    Abstract Background: An alternative approach to lateral internal sphincterotomy in the management of chronic anal fissure is presented and its potential advantages are described.
    Methods: Using the conventional diathermy, the internal sphincter along with its overlying anoderm is cut to the caudal border of the dentate line.
    Results: This prospective study included 350 patients. Twenty-six patients (7.4%) reported spotting of blood with defecation and 266 patients (76%) reported minimal perianal discharge. The cessation of the discharge and spotting of blood correlated with the complete healing of the sphincterotomy wound. Urine retention requiring temporary catheterization was encountered in 19 patients (5.4%). Neither abscesses nor fistulae were encountered. Cure was achieved in all patients. Neither recurrences nor permanent fecal incontinence were encountered throughout the study period.
    Conclusion: The alternative approach is efficient and safe and may be added to the surgeon's armamentarium when attempting lateral internal sphincterotomy for chronic anal fissure.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to present the details and outcomes of laparoscopic and transanal approach in the management of rectal atresia.
    Patients: Two female patients with rectal atresia were operated upon using laparoscopic and transanal approach. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications. Follow-up at 5 and 4 months, respectively, after closure of colostomy has shown both patients with good fecal continence.
    Conclusion: Laparoscopic and transanal approach is a novel and good alternative to the current surgical techniques in the management of rectal atresia.

    Abstract Purpose: We prospectively evaluated the efficacy and durability of combined intradetrusor botulinum-A toxin and endoscopic treatment for vesicoureteral reflux with anal irrigation as a total endoscopic and anal irrigation management approach. This minimally invasive protocol is used to manage myelomeningocele and noncompliant bladder in children who do not respond to standard conservative therapy and have urine and stool incontinence.
    Materials and methods: Ten females and 3 males with a mean +/- SD age of 5.3 +/- 2.5 years with myelomeningocele and vesicoureteral reflux who did not respond to standard conservative treatment were prospectively included in this study. All had at least 1 year of followup. All patients received a cystoscopic intradetrusor injection of 12 U/kg (maximum 300 U) botulinum-A toxin into an infection-free bladder. Vesicoureteral reflux in a total of 20 refluxing ureters, including bilateral vesicoureteral reflux in 7 patients, showed no resolution on pretreatment voiding cystourethrogram. Thus, we administered a submucosal Deflux injection. Since most patients were still diaper dependent due to stool incontinence, we extended management to include complete bowel rehabilitation with the new Peristeen anal irrigation system to manage stool incontinence.
    Results: Mean maximum bladder capacity increased significantly from 75 +/- 35 to 150 +/- 45 ml after 1 month (p <0.02), to 151 +/- 48 after 6 months (p <0.002) and to 136 +/- 32 after 1 year (p <000). Maximum detrusor pressure decreased significantly from 58 +/- 14 to 36 +/- 9 cm H(2)O after 1 month (p <0.001), to 39 +/- 9 after 6 months (p <0.001) and to 38 +/- 6 after 1 year (p = 000). Of 20 refluxing ureters (95%) completely resolved, including 1 after attempt 2, and 1 with grade V vesicoureteral reflux remained unchanged despite 2 attempts. Seven of 8 urinary incontinent patients (87.5%) attained complete dryness between catheterizations and 1 partially improved. Ten of 13 patients achieved stool dryness with anal irrigation 1 to 2 times weekly. Three patients who were stool continent on standard enemas did not require this irrigation system.
    Conclusions: This new total endoscopic and anal irrigation management approach is a comprehensive, minimally invasive, safe, simple, effective way to achieve most goals when treating these patients by protecting the upper tract, maintaining the bladder at safe pressure and providing a satisfactory social life with satisfactory urine and stool continence.

    Abstract Study design: A total of 60 children with myelomeningocele referred to Spina Bifida Center of Rome (31 boys and 29 girls; aged 8-17 years) were treated with transanal irrigation for three months.
    Objective: To investigate whether transanal irrigation is a valid and alternative approach for neurogenic constipation in children with myelomeningocele.
    Methods: A questionnaire on bowel disturbances, quality of life and side effects was completed before the beginning and at the termination of the study.
    Setting: Italy.
    Results: About 60% (36/60) of patients reported relief from constipation and 75% (12/16) for fecal incontinence. Wheelchair-bound and walking patients showed same high improvement of bowel habit. Mean (s.d.) scores before and after the study were: neurogenic bowel dysfunction total score: 17.5 (5.2) versus 8.5 (4.3) (P<0.001); digital stimulation of anorectum: 4.2 (2.8) versus 1.3 (2.5) (P<0.01); frequency of fecal incontinence: 5.5 (1.2) versus 1.3 (1.7) (P<0.01) and degree of general satisfaction: 3.0 (2.4) versus 7.7 (1.5) (P<0.001).We observed a reduction of urinary tract infections during the course of treatment: 14 total urinary tract infections (9 caused by Escherichia coli) before versus 6 (3) during treatment (P<0.01).
    Conclusion: Transanal irrigation in children with myelomeningocele is an alternative and relatively safe approach for managing neurogenic constipation; in fact, it improves bowel disturbances, quality of life and seems to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.

    Abstract Objectives: To present this clinical series to report our initial experience with our technique as an alternative approach for treatment of rectourethral fistulas (RUFs). RUFS are a devastating complication of the urinary tract. The most appropriate approach remains controversial.
    Methods: From March 2002 to August 2007, 8 patients with RUF were referred to our institution. The etiology of the RUF was a fractured pelvis in 2, radical prostatectomy in 1, transurethral resection of the prostate in 1, anterior bowel resection in 1, and a pull-through operation in 3. Of the 8 patients, 5 had undergone urinary diversion and 3 had undergone a previous repair that had failed. They were evaluated and treated using the posterior sagittal approach with rectal mobilization. The fistulas were excised, and both the urethra and rectum were repaired. The inferior half of the gluteus maximus muscle was used as barrier in 5 of the 8 patients. The operative and immediate and late postoperative complications were recorded. The clinical outcome was defined as success when the patients experienced no fecaluria or pneumaturia.
    Results: All 8 patients, with a mean age of 38.7 years, were completely cured of their RUF. The mean operative time was 290 minutes, and the mean blood loss was 637.5 mL. The median hospital stay was 18 days. Early postoperative complications included wound infection in 1 and deep vein thrombosis in 1 patient. One patient developed a late complication of urinary incontinence.
    Conclusions: Our approach is safe, provides excellent exposure, and allows for dissection under direct vision. The gluteus maximus flap is a good, nearby flap that can be used with minimal host morbidity.
