Anale Schmerzen sind häufig in der Proktologie. Eine detaillierte Anamnese der Schmerzen und die klinische Untersuchung führen meistens zur Diagnose und damit zur unmittelbaren Therapie. Die akute Perianalvenenthrombose soll innerhalb 72 Stunden exzidiert werden. Akute Analfissuren werden konservativ mit Stuhlregulation und sphinktertonus-senkender Medikation sehr erfolgreich therapiert. Die chronische Analfissur muss meistens operiert werden. Perinalabaszesse können häufig in Lokalanästhesie abgedeckelt werden. Die proctalgia fugax und das levator ani syndrome sind Auschlussdiagnosen und werden symptomatisch therapiert.

Childbirth-related injuries are one of the main causes of pelvic floor dysfunction. To attempt to avoid serious tears during delivery, an episiotomy can be performed. In this study, we intended to investigate the biomechanical performance of the pelvic floor muscles after performing different episiotomies using a physics-based computational model which includes the pelvic floor muscles and the fetus. Previous biomechanical studies have analysed the mechanical effects of single incisions of different lengths; in this study, we intend to analyse the implications of multiple small incisions, evaluating the reaction forces, the stress on the muscles and the loss of tissue integrity sustained by the pelvic floor. The obtained results predict that an episiotomy delivery reduces the likelihood of macroscopic levator trauma by decreasing the stress on the region of insertion of the rectal area of the levator ani in the symphysis pubis . From the mechanical point of view, multiple incisions do not bring benefits compared to larger incisions. However, nothing can be ascertained about the clinical benefit of such an approach.

Abstract Introduction and hypothesis We aimed to summarize the knowledge on the pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) generated in animal models. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and the Web of Science to establish what animal models are used in the study of suggested risk factors for the development of POP, including pregnancy, labor, delivery, parity, aging and menopause. Lack of methodologic uniformity precluded meta-analysis; hence, results are presented as a narrative review. Results A total of 7426 studies were identified, of which 51 were included in the analysis. Pregnancy has a measurable and consistent effect across species. In rats, simulated vaginal delivery induces structural changes in the pelvic floor, without complete recovery of the vaginal muscular layer and its microvasculature, though it does not induce POP. In sheep, first vaginal delivery has a measurable effect on vaginal compliance; measured effects of additional deliveries are inconsistent. Squirrel monkeys can develop POP. Denervation of their levator ani muscle facilitates this process in animals that delivered vaginally. The models used do not develop spontaneous menopause, so it is induced by ovariectomy. Effects of menopause depend on the age at ovariectomy and the interval to measurement. In several species menopause is associated with an increase in collagen content in the longer term. In rodents there were no measurable effects of age apart of elastin changes. We found no usable data for other species. Conclusion In several species there are measurable effects of pregnancy, delivery and iatrogenic menopause. Squirrel monkeys can develop spontaneous prolapse.
