Perineal Trauma After Jet Ski Accidents and Long-term Functional Outcomes Results (TP-JET)

April 10, 2024 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Observational Study of Perineal Trauma After Jet Ski Accidents and Long-term Functional Outcomes Results

French multicentric retrospective cohort study including patients who underwent an ano-perineal trauma following a personal watercraft/jet-ski accident and that were treated in France from January 2017 to December 2023.

Aims of the study were to describe the initial management of the patients and to evaluate the digestive, urological and sexual functional outcomes as well as the quality of life, using validated questionnaires commonly employed in clinical practice.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Ano-perineal injuries and their mechanisms resulting from personal watercraft (PWC)/Jet-Ski accidents are poorly understood and may lead to long-term functional repercussions, previously unmentioned in studies. These accidents are in France but, mostly, concerned young women, back-seated on the PWC without any specific protection.

Therefore, the research team conducted a French multicentric cohort study that retrospectively included patients who experienced ano-perineal trauma following a personal watercraft/Jet-Ski accident and were treated in France.

Data on pre-hospital management, pre-operative work-up, surgical management (including surgical techniques), short-term and long-term complications (routinely used functional scores) were collected through the analysis of personal medical records.

Several patients had sphincteric, rectal, vaginal, or combined injuries, sometimes requiring the establishment of a stoma. the investigators subsequently evaluated the rate of fecal incontinence (evaluated by anorectal manometry or Wexner score), urological (USP score), and sexual outcomes (FSFI). Quality of life was also assessed using the SF12 score.
