  • Title: [Daily aspects of proctology].
    Author: Lewinson B.
    Journal: Rev Med Brux; 1995; 16(4):267-70. PubMed ID: 7481240.
    Abstract:
    Revue of the commonest anal diseases encountered in the daily practice of general medicine. Hemorrhoids share their symptoms with a whole series of other diseases, and it is this lack of specificity that always calls for a thorough examination to reach a precise diagnosis. The most usual and accessible methods of treatment are described. Anal fissures: their diagnosis and, mostly, their prompt conservative treatment lead to frequent therapeutic success. Anal fistulas: if their description and origins are interesting, it is mostly the prompt incision and drainage of the abscess, by the general practitioner, without use of antibiotics, that will prevent the formation of fistulas. Pilonidal sinuses must be recognized as incurable without the help of surgery. Condylomas can often be treated at the office.
