Abstract

Rectal ectasia is a condition characterized by significant dilatation of the rectum. It can be either primary or secondary to distal obstruction. The literature does not clarify the embryo-pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, investigation protocols, or management strategies. A key aspect of diagnosis is to exclude medical causes of constipation and Hirschsprung's disease. Surgical management involves various interventions, but insufficient data support the literature. Here, we describe our experience with two children diagnosed with rectal ectasia. We discuss the presentation, diagnosis, surgical intervention, complications, and the rationale for selecting one procedure over another while reviewing the relevant literature.

儿童直肠扩张:管理的挑战。
直肠扩张是一种以直肠显著扩张为特征的疾病。它可以是原发性或继发于远端梗阻。文献没有阐明胚胎发病机制、诊断标准、调查方案或管理策略。诊断的一个关键方面是排除便秘和先天性巨结肠病的医学原因。手术治疗涉及多种干预措施,但文献资料不足。在这里,我们描述我们的经验与两个儿童诊断为直肠扩张。我们讨论的表现,诊断,手术干预,并发症,并选择一个程序的基本原理,而不是另一个,同时回顾相关文献。
