    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect of anterior sacral roots stimulator implants on bowel function of patients with spinal cord trauma. METHOD: Eight patients with spinal cord injury and constipation had anterior sacral roots stimulator implants inserted for concomitant bladder dysfunction. Questionnaires on bowel function and anorectal manometry tests were given before and after insertion of the implants. RESULTS: Six patients achieved improvement in bowel function. Four of these patients could defecate spontaneously following stimulation. Two patients had no improvement in bowel function. Anorectal manometry studies showed a negative rectoanal pressure difference at the time of stimulation. All patients were unable to defecate during stimulation. Positive rectoanal pressure difference was recorded in the six patients who had improved bowel function. This may be attributable to the slower relaxation of the smooth rectal muscle compared with the easily fatigable striated external anal sphincter. CONCLUSION: Anterior sacral roots stimulator implants can improve bowel function in patients with spinal cord trauma.

    Use of the optical urethrotome knife in the treatment of a benign low rectal anastomotic stricture (1991)

    Notes: Abstract Several methods of treatment for benign anastomotic strictures following anterior resection have been described. Surgical intervention in terms of re-exploration and excision of the stricture or the formation of a permanent colostomy will be accompanied by substantial morbidity. The dilatation of these strictures without direct vision may not be safe. We describe a simple method of treating benign rectal anastomotic stricture using an optical urethrotome knife under direct vision. This technique affords an accurate incision of the stricture to increase the size of the lumen, thereby relieving obstruction.

    CO2 laser haemorrhoidectomy — does it alter anorectal function or decrease pain compared to conventional haemorrhoidectomy? (1995)

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'hemorroïdectomie au laser CO2 est praticable et sûre à la condition que son emploi doit fait avec prudence. L'emploi du laser entraîne une diminution de la consommation d'analgésiques post-opératoires. Le laser CO2 ne cause pas d'altérations significatives dans la physiologie ano-rectale.
    Notes: Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser haemorrhoidectomy is feasible and safe provided it is used with care. It is associated with a reduced requirement for post-operative analgesia. The CO2 laser caused no significant alteration in anorectal physiology.

    Chili—Protective factor against peptic ulcer? (1995)

    Notes: Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency and amount of chili taken by peptic ulcer patients and control subjects. One hundred three Chinese patients with peptic ulcer and 87 control patients were interviewed using a standard questionnaire. Those subjects who deliberately avoided chili use because of symptoms or advice from friends or medical practitioners were excluded. The median number of times of chili use per month was eight in the ulcer group (25–75% quartiles 1–30) compared to 24 (8–56) in the control group (P〈0.001). The median amount of chili used per month was 312 units (25–75% quartiles 38–899) in the ulcer group compared to 834 units (274–1892) in the control group (P〈0.001). The odds ratio of having peptic ulcer disease, adjusted for age, sex, analgesic use, and smoking by multiple logistic regression, was 0.47 (95% confidence intervals: 0.25–0.89) for subjects who had a higher intake of chili both in terms of frequency as well as amount used compared to those who took less chili. Our data support the hypothesis that chili use has a protective effect against peptic ulcer disease.
