Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

1.7K
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,...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

3.1K
Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Summary

Early urinary catheter removal after laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery is feasible, with 29.1% of patients experiencing bladder dysfunction. Two scoring systems predict this outcome using age, male gender, and anastomosis level.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Postoperative bladder dysfunction is a common complication following rectal cancer surgery.
  • This often necessitates prolonged urinary catheter drainage, impacting patient recovery.
  • Early catheter removal is desirable but requires careful risk assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of early urinary catheter removal after laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.
  • To develop and validate scoring systems for predicting postoperative bladder dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective observational study included 110 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.
  • Urinary catheters were removed on postoperative day 1.
  • Two scoring systems were developed to predict bladder dysfunction based on identified risk factors.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of postoperative bladder dysfunction was 29.1%.
  • Risk factors for bladder dysfunction included age ≥ 65 years, male gender, and low anastomosis level (< 6 cm).
  • Two predictive scoring systems demonstrated varying sensitivity and specificity, with one achieving 96.9% sensitivity and 63.6% accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Early catheter removal following laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery is feasible.
  • The developed scoring systems, utilizing age, male gender, and anastomosis level, can predict postoperative bladder dysfunction.
