    Insights

    A new conservative treatment approach for pediatric rectal prolapse has been developed. This method achieved excellent results in 98.9% of children, offering a highly effective non-surgical solution.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Functional Bowel Disorders

    Background:

    • Rectal prolapse in children is a condition affecting the rectoanal zone.
    • The sphincter apparatus plays a crucial role in managing rectal prolapse.
    • Conservative measures are often the first line of treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a comprehensive set of conservative measures for pediatric rectal prolapse.
    • To assess the efficacy of the developed treatment complex.

    Main Methods:

    • Functional investigations of the rectoanal zone and rectal sphincter apparatus in children with prolapse.
    • Implementation of a specifically designed complex of conservative measures.
    • Clinical observation and outcome assessment of patients.

    Main Results:

    • The developed conservative measures demonstrated high effectiveness.
    • Good and satisfactory results were achieved in 98.9% of pediatric patients.
    • The treatment complex successfully addressed functional issues of the rectoanal zone.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel conservative treatment strategy is effective for pediatric rectal prolapse.
    • The developed complex of measures offers a high success rate for non-surgical management.
    • Functional investigations informed the development of this successful therapeutic approach.

    Drugs for Treatment of Constipation-Predominant IBS

    Pharmacological therapies for IBS-C are designed to alleviate abdominal discomfort and enhance bowel function. In patients with IBS-C, fiber supplements may help soften stools and decrease straining, but may also lead to increased gas production and bloating. Osmotic laxatives like milk of magnesia are frequently used to soften stools and increase stool frequency in IBS-C patients. In addition, two drugs approved for use in severe IBS-C adult cases are linaclotide (Linzess) and lubiprostone...
    Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

    Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

    Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
    Rectal Inspection
    Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

    Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
    Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

    Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

    Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
    Sigmoidoscopy
    Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
    Intestinal Obstruction II: Pathophysiology01:07

    Intestinal Obstruction II: Pathophysiology

    Intestinal obstruction triggers a series of physiological responses, starting with gas and fluid accumulation in the bowel segment proximal to the obstruction, leading to distension. This distended intestine compresses the diaphragm, hindering lung expansion and potentially leading to reduced respiratory effort, atelectasis, and pneumonia.To overcome the blockage, the gut intensifies contractions, causing colicky abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, which reduces fluid and food intake and...
    Diverticular Disease of the Colon01:27

    Diverticular Disease of the Colon

    Diverticular disease involves the formation of diverticula—small sac-like outpouchings of the colonic wall—and their complications. It most commonly affects the sigmoid colon due to higher intraluminal pressure and structural vulnerability. It results from structural weakness and increased pressure in the colon, producing pseudodiverticula that may remain silent or progress to inflammation and serious complications.Structure of DiverticulaIn diverticulosis, these outpouchings are...
