Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

108
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

65
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:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Adult intussusception (AI) is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction, characterized by bowel telescoping.
  • Nonspecific symptoms in AI often complicate preoperative diagnosis.
  • This study details institutional experience with AI presentation and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation and management strategies for adult intussusception.
  • To analyze surgical outcomes and identify challenges in diagnosing AI.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 10 adult intussusception cases from January 2015 to December 2024.
  • Data collected from medical records and analyzed for demographics, symptoms, and outcomes.
  • Surgical interventions and their success rates were documented.

Main Results:

  • Ten cases of AI were managed, with equal male and female distribution (1:1 ratio).
  • Ileocolic intussusception was most common (40%), often presenting with subacute symptoms (60%).
  • Surgery was performed on all patients, with adenocarcinoma identified as a lead point in 10%.

Conclusions:

  • Adult intussusception is infrequent, affecting both sexes equally.
  • Surgical treatment is the standard approach for AI.
  • Early diagnosis through high clinical suspicion and imaging is crucial for successful AI management.
