Anal complications in Crohn's disease.

Anal fissures, fistulas, and abscesses occurred as complications in 22 per cent of our population of 1,098 patients with Crohn's disease. Crohn's colitis was much more frequently associated with an anal lesion than Crohn's disease of the small bowel (52 per cent vs. 14 per cent). When an anal lesion is the manifesting sign, Crohn's disease will soon develop elsewhere in the intestine. Since these lesions frequently herald the onset of intestinal Crohn's disease, the physician must always be aware of the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease when dealing with suspicious anal lesions.

Classic articles in colonic and rectal surgery. A new method of excising the two upper portions of the rectum and the lower segment of the sigmoid flexure of the colon -- by H. Widenham Maunsell.

H. W. Maunsell was born in Dublin in 1847 and obtained his degree from the College of Surgeons in 1867. He went to Melbourne the following year and became resident medical officer at the Melbourne Hospital. Following this appointment he took a similar post in Hokitika, New Zealand. After a short period of private practice he returned to Europe, receiving his M.D. degree at his old University in 1876. He returned to New Zealand, settling at Dunedin, and ultimately held the post of honorary surgeon to that hospital. In 1892 he reemigrated to the South Kensington section of London, devoting his efforts to writing, lecturing and illustrating. He was quite well known as a very fine artist and supplemented his surgical lectures with his own beautifully illustrated drawings. He was an innovative surgeon and is credited with original concepts in the technique of intra-abdominal hysterectomy. He was elected to the fellowship of the British Gynecological Society in 1889, and was appointed a Councillor in 1893. The article which is reproduced in this Classics section represents one of the earliest descriptions of the abdomino-anal pull-through procedure for carcinoma of the rectum. It was said that "the Maunsell Method will be at least more frequently employed, if it does not eventually displace the other procedure, i.e., Murphy's operation for intestinal anastomosis." Maunsell died on February 21, 1985, from bronchitis following influenza, at the age of 48.

Follow-up evaluation of gracilis muscle transposition for fecal incontinence.

Fourteen gracilis muscle transpositions were performed on 13 patients. Long-term follow-up study (mean, 22 months) revealed good to excellent results in patients who sustained trauma to the sphincter or who had a history of a congenital anorectal anomaly. Patients with neurologic impairment and bowel management difficulties, which antedated the transposition, did less well or poorly.
