HaemorrhoidsBack Ground • They are part of the normal anoderm cushions • They are areas of vascular anastamosis in a supporting stroma of subepithelial smooth muscles. • The contribute 15-20% of the normal resting pressure and feed vital sensory information . • 3 main cushions are found • L lateral • R anterior • R posterior • But can be found anywhere in anus • Prevalence is 4% • Miss labelling by referring physicians and patients is common This combination is only in 19%
HaemorrhoidsPathogensis 3 main processes: 1. Increased venous pressure 2. Weakness in supporting fibromuscular stroma 3. Increased internal sphincter tone Risk Factors
HaemorrhoidsInvestigations: • Lab: CBC / Clotting profile/ Group and save • Proctography: if rectal prolpse is suspected • Colonoscopy: if higher colonic or sinister pathology is suspected
Complications • Ulceration • Thrombosis • Sepsis and abscess formation • Incontinence Thrombosed internal haemorrhoids Thrombosed external haemorrhoids
HaemorrhoidsExternal H. Treatment : • If presentation less than 72 hours: • Enucleate under LA or GA • Leave wound open to close by secondary intension • Apply pressure dressing for 24 hours post op • If more than 72 hours: • Conservative measures
Perianal Fistula and Abscess 5% 60% 5% Ischiorectal 20% Intersphincteric suprasphincteric extrasphincteric Trans-sphincteric
Peri-anal FistulaClinical presentation Godsalls law Anterior: drain straight Posterior: drain curved to anorectal midline • Follow 40-60% of perianal abscess and cryptgland infections • Presentation: • External openings • Purulent discharge • Blood • Perianal pain
Perianal AbscessManagement Aim: adequate drainage of abscess preservation of sphincter function * Preop: full lab evaluation *Always perform Examination under GA ( EUA) and obtain a biopsy.
Perianal fistulaManagment Aim: Define anatomy Eliminate tract preservation of sphincter function * Preop: full lab evaluation *Always perform Examination under GA ( EUA) and obtain a biopsy.
Anal Fissure • Linear tears in the anal mucosa exposing the internal sphincter • 90% are posterior • Caused mainly by trauma ( hard Stool). Followed by increased sphincter tone and ischemia. • Other causes: IBD, Ca, Chronic infections
Pilonidal Sinus Pathogenesis: A sinus tract at natal cleft resulting from: • Blockage of hair follicle • Folliculitis • Abscess followed by sinus formation. • Hair trapping • Foreign body reaction • The sinus tract is cephald Associated with: • Caucasians • Hirsute • Sedentary occupations • Obese • Poor hygeine
Presentation & Treatment • Also found: umbilicus, finger webs, perianal area
