The radiographic appearance of the endorectal pull-through
Pediatric Radiology(1986)
摘要
Children and young adults with ulcerative colitis and polyposis syndromes requiring colectomy are increasingly undergoing
the endorectal pull-through procedure. We reviewed the contrast studies of the neorectum of 27 patients and the abdominal
radiographs in 26 patients after the endorectal pull-through operation. Normal features included smooth mucosa with loss of
the small bowel features, dilatation of the neo-rectum on consecutive examinations, and an enlarged presacral space. The normal
appearance before closure of the ileostomy varied depending upon the amount of distension of the pull-through segment; redundant
ileum within the rectal muscle sleeve was seen in the two patients. Abnormalities included rectovaginal fistulas, sinus tracts,
focal strictures requiring dilatation, complete obstruction, mucosal irregularities, and generalized narrowing with lack of
distensibility. These abnormalities are attributable to inflammation and were associated with a poor clinical outcome. A contrast
examination of the pull-through segment is useful to exclude the presence of serious inflammatory change before ileostomy
closure or in the patient with excessive diarrhea or obstruction.
