Introduction: Anterior resection (AR) and low anterior resection (LAR) are common surgical procedure for benign or malign
diseases. Some authors have reported following the anterior resection with stapled anastomosis, impairment of anorectal
function deals with insertion of transanal circular stapler which cause direct injury to anal sphincter muscles. We suggest that
anorectal function becomes better with usage dilator on stapler insertion.
Material and methods: A randomized, prospective clinical study was designed in which 40 patients undergoing anterior
resection with stapled anastomosis were undertaken in Ankara University of Medicine, Department of General Surgery
between January 2009 and September 2010. In the Group 1 (n=21); anastomoses were achieved by circular stapler which was
introduced transanally after manuel dilation of anal canal. In the other group (Group 2; n=19) after lubricating anal canal, anal
dilator was introduced to anal canal. Circular stapler was inserted through anal dilator and anastamoses were achieved. Preoperative
and postoperative evaluation was performed with Wexner Incontinence Score, Cleveland Clinic Quality of Life Scala,
anorectal manometry and endoanal ultrasound.
Results: In the Group 1; median age was 60 (range 31 – 70) years-old, and similar for the Group 2; 63 (range 36 – 70) years-old.
There was no statistical difference in age between the groups (p=0,239). There was no statistical difference also in ‘distance of
anastomosis from anal verge’ between the groups (p=0,667). Median measurement for ‘distance of anastomosis from anal
verge’ was 12 (range 8 – 20) cm, similar in the Group 1; 12 (range 8 – 16) cm. No patient had major incontinence in the postoperative
time, but 9 of 40 patients (%22,5) had minor incontinence in all groups. Median Wexner Incontinence Score was 0
(range 0-3) for all patients. There was no statitiscal difference in ‘soiling’, ‘ Wexner Incontinence Score’, ‘alteration of IAS and
EAS morphology’, defecation frequency’ and ‘pad usage’ between the groups (p>0,05; the order of group effect, time effect,
time*group interraction were irrelevant). Quality of life score was higher for all patients in the postoperative time. After the
operation all manometric pressures, functional anal canal length (FAKU) and RAIR (+) were lower in the groups. But mean
resting pressure (MDP) and FAKU measurements were also diminished in the groups, but were better in the Group 2 than
Group 1. There was statistical difference in MDP and FAKU value (p value, respectively; 0,044 and 0,013).
Conclusion: Anorectal manometric parameters were preserved better in the dilator group (Group 2). Better outcome in the
Group 2 was probably dealt with dilator which reflects to force equally, balanced and standardized on the anal canal. The
smaller size and appropriate dilator could be used for best clinical outcome in which wider patients were obtained as similarly
this randomized, prospective study.

Giri: Anterior (AR) ya da aa anterior rezeksiyonlar (LAR); benign ya da malign nedenlerle sklkla bavurulan cerrahi yöntemlerdir.
Anastomoz için stapler kullanlan anterior rezeksiyonlardan sonra anorektal fonksiyonlarda saptanan bozulmann
nedeni olarak ‘stapler uygulanrken anal sfinkterlerin travmatize edilmesinin’ üzerinde durulmutur. ‘Dilatör’ kullanmyla
anterior rezeksiyon ameliyatlarnda postoperatif dönemde anorektal fonksiyonlarn korunmas hedeflenmitir.
Materyal ve Metod: Çalma randomize, prospektif klinik çalma olarak düzenlenmitir. Ankara Üniversitesi Tp Fakültesi
Genel Cerrahi Klinii’nde Ocak 2009 - Eylül 2010 tarihleri arasnda ‘dairesel stapler kullanlmas planlanan’a AR yaplacak olan
hastalar çalmaya alnmtr. Anastomoz aamasnda bir grupta (n=21) ‘parmak dilatasyonu sonras direkt olarak’ dairesel
stapler uygulanmtr (Grup 1). Dier grupta (n=19) ise stapler yerletirilirken ‘anal dilatör’ içerisinden ilerletilmitir (Grup 2).
Hastalarn deerlendirilmesinde preoperatif ve postoperatif dönemlerde; ‘Wexner nkontinans skorlama sistemi’, ‘Cleveland
Clinic yaam kalitesi anketi’, anorektal manometri, endoanal USG kullanlmtr.
Bulgular: Ya bakmndan gruplar arasnda istatistiksel olarak anlaml fark saptanmamtr (p=0,239). Grup 1’de ya için ortanca
deer; 60 (31 – 70), Grup 2’de ise; 63 (36 – 70)’dir. Anastomozun ‘anal verge’den uzakl bakmndan gruplar arasnda
istatistiksel olarak anlaml fark saptanmamtr (p=0,667). Grup 1’de anastomoz hattnn ‘anal verge’den uzakl 12 (8 – 20)
cm’dir, Grup 2’de ise 12 (8 – 16) cm’dir. Hiçbir grupta major inkontinansa rastlanmamtr, toplam 9/40 hastada (%22,5) minör
inkontinans saptanmtr. Tüm hastalar için hesaplanan Wexner inkontinans skoru; 0 (0-3)’dr. Analiz sonuçlarna göre gruplar
arasnda inkontinans varl, ‘soiling’ varl, ped kullanm, Wexner inkontinans skoruinternal anal sfinkterde ve eksternal anal
sfinkterde deiiklik, günlük defekasyon says gibi deikenler için grup etkisi, zaman etkisi ve grup*zaman etkileimi açsndan
istatistiksel olarak anlaml fark saptanmamtr (p>0,05). Cleveland Clinic Yaam Kalitesi Skorunun her iki grupta da postoperatif
dönemde daha yüksek olduu saptanmtr. Postoperatif dönemde manometrik basnç deerleri, RAR pozitiflii ve
FAKU her iki grupta da azalmtr. ODPB deeri ve FAKU’da saptanan azalma; Grup 1’de daha belirgindir. Fark istatistiksel
olarak anlamldr (ODPB ve FAKU için srasyla p=0,044 ve p=0,013).
Sonuç: Dilatör kullanlan grupta (Grup 2) anorektal parametrelerin nispeten daha iyi korunmu olmasnn muhtemel nedeni
sabit bir dilatörün anal kanala yerletirilmesi ile tüm anal kanala eit oranda kuvvetin, daha standart bir yöntemle uygulanm
olmas olarak düünülmütür. Dairesel stapler çapna uygun ve daha küçük çaptaki dilatörler kullanlarak geni hasta serileriyle
oluturulan, benzer ekilde düzenlenmi randomize, prospektif, klinik çalmalarla daha iyi sonuçlar elde edilebilecei düünülmü
tür.
