Abstract

Aim

Perineal defects following the resection of anorectal malignancies are a reconstructive challenge. Flaps based on the rectus abdominis muscle have several drawbacks. Regional perforator flaps may be a suitable alternative. We present our experience of using the gluteal fold flap (GFF) for reconstructing perineal and pelvic defects.

Methods

We used a retrospective chart review and follow-up examinations focusing on epidemiological, oncological (procedure and outcome), and therapy-related data. This included postoperative complications and their management, length of hospital stay, and time to heal.

Results

Twenty-two GFFs (unilateral n = 8; bilateral n = 7) were performed in 15 patients (nine women and six men; anal squamous cell carcinoma n = 8; rectal adenocarcinoma n = 7; mean age 65.5 + 8.2 years) with a mean follow-up time of 1 year. Of the cases, 73.3% were a recurrent disease. Microscopic tumor resection was achieved in all but one case (93.3%). Seven cases had no complications (46.7%). Surgical complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo system (grades I n = 2; II n = 2; IIIb n = 4). These were mainly wound healing disorders that did not affect mobilization or discharge. The time to discharge was 22 + 9.9 days. The oncological outcomes were as follows: 53.3% of the patients had no evidence of disease, 20% had metastatic disease, 20% had local recurrent disease, and one patient (6.7%) died of other causes.

Conclusions

The GFF is a robust, reliable flap suitable for perineal and pelvic reconstruction. It can be raised quickly and easily, has an acceptable complication rate and donor site morbidity, and does not affect the abdominal wall.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Antibiotika bei Erwachsenen mit Appendizitis oft ausreichend

Bei etwa zwei Drittel aller Erwachsenen mit akuter Appendizitis könnte eine antibiotische Behandlung ausreichen, wie eine Metaanalyse nahelegt. Die Komplikationsrate war insgesamt gering, auch wenn letztlich doch eine Op. fällig wurde.

Katheterablation bei Vorhofflimmern: Ist frühe Intervention von Vorteil?

Bei Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern scheinen die Therapieergebnisse bezüglich Rezidivfreiheit bei frühzeitiger Katheterablation besser zu sein als bei später erfolgter Ablation. Dafür sprechen Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Registeranalyse. 

Beugt Tranexamsäure schweren Blutungen auch in der Allgemeinchirurgie vor?

Ergebnisse einer Subgruppenanalyse der POISE-3-Studie sprechen dafür, dass eine Prophylaxe mit Tranexamsäure auch bei allgemeinchirurgischen Eingriffen das Risiko für schwere Blutungen senkt.

Höhere Anspannung vor der Op. führt offenbar zu besserem Ergebnis

Ein gewisses Maß an Stress zu Beginn der Op. wirkt sich möglicherweise positiv auf das Gelingen aus, so ein Team aus Boston. Die Komplikationsrate ging unter diesen Umständen signifikant zurück.
