=1.042, P=0.307; χ2=0.211, P=0.646). The course of disease and the grade of internal hemorrhoids were the independent factors influencing the marked efficiency of combined therapy (χ2=7.417, P=0.009; χ2=4.286, P=0.017).ConclusionsCombined therapy is effective in treatment of severe mixed hemorrhoids complicated with high rectal and anal canal resting pressure, it could accelerate recovery of patients and relieve pain. It should be paid attention to patients with long course of disease and severe degree of internal hemorrhoids.
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy (Abbreviation: PPH+sphincterotomy) on postoperative wound margin edema and anal function in patients with severe mixed hemorrhoids.MethodsEighty-five patients with severe mixed hemorrhoids admitted to this hospital from February 2017 to February 2018 were selected as the study subjects, then they were divided into a PPH group (n=42) and PPH+sphincterotomy group (n=43) according to the different treatment methods. The patient in the PPH group was treated with the PPH, while in the PPH+sphincterotomy group was treated with the partial internal anal sphincterotomy on the basis of the PPH group. The clinical efficacy, degree of pain, edema of wound margin, anal function, and the recurrence rate of symptoms were observed in two groups.Results① There were no significant differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, course of disease, grading of internal hemorrhoids, and symptoms between the two groups (P>0.05). ② The total effective rate of the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly higher than that of the PPH group [100% (43/43) versus 90.48% (38/42), χ2=4.297, P=0.038]. ③ The VAS score of the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly lower than that of the PPH group on the 3rd and 7th day after the treatment (P<0.05), the VAS score of each group at the 3rd or 7th day after the treatment was significantly lower than that before the treatment (P<0.05), and it was significantly lower on the 7th day than that on the 3rd day after the treatment (P<0.05). ④ The postoperative wound margin edema in the PPH group was more serious than that in PPH+sphincterotomy group (χ2=20.237, P<0.001), and the score in the PPH group was significantly higher than that in the PPH+sphincterotomy group (t=13.514, P<0.001). ⑤ The resting pressure of anal canal after the treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05), and the diastolic pressure of anal canal after the treatment was significantly higher than that before the treatment (P<0.05) in the two groups. The resting pressure of anal canal in the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly lower than that in the PPH group and the diastolic pressure of anal canal was significantly higher than that in the PPH group (P<0.05) after the treatment. ⑥ In addition, the total recurrence rate of symptoms at 1 year in the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly lower than that of the PPH group [6.98% (3/43) versus 23.81% (10/42), χ2=4.647, P=0.031].ConclusionPPH+sphincterotomy could effectively relieve symptoms of severe mixed hemorrhoids, improve clinical efficacy, and reduce recurrence rate.
ObjectiveTo study the curative effect and postoperative anorectal dynamics change of tissue-selecting therapy stapler (TST) and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) respectively combined with mixed Milligan-Morgan and lauromacrgol injection in the treatment of Ⅲ–Ⅳ degree mixed hemorrhoid.MethodsClinical data of 158 patients with Ⅲ–Ⅳdegree mixed hemorrhoid who received operation in the Department of Colorectal and Anal Surgery, Chaoyang Central Hospital, from May 2016 to March 2018 were analyzed retrospectively, the observation group (TST+Milligan-Morgan+lauromacrgol injection, 80 cases) and control group (PPH+Milligan-Morgan+lauromacrgol injection, 78 cases). The clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, postoperative complications and recurrence of the two groups were observed, and the changes of anorectal dynamic indexes before and after operation were observed.ResultsPostoperative symptoms of mixed hemorrhoid prolapse could be alleviated by 100% in both the observation group and the control group, and the relief rate of hematochezia was 93.8% and 92.3%, respectively, and the effective rate of 1 year after surgery was 97.5% and 94.9%, respectively. Comparison between the two groups showed no statistical difference (P>0.05). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, VAS pain score and hospital stay of the observation group were all better than those of the control group (P<0.05). In terms of postoperative massive hemorrhage and anastomotic stenosis, although the incidence rate of the control group was higher than that of the observation group (3.8% vs. 1.3% and 2.6% vs. 0.0%, respectively), there was no statistical significance in the two groups (P>0.05). Postoperative anal drop, stool urgency, postoperative urinary retention and postoperative stimulation of anal papilla hypertrophy and proliferation complications were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The difference of maximum anal systolic pressure (MASP) in the two groups of patients between before and after surgery and the comparison of MASP results between the two groups after surgery showed no statistical differences (P>0.05). The differences of resting anal sphincter pressure (RASP) and rectal sensory threshold volume (RSTV) between before and after operation were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The difference of rectal maximum threshold volume (RMTV) value and the comparison of RASP, RSTV and RMTV value between the two groups after surgery showed that the observation group were superior to the control group and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionsTST or PPH combined with Milligan-Morgan and lauromacrgol injection both are effective and minimally invasive methods for the treatment of Ⅲ–Ⅳ degree mixed hemorrhoid. However, the observation group has shorter operative time and hospital stay, less intraoperative blood loss, and lower postoperative pain score. What is more important is that the postoperative complications are less and the anal function is protected to the maximum extent, and the quality of life of patients after operation is greatly improved.
