Özet
Background We evaluated the data of our patients who experienced rectal injury during radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods We analyzed the data for the 7 patients (6 perineal, 1 retropubic) with iatrogenic rectal injury who were selected from 451 patients with RP (218 retropubic, 233 perineal) operated in our clinic between 2003 and 2011. Results The mean age of the 7 patients was 64.4 years. Rectal injury occurred during prostatic apical dissection in 4 patients, during dissection of Denonvilliers fascia in 1 patient, during transection of the rectourethral muscles in 1 patient, and during dissection of the rectal region proximal to the anal sphincter in 1 patient. The mean size of the lesions was 2 (1-4) cm. All of the rectal injuries were recognized during the operation, and double-layered sutures were used for the primary repair. None of the cases required colostomy procedure. No postoperative complications were encountered in 6 of the patients; however, 1 patient underwent a second operation on the following day due to detachment at the injury site. None of the patients displayed urethrorectal fistula, urinary ncontinence or urethral stricture. Conclusion Primary repair with double-layered suturing is sufficient for the treatment of rectal injuries that occur during RP if they are recognized intraoperatively.
