However surgical success is often reported separately, while the necessity for true reoperation is difficult to establish. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of reoperations following TERPT procedure. The findings will be important in counseling and planning childcare for HD patients as well as providing a benchmark for single centers clinical results. Methods: A literature review of reported TERPT operations on children with HD between 1998 through 2011 was performed. Only planned TERPT operation reports were included. Information was collected with particular emphasis on reoperations and their reasons. Results: Out of 26 published articles 23 were included, reporting on 836 children, female/male ratio: 1/3.3, undergoing the TERPT procedure as the only operative intervention with described postoperative courses. The children comprised neonates, 3 years of age (12%). The average follow up was 18.5 (6 - 38) months. The resected bowel length mean was 20.5 cm. Forty-one reoperations were reported (4.9%), including 24 laparotomies, 8 laparoscopies, 6 colostomies and ileostomies in 3 children. Only 2 re-do TERPT were reported (0.2%). Seven patients were considered TERPT failures (0.8%) with 5 requiring diverting colostomies and additional transabdominal pull-through operations. Two myectomies were performed (0.2%). One child with aganglionosis underwent a Duhamel pull through. Two (0.2%) had serious damage to the urinary tract also one child with a vas deferens lesion was reoperated. Two bowel obstructions required adhesiolysis. Eight anastomotic dehiscences (0.9%) required surgery after reparation. One prolapse of the pulled through colon was reported. Six patients (0.7%) suffered anastomotic leaks. Anastomotic strictures rate was 2.8%, all repaired with anal dilatation. Conclusion: The review supports the low incidence of reported reoperations for the TERPT procedure.展开更多

Materials： ILTPT was performed in 4 patients. Five or 4 ports were used. After isolation and section of the inferior mesenteric vessels, the rectum and sigmoid colon was mobilized. Total mesorectal excision and dissection of the distal rectum from the puborectalis muscle was carried out under laparoscopic guidance. The sigmoid colon and rectum were exteriorized via the anus. The rectum was divided proximally. Next, a purse-string suture was placed in the proximal segment, and the distal end of the sigmoid colon was returned to the pelvic cavity. The distal rectum was divided with Curved cutter staplermade by Jonson-Jonson company. Dislodging specimen, the continuity of the intestinal tract was restored using PROXIMATE ILS Curved and Straight Intraluminal Staplers CDH29/33 （Ethicon） through the rectum. Results： None of the cases were converted to open surgery. Average operation time was 180 min （range, 160-210 min）. No blood loss or any other complications were noted. Average postoperative stay was 9 days. Complications such as necrosis, anastomotic leakage and stricture, and genitoudnary disorders were not found in any of the patients at the 1 m follow-up. Conclusion： This report suggests that ILTPT is feasible and safe in Anus-Conserving Operation for low Rectal Cancer without auxiliary incision. If only we hold the applicability of ILTPT less trauma, more beautiful.展开更多

With no visible scar and a short hospital stay, it is well accepted by surgeons and mothers. In the conventional Soave procedure, a long rectal muscular cuff left for anocolic anastomosis might increase the incidence of postoperative enterocolitis and constipation. This study presents a modified transanal Soave pull-through procedure （MTSPP） which includes an oblique mucosectomy and an oblique anastomosis with a short split muscular cuff.. Methods A review of two groups of HD patients was made： 112 underwent conventional transanal Soave procedure from 1999 to 2001 （group 1） and 140 underwent modified transanal Soave procedure from 2002 to 2004 （group 2）. A comparison was made between the two groups on operative data and postoperative complications. The data included： age at the operation, operating time, blood loss, time to feeds and hospital stay, occurrence of postoperative enterocolitis or constipation, need for anal dilatation, postoperative bowel function and perianal skin problems. Results There was no significant difference between two groups with respect to age, gender, length of colon resected, operating time, blood loss and hospital stay. However occurrence of postoperative enterocolitis, constipation, anastomotic stricture and time needed for anal dilatation were evidently less in group 2 （MTSPP）. The mean operating time in group 1 was （106 ± 39） minutes with a range of 60 to 170 minutes; in group 2 was （101 ± 36） minutes with a range of 66 to 190 minutes. The average length of the bowel resected in group 1 was （24 ± 7） cm, range 15 to 58 cm; in group 2 was （26 ± 8） cm, range 15 to 70 cm. Two patients, one in each group, required laparoscopic assistance because of long aganglionic colon. Another patient in group 2 required laparotomy because of total colonic aganglionosis. Postoperative complications in group 1 included： temporary perianal excoriation in 34 patients （26 were 〈3 months of age）, enterocolitis in 21, anastomotic stricture in 11, recurrent constipation in 12, cuff abscess in 1, anastomosis leak in 1, soiling in 3 and rectal prolapse in 1. In group 2 post operative complications included： transient perianal excoriation in 37 patients （30 were 〈3 months of age）, enterocolitis in 13, anastomotic stricture in 5, recurrent constipation in 6, anastomotic leak in 1, adhesive bowel obstruction in 1 and soiling in 4. Complete bowel continence was found in 97 children （86.6%） in group 1 and in 129 children （92.1%） in group 2 at one year followup after operation. Conclusions Modified transanal Soave pull-through procedure for HD with oblique mucosectomy and anastomosis and a short split muscular cuff is a safe and feasible operation with low incidence of postoperative complication. It is an encouraging improvement of the conventional transanal Soave pull-through procedure. MTSPP is a preferable choice in the surgery of HD.展开更多
