About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Diverticular Disease and Hemorrhoids" by Lance T. Uradomo, MD, MPH.
This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Diverticular disease and hemorrhoids, two common conditions that affect the digestive system. While they share some similarities, they are distinct conditions with different causes, symptoms, and treatment approaches.
Diverticular disease is a condition in which small pouches, called diverticula, form in the walls of the colon. These pouches are typically asymptomatic, but if they become inflamed or infected, it can lead to a condition known as diverticulitis. Symptoms of diverticulitis include abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits. Treatment may include antibiotics, pain relief, and dietary changes to prevent future episodes.
Hemorrhoids, on the other hand, are swollen veins in the anus or lower rectum. They can be internal or external, and may be caused by straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle. Symptoms of hemorrhoids include pain, itching, and bleeding during bowel movements. Treatment may include over-the-counter medications, such as creams and suppositories, or more invasive procedures, such as rubber band ligation or surgery.

4 Definitions Diverticula – an abnormal pouch or sac opening from a hollow organ (as the colon or bladder) Diverticulosis - the presence of diverticula in the colon Diverticulitis - inflammation or infection of a diverticulum of the colon Diverticular Disease - a disorder characterized by diverticulosis or diverticulitis 2005 Merriam-Webster, Incorporated
Slide 5-

5 Introduction Diverticula form at weak points in the bowel wall Often where vasa recta vessels penetrate the muscle layer Most common in left colon (70-90%) Stone C. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/presentations/100158_1.htm
Slide 6-

6 Epidemiology Prevalence of Diverticula Age < 10% in people under 40 year old 50% to 66% over age 80 Gender Geography Western countries Low prevalence in Asia and Africa Martel J, Raskin J. J Clin Gastroenterol 2008; 42: 1125
Slide 7-

7 Pathophysiology of Diverticula Associations with diets low in dietary fiber and high in refined carbohydrates. Less bulky stools that retain less water and may alter gastrointestinal transit time; Increase intracolonic pressure and make evacuation of the colonic contents more difficult. Other factors: physical inactivity, constipation, obesity, smoking, and treatment with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Jacobs DO, N Engl J Med 2007;357:2057-66
Slide 8-

8 Symptoms of Diverticulosis Most are asymptomatic Some experience crampy pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, bloating, and constipation.
Slide 9-

9 Acute Diverticulitis Most common complication of diverticular disease 10-25% of patients Martel J, Raskin J. J Clin Gastroenterol 2008; 42: 1125

11 Presentation of Acute Diverticulitis Symptoms Left lower quadrant pain Fever Leukocytosis Exam Abdominal tenderness Mass High pitched bowel sounds Rebound
Slide 12-

12 Diagnostic Tests Xray – Free air, perforation CT scan Jacobs DO, N Engl J Med 2007;357:2057-66 Diverticulum Thickening
Slide 13-

13 Diagnostic Tests Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy are typically avoided when acute diverticulitis is suspected because of the risk of perforation. Recommended after approximately 6 weeks, to rule out the presence of other diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Jacobs DO, N Engl J Med 2007;357:2057-66
Slide 14-

14 Treatment of Uncomplicated Acute Diverticulitis Antibiotics Jacobs DO, N Engl J Med 2007;357:2057-66
Slide 15-

15 Treatment of Uncomplicated Acute Diverticulitis Hospitalization Inability to tolerate oral medications and liquids Comorbidities Pain severe enough to require narcotic analgesia Symptoms fail to improve despite adequate outpatient therapy Complicated diverticulitis

16 Complicated Diverticulitis Abscess Peritonitis Obstruction Fistula formation Hemorrhage
Slide 17-

17 Treatment of Complicated Diverticulitis IV antibiotics Bowel rest Analgesia Percutaneous drainage (CT-guided) Surgery
Slide 18-

18 Recurrent Diverticulitis 25% will have more than one attack of acute diverticulitis Parks et al 1969 Recurrence was more virulent and lead to recommendation for elective resection after the second episode in >50year old and after first episode in younger patients. More recent data fails to show worse prognosis in recurrent attacks. American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons: Decision for elective resection is on a case by case basis Sheth et al Am J Gastroenterol 2008; 103: 1550

26 Surgery for Diverticular Hemorrhage Frequency of surgery among patients with severe or massive rectal bleeding from 24 to 78%. 18 – 25% of those requiring transfusions Persistent instability despite aggressive resuscitation demands operative intervention and is necessary Summarized in Young-Fadok T, et al. Colonic diverticular bleeding. Uptodate.com

Slide 31-

31 Hemorrhoids Arise from a plexus of dilated veins arising from the superior and inferior hemorrhoidal veins. Submucosal layer in the lower rectum External or internal: below or above the dentate line.
Slide 32-

32 Classification Grade I: May bulge into the lumen but do not extend below the dentate line. Grade II: Prolapse out of the anal canal with defecation or with straining but reduce spontaneously. Grade III: Prolapse out of the anal canal with defecation or straining, and require the patient to reduce them into their normal position. Grade IV: Irreducible and may strangulate.
Slide 33-

33 Bleeding Painless bleeding usually associated with a bowel movement. Bright red blood coats the stool at the end of defecation. Blood may drip into the toilet or stain toilet paper. Chronic blood losses from hemorrhages can be substantial enough to induce iron deficiency anemia. Bleeding should be investigated: Flexible sigmoidoscopy or anoscopy in low-risk younger patients Colonoscopy
Slide 34-

34 Pruritus Irritation or itching of perianal skin Some patients also complain of mild incontinence or wetness.
Slide 35-

35 Pain Thrombosis, which can occur in both internal and external hemorrhoids. Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids may be associated with excruciating pain. Easily visible, purple, elliptical mass extending from the anal to the perianal skin. Thrombosed internal hemorrhoids may also cause pain, but to a lesser degree than external hemorrhoids. An exception is when internal hemorrhoids strangulate
Slide 36-

36 Therapy:American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) Guidelines Conservative (not generally effective in Grades III, IV) Fiber Meta-analysis of seven controlled trials found a significant and consistent benefit from fiber supplementation in improving bleeding (RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.28-0.68) Also potentially useful: Sitz baths help to relieve irritation and pruritus. In warm water two to three times per day. Topicals Steroids Alonso-Coello P, et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2005;(4):CD004649.
Slide 37-

37 Therapy Minimally invasive Mostly for Internal Grades I, II, III. Band ligation Coagulation Sclerotherapy Cryotherapy
Slide 38-

38 Therapy Surgery For refractory to above Thrombosed external Complications following a standard closed hemorrhoidectomy include urinary retention, urinary tract infection, fecal impaction, delayed hemorrhage, and pain
Slide 39-

39 Therapy In patients with thrombosed external hemorrhoids Either observation or excision. Excision within 48 to 72 hours of the onset of symptoms will result in the most rapid relief of symptoms.
Slide 40-

40 Summary Diverticular Disease Diverticulosis is common and usually asymptomatic. Symptoms range from mild cramping and bowel movement changes to life threatening infection or hemorrhage Diverticulitis is an infection of an diverticulum Uncomplicated cases can be treatment with outpatient oral antibiotics Severe or complicated cases may require hospitalization and invasive therapeutic modalities
Slide 41-

41 Summary Diverticular Bleeding Is a common cause of massive lower GI hemorrhage Colonoscopy and angiography may be diagnostic and therapeutic Surgery is reserved for uncontrolled or refractory cases with best outcomes when the site of bleeding has been localized
Slide 42-

42 Summary Hemorrhoids are common and can cause bleeding, itching, or pain (with thrombosis) Mild cases can be treated with fiber supplements and topical medications. Minimally invasive (endoscopic) techniques are available. Surgery is reserved for severe cases or thrombosis
