93 Classification of Anal Fistulae

94 Rectal prolapse Mucosal prolapse is more often seen in children below 3 yrs of age following an attack of diarrhoea or whooping cough, and if it occurs in adult is usually associated with haemrrhoids. Complete rectal prolapse is seen more commonly in elderly women who have a habit of excessive straining during defecation. Rectal prolapse is often associated with other conditions such as: * Pinworms(Enterobiasis) * Cystic fibrosis * Malnutrition and malabsorption (Celiac disease) * Constipation * Prior trauma to the anus or pelvic area

95 Rectal prolapse Symptoms:The main symptom is a protrusion of a reddish mass from the anal opening, especially following a bowel movement. Treatment : * Treating the underlying condition * In children, Conservative treatment * The rectal mass may be returned to the rectum manually * Surgical correction for complete rectal prolapse Complications * Constipation * Malnutrition or malabsorption * Other complications of underlying condition

96 Rectal Prolapse Prolapse Evaluation Hemorrhoids Examination on the commode may be crucial

97 Rectal Prolapse Complete Procidentia (Early)

98 Condyloma Acuminata Sexually transmitted Human papilloma virus 66 known types Types 16 & 18 Dysplasia Malignancy 1 million new cases diagnosed annually Etiology

102 Condyloma Acuminata Management Recurrence rates: 8-40% Anal canal lesions present in 35-45% of patients Treatment of perianal lesions without treatment of anal canal lesions and partner(s) is doomed to failure
