Evaluation of anatomical and functional aspects of the anal canal and the pubovisceral musculature of women with fecal incontinence.
description CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel Superior === Fecal incontinence has a major impact on quality of life and affects up to 24% of women and vaginal delivery is one of the main risk factors. Patients with this condition require a specialized evaluation for proper patient management. The aim of this study was evaluate the anatomical and functional aspects of the anal canal and pelvic floor using anorectal three-dimensional ultrasonography combined with transvaginal and anorectal manometry in the evaluation of anal sphincters and pubovisceral muscle (MPV) disruptions in incontinent women with vaginal delivery. As well to correlate the severity of symptoms of fecal incontinence with the findings of ultrasound and manometry and establish a new sonographic scoring system for patients with fecal incontinence with muscle injury. Clinical evaluation was performed with the Cleveland Clinic Florida incontinence score (CCF), functional evaluation with anorectal manometry and anatomical assessment with three-dimensional ultrasound. In this study 63 patients were included with a mean age of 61 years. Most patients (35/56%) had intact MPV and sphincter injury. Of the 28 patients who had injury in MPV, 9 (32.1%) had no sphincter injury. The area of the levator hiatus increased significantly in the Valsalva maneuver in patients with lesions in the MPV. The median incontinence score and ultrasonographic score were significantly higher in patients with lesions in the MPV. The average of contraction pressure in the patients with injury MPV was significantly lower than those with intact MPV. A significant correlation between CCF incontinence scores and sonographic scores was found. There was also a significant correlation between incontinence scores and the length of the sphincter as well as in relation to the hiatus area. It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of sphincter and MPV lesions in incontinent women with previous vaginal delivery. In addition, the severity of the fecal incontinence symptoms is significantly related to the defects of these musculature. A new ultrasound score can improve the management of these patients === A incontinÃncia fecal (IF) tem grande impacto na qualidade de vida e afeta atà 24% da populaÃÃo feminina, sendo o parto vaginal um dos principais fatores de risco. As pacientes com esta condiÃÃo necessitam de avaliaÃÃo especializada para seu adequado manejo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar aspectos anatÃmicos e funcionais do canal anal e mÃsculo pubovisceral(MPV) utilizando a ultrassonografia tridimensional (US3D) anorretal combinada com a endovaginal e com a manometria anorretal para a avaliaÃÃo das lesÃes dos esfÃncteres anais e MPV em mulheres incontinentes com parto vaginal prÃvio. AlÃm disto, correlacionar a intensidade dos sintomas de incontinÃncia fecal com os achados ultrassonogrÃficos e estabelecer um novo escore ultrassonogrÃfico para pacientes com IF. A avaliaÃÃo clÃnica foi realizada com o escore de incontinÃncia da Cleveland Clinic Florida(CCF), a avaliaÃÃo funcional com manometria anorretal e a avaliaÃÃo anatÃmica com US3D. Foi realizado um estudo transversal em que foram incluÃdas 63 pacientes com mÃdia da idade de 61 anos. A maioria das pacientes (56%) tinham MPV Ãntegro e lesÃo esfincteriana. Das 28 (44%) pacientes que possuÃam lesÃo no MPV, 9(32,1%) nÃo possuÃam lesÃo esfincteriana. A Ãrea do hiato dos levantadores aumentou significantemente na manobra de Valsalva nas pacientes com lesÃo no MPV. A mediana do escore de incontinÃncia e do escore ultrassonogrÃfico foram significantemente maiores no grupo de pacientes com lesÃo no MPV. A mÃdia da pressÃo de contraÃÃo das pacientes com lesÃo no MPV foi significantemente mais baixa do que as das pacientes com MPV Ãntegro. Foi encontrada correlaÃÃo significante entre os escores de incontinÃncia da CCF e os escores ultrassonogrÃficos. Houve tambÃm correlaÃÃo significante entre os escores de IF e o comprimento dos esfÃncteres assim como em relaÃÃo a Ãrea do hiato. Conclui-se que hà uma alta prevalÃncia de lesÃes esfincterianas e no MPV em mulheres incontinentes com parto vaginal prÃvio. AlÃm disso, a gravidade dos sintomas de IF à significativamente relacionada com os defeitos destas musculaturas. Um novo escore ultrassonogrÃfico pode melhorar o manejo dessas pacientes.
