Objective:To investigate the effect of modified transanal approach in the repair of vesicorectal fistula after radical prostatectomy.Methods:From September 2011 to December 2019, 32 cases of vesicorectal fistula after radical prostatectomy were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent cystostomy before repair operation. The average diameter of the fistulas was 19 (3-40) mm. There was only one fistula in 24 cases and 8 cases with more than 2 fistulas. The operation was performed in the jack knife position, and the fistula was prepared by resection of the fistula through the anus with bipolar resectoscope. Then bladder wall and rectum wall were separated by the loop and sutured respectively. After operation, the patients were treated with antispasmodic and anti-infective treatment, and the catheter was retained. Cystography and cystoscopy were reexamined 3 months after operation. Catheter was removed in the successful cases, and the failure was repaired again.Results:All operations were completed successfully. The mean operation time was 67(55-125) min, and the median follow-up was 22 (6-30) months. Thirty-one cases (96.8%) were successfully repaired, of which 25 cases were successfully repaired at the first operation, and 6 cases were successfully repaired again (all by transanal route). One case failed to be repaired. He had received external pelvic radiotherapy before operation. After the failure of repair, cystoscopy showed large fistula and stiff surrounding tissue. Then bilateral ureteral skin stoma and cystectomy were performed.Conclusions:Modified transanal approach in the repair of vesicorectal fistula after radical prostatectomy is an effective method. This kind of operation has less trauma, fewer complications and can be operated repeatedly. It is suitable for patients with low position, small fistula and without radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features and therapeutic approach of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by transverse myelitis (TM).
METHODSThe clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, treatment and prognosis of 6 SLE cases with TM were retrospectively analyzed with review of the literatures.
RESULTSThe 6 patients consisted of 5 females and 1 male aged 14 to 36 years (mean 23 years). The mean duration from symptom onset of SLE to TM was 8 months (1 to 13 months). All the patients had lower limb hypodynamia, and 3 of them developed upper limb hypodynamia. MRI scanning of the spine identified lesions in the cervical spinal cord in 2 cases, thoracic lesions in 3 cases, and multiple involvement of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar cord in 1 case. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid yielded no specific findings except for leukocytosis in 1 case and hypoglycemia in another. Five cases were treated with high-dose MP+CTX, and the other case was treated with MP (80 mg/day)+CTX. Five patients responded favorably to the treatment, while the other showed no obvious improvement.
CONCLUSIONTM is a rare complication of SLE affecting mostly young patients and occurring in the early stage of the disease. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment might improve the prognosis.
