spondyloarthropathy, genetic keratin disorders and acne. HS prevalence in patients diagnosed with IBD ranges from 1.8% to
12.8%. In a review of 61 patients diagnosed
with anal HS, 24 patients (39%) had a con­current diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. Diagnosis of HS in the presence of anal stu­las can be challenging, but usually these stu­las are limited to the distal two thirds of the anal canal when secondary to HS.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising in the setting of HS is fairly uncommon but has been reported in the literature and is associ­ated with a worse prognosis and eventual mortality. The incidence of SCC in patients with chronic perianal HS is 3.2%. This rela­tively high incidence specially in perianal HS most likely reects the fact that patients do not always seek treatment and diagnosis can be challenging, leading to a late diagnosis of perianal disease. Due to the increased mor­bidity and mortality, the nal diagnosis should be conrmed with the surgical pathol­ogy, and SCC should be kept in mind in patients with longstanding severe HS.Rarely perianal HS can extend to sacrum. In such cases management can become challenging and requires multidisciplinary approach including colorectal, spine/orthopedic and plastic surgery.
F. HS is a chronic, relapsing disorder that
requires long-term treatment. Management depends on the disease stage and patient pref­erences. Warm compresses and topical clean­ing agents can be used to relieve pain and clean affected areas in early lesions. Life style modications including weight loss, smoking cessation and diet modications might benet patients with Hurley stage I.Patients with Hurley stage I and II are can­didates for medical treatment. Topical anti­biotherapy with Clindamycin has shown to reduce the number of lesions in patients with Hurley I and mild II disease. Systemic anti­biotherapy with tetracycline or clindamycin­rifampin regimens are usually suggested for widespread and severe disease. Combination therapy with clindamycin and rifampin has shown to decrease patient Sartorius scores with a partial or complete improvement of HS. Many studies have reported clinical improvement with adalimumab (a fully human, IgG1 monoclonal antibody specic

for TNF-α) and iniximab (a chimeric human, IgG1 monoclonal antibody specic for TNF-α) in patients with moderate to severe disease, but some found no benet. Recently published results of two Phase 3 tri­als (double blind, placebo-controlled periods) showed that adalimumab use for moderate to severe HS improved clinical response by week 12 when compared to placebo. It is important to note, however, that none of the patients enrolled in those studies achieved a complete response after adalimumab treat­ment. Recurrence rates ranges from 43% to 71% during long-term follow up after inix­imab and adalimumab use, respectively. The immunosuppressive nature of these medica­tions requires a comprehensive assessment before treatment to prevent possible infec­tious complications. Other treatment options including cyclosporine & tacrolimus (Calcineurin inhibitors, immunosuppressive), anakinra (IL-1 inhibitor), methotrexate (immunosuppressive), azathioprine (purine antagonist-immunosuppressive), colchicine (anti-inammatory) and ustekinumab (IL­12/23 inhibitor) have not been studied exten­sively, and further randomized clinical trials are needed.
There are no consistent clinical data to support the use of retinoids (Vitamin A deri­vate; isotretinoin, acitretin) as monotherapy in the management of HS.
G. Different surgical procedures are available
for patients with disease resistant to medical treatment or those for with recurrent disease. Patients with widespread disease (Hurley stage III) should also be evaluated for surgi­cal resection. Local incision and drainage can be used to relieve pain in acute disease with little benet in long-term management due to high recurrence rates. In patients with sepsis and abscesses, antibiotherapy accom­panied by abscess drainage should be consid­ered prior to denitive surgical treatment. Unroong and scanner-assisted carbon diox­ide laser therapies are good options for patients with recurrent lesions in xed areas to preserve healthy tissue around the lesions. They can be performed in an ofce setting
under local anesthesia and are associated with recurrence rates of 29% (363 operations in 113 patients) and 11.8% (34 patients), respectively. Local excision and primary clo­sure is another option for patients with mild to moderate disease (Hurley stage I-II). The main principle is to achieve disease-free mar­gins to reduce the recurrence rate after sur­gery. Reported recurrence rates ranges from 15% to 69.8% % in the operative eld and surrounding elds. In advanced disease— Hurley stage III disease—radical wide exci­sion of affected skin and subcutaneous tissue to fascia level is the only curative treatment Fig.21.3bd. Excision can be followed with subsequent secondary healing, ap creation or skin grafting. Skin grafting over granula­tion tissue can be performed in patients with large defects. Flap creation—usually in the perianal area—expedites the healing process. In these advanced cases, excising as many apocrine glands as possible has been reported to lower the risk of disease recurrence. Recurrence rates after radical excision ranges from 0% to 38% in the literature. Risk factors for recurrence after surgical management of HS are identied as young age, multiple sur­gical sites, and incision and drainage-type procedures. The authors prefer local excision and second­ary healing with daily packing, Sitz baths and daily showers in patients with anal HS.If sec­ondary healing cannot be achieved after gran­ulation tissue (Fig. 21.3e) is formed, skin grafting can be planned with plastic surgery. In cases where deep defects occur after resec­tion of the perianal HS lesions or SCC large pedicle aps can be created to close the defects. Routine fecal diversion in patients with severe perianal HS has been reported in the literature but this practice has not been widely accepted. Diversion should be consid­ered in non-compliant patients with anal HS and/or in patients who are not fully mobilized due to comorbid conditions. In addition to painful and extensive skin lesions, patients might also suffer from depres­sion and sexual dysfunction. Decreased qual­ity of life due to pain, draining lesions,

Refer to Algorithm inFig. 22.1
A. Anorectal trauma is associated with blunt
and penetrating injuries. Gunshot and seat­belt injuries are common to the colon and, despite improvements in critical care, con­tinue to yield a septic complication rate of 20%. Anorectal injuries are not subject to the same treatment algorithms of colon trauma, mostly because of the bony connes of the pelvis. Blunt injuries to the pelvis are associ­ated with a 2% rate of rectal injuries in pelvic fractures, and penetrating trauma (gunshot and stab wounds) accounts for >80% of rec­tal injuries. Because the intraperitoneal rec­tum is only 6–8 cm from the anal verge, intraperitoneal injury in anorectal trauma must always be considered, especially with foreign body insertions. As with any trauma algorithm germane to anorectal trauma, the two primary objectives are to control bleed­ing and limit contamination.

inspection of the perineum, perianal skin, and adjacent organs (vagina and scrotum) followed by assessment of blood in the rectal vault and anal tone with a digital rectal exam­ination. Rigid proctoscopy should be per­formed and can accurately diagnose up to 95% of extraperitoneal rectal injuries.
D. Contrast enema has a role but is largely sub-
jective. Plain x-rays of the chest, abdomen and pelvis are needed to assess for pneumo­peritoneum and/or placement of a foreign body (Fig.22.3). Triple-phase contrast com­puted tomography (CT) may also help assess the extent of the injury and indicate if it involves the genitourinary system (occurs at a frequency of 30–64% with rectal injury).
E. If the index of suspicion is high for intraperi-
toneal injury, or the patient has signs of peri­tonitis, a laparotomy or diagnostic laparoscopy must be performed. Prior to making a colotomy to extract a foreign body, manipulating it into the rectum for assisted transanal excision is encouraged if possible. If not possible, a longitudinal colostomy is made which is then closed transversely.
F. For foreign body insertion trauma, a thor-
ough inspection of the mucosal surfaces and sphincters must be performed.

G. The foreign body may be removed with seda-
tion and nerve block, epidural or general anesthesia. If the index of suspicion is high for intraperitoneal injury or the patient has signs of peritonitis, a laparotomy or diagnos­tic laparoscopy must be performed (Fig.22.4).
H. For anal or perineal injury, assess the anus,
perineum and sphincter for damage.
I. For minor perineal and sphincter damage:.
J. Wide debridement, primary sphincteroplasty,
tetanus and antibiotic prophylaxis against
aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are sufcient. K. For major sphincter and/or perineal damage. L. Wide debridement of non-viable tissues is
needed with a delayed sphincteroplasty. An
exploratory laparotomy or diagnostic lapa-
roscopy is needed to assess intraperitoneal
injury and to perform a diverting sigmoid
colostomy (loop or end-colostomy with

Although they have not been shown to reduce infections complications, presacral drains can be considered and brought out through separate stab incisions, followed by reassessment and possible pri­mary closure 3–5days postoperatively.
