“…In the second case, extensive perineal sepsis developed in a 23-year-old man 5 days after haemorrhoidectomy, and he also was treated by wide excision and colostomy 68 . This complication may have been precipitated by drug-induced agranulocytosis from previous antibacterial chemotherapy.…”

ABSTRACT. A 4-year-old boy presented with fever, septic arthritis, and persistent neutropenia. Bone marrow biopsy revealed no evidence of neoplasia. Additional history disclosed that the patient had been given metamizole for pain before onset of his illness. Metamizole, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent, is prohibited in the United States because of the risk of agranulocytosis but is widely used in Mexico and other countries. The increasing number of Latinos in the United States and the extensive cross-border transfer of medicines raise concerns that metamizole use and associated complications may become more frequent. After identification of the index patient, additional inquiry revealed that the patient's mother was hospitalized previously for overwhelming sepsis associated with metamizole use. These cases prompted an investigation of metamizole use in an urban pediatric clinic, which revealed that 35% of Spanish-speaking Latino families had used metamizole; 25% of these families had purchased the medication in the United States. We conclude that metamizole use is common and may be underrecognized in immigrant Latino patients. Physicians in the United States, especially those who practice primary care, hematology/oncology, and infectious diseases, must be aware of the availability and use of metamizole in specific patient populations and its potential for harmful side effects.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the early period results of the stapled hemorrhoidectomy in adults who went through the process due to a hemorrhoidal disease. The patients who underwent stapled hemorrhoidectomy process between November 2007 and November 2011 because of a grade 3-4 hemorrhoidal disease were all prospectively evaluated in terms of initial complaint, duration of the complaint, co-morbid anal disease and post operative complaints. The operation was conducted through the Longo technique. The patients were asked to return for routine postoperative follow-up visits after the periods of 1st month, 6th month and 2nd year. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) was used for the assessment of the pain. 84 of all 114 cases were males with the mean age 37.2 (23-64 yrs) and the rest 30 were females with the mean age 41.4 (22-65 yrs); the duration of the complaints varied from 24 to 120 months. The mean operation duration was 32 min (20-35 min). Preoperative bleeding was observed in 6 of the patiens (5.2%), which was treated through cauterization. No pathologies were observed in the suture line in rectal examinations conducted. IM NSAID (Diclofenac potassium) was given to all patients postoperatively. Twenty seven patients needed analgesic within the course of postoperative 48 hours but no analgesic was needed in the following periods. The mean postoperative hospitalization length was 16 hours (8-48 hr). All the patients got back to their daily routines in about one week. Conventional hemorrhoidectomy was performed for six patients with recurrent hemorrhoids at the end of the postoperative 2nd year. Despite being costly, stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a recommended technique regarding the fact that it gives less postoperative pain, requires a shorter hospitalization period and that the patients are able to get back to work in a short period of time. If our findings are validated through further clinic studies to be conducted in the long term, stapled hemorrhoidectomy can be a gold standard method for the treatment of hemorrhoidal diseases.
