In children treated surgically for first-time perianal abscesses, discovery and excision of concomitant fistulas may also be warranted.
To evaluate children of varying age after incision and drainage of first-time perianal abscesses, examining recurrences rates with and without search for a fistula.
A retrospective review was conducted, analyzing children (ages 0-15 years) treated for first-time perianal abscesses at a tertiary pediatric surgical center, with a minimum follow-up of 6 months.
A total of 104 patients subjected to 112 treatments for first-time perianal abscesses were eligible. Surgical procedures constituted 84 (75%) of treatments, searching for fistulas in 49 (58%). In 34 (69%), fistulas were confirmed and treated. In the surgically treated subset, the recurrence rate was higher if no attempt was made to exclude a fistula (46%), as opposed to confirmed absence of a fistula (27%) or concurrent fistulotomy (9%; p = 0.02). Younger patients showed a higher recurrence rate (12/26; 46%), compared with older counterparts (11/58; 19%) (p = 0.002).
In children surgically treated for first-time perianal abscess, recurrence rates appear to be lowered by locating and treating coexisting fistulas.
对于首次接受肛周脓肿手术治疗的儿童,也可能有必要发现并切除同时存在的肛瘘。
评估首次肛周脓肿切开引流术后不同年龄段儿童,比较有无探查肛瘘情况下的复发率。
进行一项回顾性研究,分析在一家三级儿科手术中心接受首次肛周脓肿治疗的0至15岁儿童,随访时间至少6个月。
共有104例接受112次首次肛周脓肿治疗的患者符合条件。手术治疗占84次(75%),其中49次(58%)探查了肛瘘。34例(69%)确诊并治疗了肛瘘。在手术治疗亚组中,未尝试排除肛瘘时复发率较高(46%),而确诊无肛瘘时复发率为(27%),同时进行肛瘘切开术时复发率为(9%;p = 0.02)。与年龄较大的儿童(11/58;19%)相比,年龄较小的儿童复发率较高(12/26;46%)(p = 0.002)。
对于首次接受肛周脓肿手术治疗的儿童,发现并治疗并存的肛瘘似乎可降低复发率。
