Sacculectomy

Sacculectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the anal sacs, often indicated in cases of chronic anal sac disease, infection, abscesses, or neoplasia. Proper understanding of the anatomy of the anal sacs and their surrounding structures is crucial for successfully performing a sacculectomy and avoiding complications.

In this video, we will cover the indications for sacculectomy, step-by-step surgical techniques, potential complications, and post-operative care considerations. It is important to pay close attention to the delicate dissection around the anal sphincter muscles to prevent nerve damage and incontinence. Additionally, we will highlight the importance of meticulous hemostasis, as well as careful closure techniques to reduce the risk of infection, dehiscence, and post-operative discomfort for the patient.
