Fifty-one-year-old male visited our hospital suffering from anal pain and subileus. Further examination revealed that advanced rectal cancer which invaded to presacral space (Ai, N 0, P 0, H 0, M(-), stage IIIa) caused such symptom. We administered neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for fear of non curative resection of the rectum. The regimen was once weekly administration of intravenous CPT-11 40 mg, plus daily oral administration of UFT-E 600 mg/day and Uzel 75 mg/day for 4 weeks. In addition we underwent radiation 2.4 Gy/day and intravenous low-dose cisplatin (CDDP) 5 mg/day, 5 days/week for 3 weeks. Four weeks after the first administration, a partial response was confirmed on CT, and so we carried out an abdominoperineal resection. The postoperative course is almost uneventful without a little perineal infection. The specimen revealed that no malignant lesion remained, which changed to necrotic tissue. The side effects were not so severe. For example, diarrhea, nausea, and mucosal dysfunction were each less than grade 2, and there was much tolerate for renal, liver, and bone marrow function. This combination chemoradiotherapy is considered to be effective for locally advanced rectal cancer.

Caudal block with a local anesthetic through the hiatus sacralis has been performed in patients with chronic low back pain, lower limb pain, anal pain, and pelvic pain due to spinal canal stenosis, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis, postherpetic neuralgia, peripheral vascular disease, complex regional pain syndrome and so on. We prepar- ed an information and consent sheet on caudal block in The University of Tokyo Hospital. In the information sheet, we included disease, purpose, methods, outcome, accidental complications of caudal block, other treatments, progress on unperformed case, questions and answers, influence of rejection, and doctor's name. We experienced some cases of boring pain, deterioration of low back pain and lower limb pain, headache, nausea, hypertension, hypotension, and tachycardia as accidental complications of caudal block. In describing some accidental complications, we included boring pain, high intracranial pressure, dural puncture, nerve injury, infection, hemorrhage, embolism, allergy, and heart, lung, brain, liver, and kidney failures. Further, we could refer to the accidental complications of epidural block. However, the rate of each accidental complication has not been known in detail. We should survey the outcome and accidental complication of caudal block prospectively in multiple facilities and provide the patients with useful information.

Functional bowel disorders encompass a number of symptoms including abdominal, pelvic and/or anal pain, bloating, nausea, disturbed bowel function, faecal urgency or incontinence, straining to evacuate bowels, incomplete emptying and constipation. This article examines the causes and effects of functional bowel problems on patients' quality of life. It provides an overview of the treatment options and clinical management of these conditions, focusing on biofeedback and rectal irrigation. The author reports results from a small scale audit at her hospital and concludes that rectal irrigation is a valuable treatment option for patients with functional bowel disorders.
