Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) combined with oral antibacterials for the prevention of postoperative complications when preparing a patient for anterior rectal resection.Materials and methods: We analyzed shortterm results in 77 patients who had undergone anterior rectal resection for rectal and rectosigmoid junction cancer. Forty five (45) patients were prepared for surgery only with MBP. In 32 patients, in addition to MBP, oral antibacterial agents ciprofloxacin and metronidazole were used preoperatively.Results: The overall rate of postoperative complications was 6.25% (2/32 patients) in the group of combined preparation for surgery and 15.5% (7/45) in the group using only MBP. Surgical wound infection occurred in 1 patient in the combined preparation group and in 4 patients in the MBP only group. There was no anastomotic leak in the combined preparation group, whereas in the MBP only group, anastomotic leak occurred in 2 patients.Conclusion: Combined use of oral antibacterials and MBP before anterior rectal resection makes it possible to achieve an extremely low rate of the colorectal anastomosis leak. Further studies into the efficacy of this preparation regimen are needed, along with their discussion in the professional communities.

Abstract Anastomotic dehiscence (AD) requiring reoperation is the most severe complication following anterior rectal resection. We performed a systematic review on studies that describe AD requiring reoperation and its subsequent mortality after anterior resection for rectal carcinoma. A systematic search was performed on published literature. Data on the definition and rate of AD, the number of ADs requiring reoperation, the mortality caused by AD, and the overall postoperative mortality were pooled and analyzed. A total of 39 studies with 24,232 patients were analyzed. The studies varied in incidence and definition of AD. Systematic review of the data showed that the overall rate of AD was 8.6%, and the rate of AD requiring reoperation was 5.4%. The postoperative mortality caused by AD was 0.4%, and the overall postoperative mortality was 1.3%. We found considerable risk and mortality for AD requiring reoperation, which largely contributed to the overall postoperative mortality.

ĮžangaRektovaginalinė fistulė yra apibūdinama kaip epitelizuota nenormali jungtis tarp tiesiosios žarnos ir makšties. Ši fistulė sudaro apie 5 % visų tiesiosios žarnos ir išangės fistulių. Dažniausios rektovaginalinės fistulės atsiradimo priežastys yra gimdymotraumos, lėtinės uždegiminės žarnų ligos, žema priekinė tiesiosios žarnos rezekcija, hemorojinių mazgų ir dubens srities chirurgija. Gydymo galimybių yra daug: endorektalinis, transvaginalinis ar transperinealinis uždarymas, pažeistos vietos rezekcija,gydymas autologinėmis kamieninėmis ląstelėmis, fistulės drenavimas ar graciloplastika. Esant žemai rektovaginalinei fistulei, Martius lopas yra tinkamas pasirinkimas dėl gerų pooperacinių rezultatų bei mažo donorinės vietos kosmetinio irfunkcinio pažeidimo.Klinikinis atvejisPacientei buvo diagnozuotas žemas tiesiosios žarnos navikas ir po neoadjuvantinės chemoradioterapijos atlikta priekinė tiesiosios žarnos rezekcija bei suformuota prevencinė ileostoma. Tos pačios hospitalizacijos metu ileostoma uždaryta. Pooperaciniu laikotarpiu atsirado rektovaginalinė fistulė. Tuomet pacientė gavo adjuvantinę chemoterapiją. Po jos atlikta graciloplastika ir suformuota ileostoma. Po dviejų mėnesių rektovaginalinė fistulė vėl pasikartojo. Dėl rektovaginalinės fistulėsrecidyvo alikta Martius lopo operacija. Praėjus mėnesiui po operacijos, apžiūrėdamas pacientę chirurgas rektovaginalinės fistulės recidyvo nerado.IšvadosMartius lopo technika naudojant riebalinio audinio lopą yra tinkamas pasirinkimas gydant rektovaginalines fistules.Reikšminiai žodžiai: rektovaginalinė fistulė, Martius lopasThe Martius flap for repair of low rectovaginal fistula: a case reportDonatas Danys, Narimantas Evaldas Samalavičius, Gytis Žaldokas, Edgaras Smolskas BackgroundRectovaginal fistula is defined as an epitheliumlined abnormal communication between the rectum and the vagina. It is reported to represent approximately 5% of all anorectal fistulas. The most common causes of rectovaginal fistulas are obstetric traumas, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, low anterior rectal resection, hemorrhoid and pelvic surgery. There are many treatment options, such as endorectal, transvaginal or transperineal closure, resection of the affected part, treatment with autologous stem cells, seton drainage or graciloplasty. For low fistulas, the Martius flap is referred to as an excellent choice of tissue transfer with no functional and low cosmetic deficit of the donor site.Case reportA patient was diagnosed with low rectal cancer and after neoadjuvantive chemoradiotherapy underwent anterior rectal resection. Preventive ileostomy was made. Later, due to the fluent postoperative progress, ileostomy closure was performed. In the postoperative period, a rectovaginal fistula occurred. Then, the patient was given adjuvantive chemotherapy. After that, graciloplasty for the rectovaginal fistula and ileostomy were performed. After two months, a rectovaginal fistula occurred again, and the Martius flap repair was performed.ConclusionThe Martius flap technique using a fat pad flap is a decent choice for low rectovaginal fistulas. A well vascularised interposition flap between the vagina and the rectum gives good results.Key words: rectovaginal fistula, the Martius flap
