In 2000 few innovative minds took the challenge and allowed themselves to explore the break- through surgical possibilities that this new Da Vinci Surgical System had to offer. They established a niche of professionals who dedicated their time to a vision of the future. They were followed by patients that realized the incredible benefits that a robotic approach, versus an open traditional one, can bring in most of the surgical procedures. Dr. Pier C. Giulianotti, a pioneer in robotic surgery, who understood that is not just another way to operate but a much better option in many circumstances, joined The University of Illinois at Chicago, a little over a year ago. With him on board, in a relatively short time, “The possibility of offering all patients, especially transplant donors, a UIC has developed the largest robotic general surgery program in the perfect minimally invasive operation, increasing the accuracy of the United States.

Medical Director, CRH Medical Corp; 2. Minnesota Gastroenterology, Chief of Gastroenterology, Abbott-Northwestern Hospital, Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Minnesota Abstract symptomatic hemorrhoids and anal fissures are very common problems. This article provides a review of the anatomy and physiology of the anorectum along with a discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids and the commonly associated matters of anal sphincter spasm and fissures. The various office treatment modalities for hemorrhoids are discussed, as are the specifics of rubber band ligation (rBL), and a strategy for the office treatment of these problems by the gastroenterologist is given. The crh o’regan system™ is a technology available to the gastroenterologist that provides a safe, effective, and efficient option for the non-surgical treatment of hemorrhoids in the office setting.

  • Anal Cancer Anal Cancer, Also Known As Anal Carcinoma, Is Cancer of the Anus
    Anal Cancer Anal cancer, also known as anal carcinoma, is cancer of the anus. To help diagnose this condition, your doctor will perform a digital rectal exam and anoscopy. An MRI, CT, PET/CT, or an endoanal ultrasound may also be ordered by your doctor. Depending on the size, location, and extent of the cancer, treatments may include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. What is anal cancer? Anal cancer is a cancer that begins in the anus, the opening at the end of the gastrointestinal tract through which stool, or solid waste, leaves the body. The anus begins at the bottom of the rectum, which is the last part of the large intestine (also called the colon). Anal cancer usually affects adults over age 60 and women more often than men. More than 8,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with anal cancer each year. Anal cancer symptoms may include changes in bowel habits and changes in and around the anal area, including: bleeding and itching pain or pressure unusual discharge a lump or mass fecal incontinence fistulae. Some patients with anal cancers do not experience any symptoms. Some non-cancerous conditions, such as hemorrhoids and fissures, may cause similar symptoms. How is anal cancer diagnosed and evaluated? To diagnose the cause of symptoms, your doctor may perform: Digital rectal examination (DRE): Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): This test examines the lower rectum and the prostate gland in males to check for abnormalities in size, shape or texture. The term "digital" refers to the clinician's use of a gloved lubricated finger to conduct the exam.

  • Is Digital Rectal Exam Reliable in Grading Anal Sphincter Defects?
    DOI: 10.1590/S0004-28032016000400006 ARQGA/1864 IS DIGITAL RECTAL EXAM RELIABLE IN GRADING ANAL SPHINCTER DEFECTS? Marcelo de Melo Andrade COURA, Silvana Marques SILVA, Romulo Medeiros de ALMEIDA, Miles Castedo FORREST and João Batista SOUSA Received 7/7/2015 Accepted 14/8/2015 ABSTRACT - Background - Anal sphincter tone is routinely assessed by digital rectal examination in patients with fecal incontinence, although its accuracy in detecting sphincter defects or separating competent from incompetent muscles has not been established. Objective - In this setting, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of digital rectal examination in grading anal defects in order to sepa- rate small from extensive cases as depicted on 3D endoanal ultrasound, using a scoring sphincter defect and correlate anal tone to anal pressures. Methods - Women with fecal incontinence were divided into two groups: small or extensive defects according to the ultrasound scoring system. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of digital rectal examination in grading global and external sphincter defects were calculated. Anal tone at digital rectal examination was compared to resting and incremen- tal pressures. Results - A cohort of 76 consecutive incontinent women were enrolled. The median Wexner score was 9. Sixty-eight showed sphincter defects on 3D endoanal ultrasound. Anal tone at digital rectal examination was considered abnormal in 62 cases. Abnormal digital rectal examination showed a sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 27.78% in distinguishing small from extensive defects of both sphincters. Five out of eight women with no sphincter defects had only abnormal squeeze tone at digital rectal examination. Abnormal squeeze tone at digital rectal examination had a sensitivity of 65.31% in distinguishing small from extensive external anal sphincter defects.
