[Perforated duodenal ulcer in children].

We face a case of duodenal ulcer perforation a nine year old child who's diagnosis was not detected before operating. This is an unusual case and it is not normally observed in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdominal pain in the infancy. The lack of the radiological signs of perforation contributed to the diagnosis mistake before operating.

[Spiegel's hernia. Apropos of 10 cases].

We present our recent experience in the last ten cases of Spiegel's hernia, studying its form of presentation and clinical manifestations. We studied emergency cases because they presented intestinal obstruction and were handled as a surgical emergency. We remark the noninvasive diagnostic methods, mainly echography. The surgical treatment for repair of the hernial defect and the material used was the same in every case. The morbi-mortality of the series was null and there was no recurrence in the period in which we studied and followed-up the series.

[Complete section of the choledochus caused by non-penetrating trauma of the abdomen. Use of minimal catheter jejunostomy].

A case is presented of complete section of the choledochus as the sole lesion in closed abdominal trauma. A study is made of the difficulties of an early diagnosis of this pathology, as well as techniques for intraoperative localization and repair. Emphasis is placed on the use of peritoneal lavage as a preoperative diagnostic method and Tc99m HIDA scintigraphy of the biliary tract. The surgical technique is reviewed, assuming that the most physiological and anatomic procedure is end-to-end choledochoduodenostomy using reabsorbable sutures. We recommend the use of minimal transcatheter jejunostomy (YMC) as a method for immediate replacement of bile juice and inhibition of secretion, as well as the possibility of postoperative physiological nutrition using this approach.
