SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR ANAL FISSURE COMBINED WITH HEMORRHOIDS

Objective. Simultaneous surgical treatment of patients with anal fissure and hemorrhoids improves the results of treatment of these patients.
Methods. 177 patients with anal fissure and hemorrhoids were studied. GI – fissure excision and hemorrhoidectomy, GII – anal fissure excision without intervention for hemorrhoids, GIII – proposed method used. Result assessment by following criteria: pain intensity, urinary retention, wound suppuration, recurrence, incontinence, hospital stay. For assessment of blood flow intensity in fissure area Laser Doppler flowmetry was performed.
Results. Pain intensity: GI – 8±1, GII – 6±2, GIII – 4±1. Urinary retention: GI – 19(31.6%), GII – 8(13%), GIII – 6 (10.5%). Wound suppuration: GI – 5 (8.3%), GII – 1 (1.7%), GIII – 1 (1.7%). Days of hospital stay: GI – 6±1.2, GII – 4±1.3, GIII – 3±1.1. Fissure recurrences: GI – 5 (8.3%), GII – 2 (3.3%), GIII – 1 (1.7%). Recurrence of hemorrhoids: GI – 6 (10%), GIII – 2 (3.5%). Iatrogenic incontinence: GI – 4 (6.7%), GII –
1 (1.7%), GIII – 0. We observed significant decrease in relative risk of complications (by 88%) in GIII compared with GI – OR=0.12 (0.04-0.29), p=0.0001, and a tendency to reduction of complication risk by 15% compared with GII – OR=0.85 (0.29-2.4), p=0.734. Blood flow intensity (flowmetry results) in GII and GIII was comparable.
Conclusion. Surgical treatment of patients with a combination of anal fissure and hemorrhoids by combining fissure excision with transanal hemorrhoidal deartherialization improves treatment outcomes. Surgical treatment of patients with anal fissure combined with hemorrhoids, by the proposed method can improve treatment results. This method does not impair blood flow in the area of anal fissure. Thus, the proposed method is both minimally invasive and radical. Therefore it can be easily implemented in surgical practice.
