Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a chronic benign disease with an unclear pathogenesis and wide range of macroscopic changes sigmoid colon wall, without any specific clinical symptoms. Its detection differential diagnosis tumors inflammatory bowel often challenging. The aim was to assess the entire spectrum SRUS manifestations, as well analyze possibilities ultrasound other imaging moda...

In this chapter, I briefly review the evaluation and management of common benign conditions affecting the rectum, the anus, and the perineum: hemorrhoidal disease, anal fissures, anorectal abscesses and fistulas, pilonidal disease, hidradenitis suppurativa, pruritus ani, and solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS). For proper diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, an understanding of the re...

patients with solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (srus) come to a physician with passage of mucus and bloody liquid within defecation. the treatment for srus is depended to the severity of symptoms and the existance of rectal prolapse. this study is a report of the assessing of rectopexy as surgical modalities for 62 medical treatment resistant srus patients who were referred to the gastrointestina...

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is an uncommon poorly understood benign disorder of defecation. SRUS may simulate other disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease andneoplasms. Histopathological analysis forms the cornerstone of diagnosis for SRUS.Key histological features include fibromuscular obliteration of the lamina propria with splaying of the muscularis mucosae upward between the...

It usually presented as bleeding, constipation, copious mucous discharge, prolonged excessive straining, tenesmus, lower abdominal pain, localized pain the perineal area, feeling of incomplete defecation rarely prolapse.The underlying etiology not well k...

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is an unusual disorder of childhood, which usually presents with rectal bleeding, mucous discharge, prolonged straining, tenesmus, and localized pain in the perineal area. After the first description by Cruveilhier, Madigan and Morson further detailed the clinical and pathologic features of SRUS in 1969. The pathogenesis of the syndrome is not well-understo...

AIMS The aim of the study was to determine if there is a permanent disorder of mucosal blood flow in patients with solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) or a disorder related to autonomic gut innervation and physiological function that is reversible concomitant with successful treatment. Rectal mucosal blood flow was used as a validated measure of extrinsic autonomic nerve function. METHODS S...

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a chronic, multiform, non-cancerous disorder of the rectum, the final diagnosis of which is based upon histopathological criteria. This disorder is often accompanied by latent proctoptosis. We present a patient who (in 1996) was the first case in which argon plasma coagulation (APC) was used for SRUS treatment. In the years 2004-2005 the same patient und...

We experienced two unusual cases of tumor-like polypoid lesions involving the rectosigmoid colon. They could not be readily classified into any well known polypoid tumors of the rectosigmoid colon, but appeared to have some similarities to the previously documented "eroded polypoid hyperplasia (EPH)". A collective review of our seven cases of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS), which proved ...
