There were 201 patients receiving preoperative colonoscopy prior to hemorrhoidectomy in the meanwhile at MMH from July 1984 to June 1988. Other than rectal bleeding, they had colonic symptoms such as anemia, abdominal pain, familiar history of cancer and change of bowel habit etc. The study included 114 male and 87 female with ages ranging from 15 to 74 years (Median, 42 years). Three patients with colonic cancer and twenty-eight patients with neoplastic polyps were found by colonoscopic examination. Three cancer patients all received cancer surgery instead of hemorrhoidectomy as quickly as possible in a short time. One patient died for advanced stage and the other two patients got good results. The literatures were reviewed and discussed in accordance with the colonoscopic finding, operative time, hospital stay, post-operative morbidity and complication. There were not increase the postoperative morbidity in this series which compare with that of other series. The advantages of this procedure included: 1) Preventing suffer from twice colon preparations. 2) Preventing waiting period for Barium enema. 3) Preventing delay diagnosis of colorectal lesions especially colon cancer or precancer lesions of neoplastic polyps. 4) Performing examination and surgery at the same time-money-saving and time-saving. We thought synchronous hemorrhoidectomy with colonoscopy is a worthwhile clinical procedure. |
