- Is there a higher frequency of anal dysplasia and infection by human papillomavirus in Crohn?s disease patients?(2022) GUZELA, V. R.; SOBRADO JR., C. W.; NADAL, S. R.; VILLA, L. L.; MOTA, G. R.; GONCALVES, A. P.; NADAL, C. R. M.; NAHAS, C. S. R.; NAHAS, S. C.The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of dysplasia and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the anal canal of patients with Crohn???s disease (CD) with a control group and assess whether there is a correlation between use of immunosuppressants and anal manifestation of CD. Patients with CD and control individuals were submitted to anal cytology and material collection for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The cytology was classified as normal, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), or high-grade (HSIL). PCR was considered positive or negative according to virus presence or absence. A total of 117 patients were included (54 in the control group and 63 in the CD group, being 32 without and 31 with immunosuppressants). ASCUS and LSIL were found in 25.9 and 22.2% of control patients and 28.6 and 39.7% of CD patients. HPV was identified in 14.8% of the control group and 27% of the CD group. In CD patients, HPV was found in 37.5 and 16.1% of those without and with immunosuppressants, respectively. Patients with perianal involvement had 15.6% of PCR positivity. There was no statistical difference in dysplasia and infection by HPV between the groups. Use of immunosuppressants did not influence the result, but anal manifestation was inversely proportional to viral detection.
- Anoplastia com plicoma sentinela para o tratamento de fissura anal crônica.(2019) SOBRADO JÚNIOR, Carlos Walter; HORA, José Américo Bacchi; SOBRADO, Lucas Faraco; GUZELA, Vivian Regina; NAHAS, Sérgio Carlos; CECCONELLO, IvanABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the long-term results of the correction of chronic anal fissures (CAF) in patients without anal hypertonia using the technique of anoplasty with skin tag flap. Methods: we conducted a prospective study of CAF patients refractory to conservative treatment without anal hypertonia, subjected to anoplasty with the use of anal plicoma to cover the bloody area. We confirmed the absence of anal hypertonia through rectal exam and electromanometry. We applied a visual pain questionnaire and the Cleveland Clinic fecal incontinence score before and after surgery. Results: we followed 15 patients with chronic anal fissure for a mean period of 29 months (12-56). The mean age was 41 years (29-69) and the duration of symptoms ranged from six months to five years. Healing occurred between three and six weeks for 13 patients (86.7%). The other two patients underwent debridement and new anoplasty successfully. No plicoma necrosis or anal stenosis occurred in any patient. The anal incontinence score did not change after the procedure, and all patients reported reduced pain. After 12 months of follow-up, none of the patients presented recurrence or anal incontinence, and 93.3% (14/15) of the patients were very satisfied. Conclusion: fissurectomy and anoplasty with the use of sentinel plie is a safe technique that results in improvement in pain without change of fecal continence and with high satisfaction rates.
conferenceObject Prevalence association between HPV and fistulising perianal Crohn's disease(2020) BOARINI, L. Rodrigues; SOBRADO JR., C. W.; GUZELA, V. R.; GONCALVES, A. Pozzebon; VILLA, L. Lina; NADAL, S. R.; COSTA, A. Da Costa Lino; NAHAS, S. C.- Anorectal Mucosal Melanoma: A Case Report and Literature Review(2021) JUNIOR, Jose Donizeti de Meira; SOBRADO, Lucas Faraco; GUZELA, Vivian M.; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; SOBRADO, Carlos WalterObjective: Rare disease Background: Anorectal mucosal melanoma (AMM) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm, with a 5-year survival rate of 10%. Due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, the diagnosis is often made late. Surgical resection remains the criterion standard for treatment of anorectal melanoma. Case Report: We present the case of an 81-year-old woman presenting with hematochezia, anal secretion, tenesmus, difficulty in defecation, and perianal pain. On physical examination, there was a prolapse of a 5-cm melanocytic nodule in the anal canal, hard on palpation. Biopsy confirmed anorectal melanoma. Staging revealed anal and metastatic disease, with adrenal, lymphatic, and hepatic involvement. As the patient continued to have bleeding, severe pain, and difficulty in defecation, she was submitted to a wide local excision. At 5-month followup, the anal lesion had relapsed, and the patient died 10 months after the procedure. Conclusions: AMM is a rare and extremely aggressive tumor. Symptoms are nonspecific but early diagnosis should be pursued to allow curative treatment. Surgical resection with free margins is the goal of surgical treatment. New therapies are being studied, including immunotherapy, which can improve the dismal prognosis of this rare disease.
- Anorectal diseases in patients with Antiphospholipid syndrome: a cross-sectional study(2020) CUNHA, E.; GUZELA, V; BALBI, G. G. M.; SOBRADO, C.; ANDRADE, D.Background Hemorrhoid disease (HD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints worldwide, affecting 4.4% of the general population in the United States. Since antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) may lead to intra-abdominal thrombosis, one may expect that this condition can impact the risk for HD development. Additionally, as APS patients are more prone to thrombosis and treatment with anticoagulants may increase risk of bleeding, one may also infer that rates of HD complications may be higher in this scenario. Nevertheless, no data in these regards have been published until now. The objective of the present study is to evaluate frequency of HD and describe its complications rates in antiphospholipid syndrome APS patients. Methods We consecutively invited patients who fulfilled APS criteria to undergo proctological examination. After examination, patients were divided in two groups, based on the presence of HD, and compared regarding different clinical manifestations and antiphospholipid profile. We performed the analysis of the data, using chi-square and Mann Whitney U when applicable and considering a significance level of 0.05. Multivariate regression analysis included age and variables withp < 0.10 in the bivariate analysis. Results Forty-one APS patients agreed to undergo proctological examination. All were female and overall median age was 43 (36-49). Seventeen (41.4%) patients were diagnosed with HD, with the following frequency distribution: 7 internal (41.2%), 4 external (23.5%) and 5 mixed hemorrhoids (29.4%). Of the internal hemorrhoids, 5 patients were classified as grade I (71.4%), 1 grade II (14.3%), and 1 grade IV (14.3%). Prior gestation (p = 0.067) and constipation (p = 0.067) correlated with a higher frequency of HD. In multivariate analysis, constipation remained as an important risk factor (OR 3.92,CI95% 1.03-14.2,p = 0.037). Five out of 17 patients (29.4%) reported anal bleeding, but it did not correlate with warfarin dose (p = 0.949). Surgical treatment was indicated for 10 patients (58.8%). Other anorectal findings were anal fissure, plicoma, condyloma and one chlamydial retitis. Conclusion We found an unexpected high frequency of hemorrhoids in APS patients, with a great proportion requiring surgical treatment.
- Local treatment of colostomy prolapse with the MESH STRIP technique: A novel and highly efficient day hospital technique(2020) SOBRADO JUNIOR, Carlos Walter; GUZELA, Vivian Regina; SOBRADO, Lucas Faraco; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; CECCONELLO, IvanOBJECTIVE: Stoma prolapse is an intussusception of the bowel through a mature stoma. It can be caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure, excessively mobile bowel mesentery and/or a large opening in the abdominal wall at the time of stoma formation. It occurs predominantly in loop stomas, and correction methods include conservative modalities, such as local reduction to the prolapsed bowel, or surgical treatment. The purpose of this study was to describe our experience with the treatment of colostomy prolapse using a novel mesh strip technique. METHODS: Between February 2009 and March 2018, ten consecutive male patients underwent correction of colostomy prolapse under local anesthesia by peristomal placement of a polypropylene mesh strip. Operation time, short- and long-term complications, and recurrence rates were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: No postoperative complications, morbidity or mortality were observed. The median length of the prolapse ranged from 6-20 cm, and the median operative time was 30 minutes. The median duration of follow-up was 25 months (range, 12-89 months). No relapse, mesh strip extrusion, local infection or granuloma formation were found. CONCLUSION: A simple, fast, and low-cost operation under local anesthesia using a mesh strip is a valuable option to treat colostomy prolapse.
