Patients with a wide variety of anorectal lesions present to family physicians. Most can be successfully managed in the office setting. A high index of suspicion for cancer should be maintained and all patients should be questioned about relevant family history or other indications for cancer screening. Patients with condylomata acuminata must be examined for human papillomavirus infection elsewhere after treatment of the presenting lesions. Their sexual partners should also be counseled and screened. Both surgical and nonsurgical treatments are available for the pain of anal fissure. Infection in the anorectal area may present as different types of abscesses, cryptitis, fistulae or perineal sepsis. Fistulae may result from localized infection or indicate inflammatory bowel disease. Protrusion of tissue through the anus may be due to hemorrhoids, mucosal prolapse, polyps or other lesions.

We present a paediatric institutional experience with laparoscopic gastrostomies (LG) and evaluate its appropriateness as the recommended method for gastrostomy placement. We also sought to evaluate the efficacy of a simple technique for LG and collected information on long-term follow-up after LG. LG was performed in 112 children over a 6-year-period. The procedure involves visualization of the stomach through an umbilical port and a second epigastric gastrostomy site to select and anchor the stomach with sutures prior to the placement of a low profile gastrostomy feeding device (LPGD). The follow-up details of the patients were analysed. A review of literature was done to compare LG with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The median operating time for the procedure in 112 patients was 48 min. There was one open conversion. Median postoperative length of stay was 6 days. Other complications were vomiting (11%), peri- gastrostomy leak (26%), granulation tissue (42%), accidental dislodgement of the LPGD (4%), faulty device requiring replacement (10%), gastric mucosal prolapse (2%) and localized infection (2%). Follow-up ranged from 6 to 75 months with a cumulative gastrostomy usage of 2,352 months. The advantages of the described technique are virtual feasibility in all patients, primary placement of a LPGD, simplicity with requirement of minimal laparoscopic expertise and safety. Comparison with reports of PEG in the literature indicates that LG should be the preferred method of gastrostomy placement in children.
