Abdominal wall and colo-rectal pathology.

C Houdard, D Guérin

    Annales De Gastroenterologie Et D'Hepatologie
    |November 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Reconstructive surgery for abdominal wall hernias and pelvic organ prolapse can improve colorectal function. Surgical repair using prostheses and pelvic organ fixation can alleviate related functional disturbances.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
    • Pelvic Floor Disorders

    Background:

    • Colorectal functional disturbances can arise from abdominal wall defects and pelvic organ statics disorders.
    • Abdominal hernias and eventrations can reduce intra-abdominal pressure, impacting rectal emptying.
    • Pelvic statics disorders, such as those affecting the cul-de-sac, present complex diagnostic challenges and patient distress.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the surgical management of abdominal wall defects and pelvic organ prolapse.
    • To evaluate the impact of these surgical interventions on colorectal functional disturbances.
    • To present findings on the efficacy of specific surgical techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Reconstructive surgery for abdominal wall hernias and eventrations using large dacron sub-peritoneal prostheses.
    • Surgical treatment for pelvic statics disorders involving high organ fixation and cul-de-sac obliteration.
    • Diagnostic assessment including barium enema during defecation for pelvic organ prolapse evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal wall repair with prostheses restored abdominal pressure, aiding rectal emptying.
    • Surgical interventions improved colorectal function in patients with hernias and pelvic organ prolapse.
    • Objective examination, particularly barium enema, proved crucial for diagnosing pelvic organ disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • Reconstructive surgery of the abdominal wall and pelvic organs can effectively address associated colorectal functional disturbances.
    • Dacron prostheses offer strength for abdominal wall repair, enabling effective muscular contraction.
    • A systematic approach involving objective diagnostic methods and targeted surgical treatment is essential for managing these complex conditions.
