Histopathological mimicry in mucosal prolapse.

Mucosal prolapse solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is a condition which has frequently confused both pathologists and surgeons alike. Despite its recognition in the nineteenth century, it continues to be a diagnostic challenge. The significance of correctly diagnosing this condition is that it avoids the morbidity and mortality associated with major surgery or the side-effects of long-term medical treatment. This review considers the histological features of mucosal prolapse and how it may mimic other pathological conditions.

[Rectal stenosis following procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate stenosis of the lower rectum following PPH with special respect to potential predictive factors or stenotic events. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 554 consecutive patients, which underwent PPH from July 2000 to December 2004 was performed. RESULTS: Only patients with follow-up check were evaluated, thus the analysis includes 489 patients (489/554, 88.3%) with a mean follow-up of (324 +/- 18) days. Rectal stenosis was observed in 12 patients (12/489, 2.5%), the median time to stenosis was 89 - 134 (125 +/- 5) days. All the patients complained of obstructive defecation and underwent strictureplasty with electrocautery or balloon dilation through colonoscopy. A statistical analysis revealed that patients with stenosis had significantly more often prior sclerosis therapy for hemorrhoids (58.3% vs. 20.0%, P = 0.02) and severe postoperative pain (25.0% vs. 6.7%, P = 0.003). Other factors, such as gender (P = 0.32), prior surgery for hemorrhoids (P = 0.11), histological evidence of squamous skin (P = 0.77) or revision (P = 0.53) showed no significance. CONCLUSION: Rectal stenosis is an uncommon event after PPH. Early stenosis will occur within the first four months after surgery. The majority of the stenosis can be cured through colonoscopy surgery. The predictive factors for stenosis are previous sclerosis therapy for hemorrhoids and severe postoperative pain.
