Ambulatory proctology Bruno Roche Unit of Proctology University Hospital of Geneva Bruno.Roche@hcuge.ch www.proctology.ch
Advantages Life minimally disturbed Anxiety reduced Less nosocomial infections Earlier return to activities Work time off reduced
Advantages Administrative management Costs of outpatient < inpatient Overall health expenditure reduced Hospital beds for severe cases
Disadvantages Preoperative instructions Preoperative preparation difficulties Transportation problems Assistance at home Necessity of resuscitative back-up Analgesia management

Anesthesia Local anesthesia Posterior perineal block Caudal or rachianesthesia General anesthesia Short duration Low side effects
Goals: - Deep and long-lasting analgesia - Relaxation of the anal canal - Blood-free operative field - No side effects on the bladder - Suppression of vagal reflex - Easy use in outpatients
Local anesthaesia and perineal block: 60 ml 0.5% lidocaine + epinephrine 12 ml Natrium Bicarbonate 8,4 %
Practical organisation No starving No bowel preparation No depilation Premedication only for anxious people Empty bladder and rectum pre-op No venous access for LA and PPB Resuscitation material in the room
Practical organisation The patients receives - Instructions postoperative care - Prescription - Appointment for day 5 Time needed: 60 to 90 minutes
Postoperative management Sit Baths Shower: 3 - 6 x / D Topical wound healing cream: Mitosyl Panthenol Ialugen-Plus
Postoperative management Laxatives: Mucillage Mineral oil Duphalac Anti-inflammatory drugs Painkillers
Postoperative control On day 5 Weekly As necessary No routine digital examination Silver Nitrate if granulation
Possible procedures: Thrombosed haemorroidectomy Haemorroidectomy Sphincterotomy Abscess drainage Fistulectomy Sliding flaps Anoplasty Anal warts excision Low located villous adenoma Sinus pilonidalis

Can we prevent postoperative complications Pain ? Bleeding ? Bladder Retention ? Fecal Impaction ?
Postoperative pain control We can’t determine preoperatively Tolerance of postoperative pain Sensitive person We should routinely : Infiltration long lasting AL Strong painkillers
Pre-emptive analgesia in post operative pain control Double blind randomised study Ropivacaïne vs. Placebo on 100 consecutive perineal surgery in general anaesthesia
Prevention of urinary retention Operation with empty bladder Restriction of fluid administration Posterior Perineal Block < 0.5 %
Prevention of faecal impaction Preoperative diet High fibbers rate Postoperative Paraffin oil daily Osmotic laxatives one week
FUTURE: Quality control studies Evaluation the outcomes Assess patients satisfaction index If patients are not happy indications will never be enlarged
Operative indications enlarged Rectoceles Sphincteroplasty
Better Proct. outpatient surgery: Short anesthesia low of side effects Operative indications increase Overcome postoperative pain Stimulate wound healing
Conclusions: Proctological outpatient surgery can be performed in a safe way: - few complications - high patient satisfaction index
Indications will be enlarged if: General anesthesia shorter and safer Long lasting local anesthesia Better pain killers More effective wound healing drugs
Indications will be enlarged if: Patient satisfaction index high Stimulation from insurances
