[Loco-regional anesthesia in the surgery of inguinal and crural hernias. The authors' own experience with 1730 treated cases].

The authors report their experience with the use of loco-regional anaesthesia for the surgical treatment of inguinal and femoral hernias. Their series includes 1730 operations, 235 of which for hernia relapses, performed exclusively in the outpatient department. In the authors opinion, with loco-regional anaesthesia it is possible to treat any type of inguinal-femoral hernia, reducing the risks related to total anaesthesia and the complications arising from bedrid. Excellent results were achieved especially in the elderly and high risk patients like cardiopathic or those affected by respiratory and hepatorenal insufficiency with a complete absence of mortality and morbidity.

[Recurrence of inguinal and crural hernias].

The main problem in inguinal and femoral hernia repair is the risk of recurrence. In this study the Authors analyze possible causes of recurrence on the basis of their own experience (123 cases of recurrences) and literature review. They classify factors influencing recurrence in: preoperative, depending on patient's features, intraoperative, the most important ones, depending on the surgical technics used and postoperative, essentially due to complications.

Evaluation of postoperative blood coagulation changes in elderly patients undergoing major surgery.

18 elderly patients submitted to major surgery for malignancies or other disease were studied to assess the relationship between changes of blood coagulation factors and inhibitors in the early post-operative period and the appearance of lower limb deep vein thrombosis. A decrease in serum antithrombin III (AT III) Protein C antigen (PC: Ag) and Plasminogen activity (PLG) levels from the second to the fourth postoperative day, together with a simultaneous increase in serum fibrinogen (FG) and von Willebrand Factor (vWF:Ag) antigen levels was observed. In 8 patients, PC:Ag levels dropped below the limit considered at risk to develop DVT (less than 60 U/dl). A patient with the lowest PC:Ag levels had deep vein thrombosis From the analysis of data it was concluded that in the postoperative period, blood coagulation changes occur in elderly patients, predisposing to the risk of deep vein thrombosis.

Outpatient surgery of inguinal and crural hernias: a report on 468 cases.

A personal series of 468 inguinal and crural hernias treated with local anesthesia and outpatient surgery is reported. The marked advantages of loco-regional anesthesia are stressed and the various surgical procedures used in the different conditions examined. Need for maximum reduction of suture tension is underlined. All patients of the series resumed immediate postoperative ambulation and a number were discharged within 1-2 hours returning to their working activity the day following surgery. Follow-up was performed for cases operated on from 6 months to 6 years: overall incidence of recurrence was 1.1% and 0.37% in cases where Marlex mesh was used, whose marked advantages are evidenced.

Pathophysiological patterns of hepaticojejunostomy. Scintigraphic evaluation.

Results obtained using 99mTc HIDA in the follow-up of 17 patients who underwent hepaticojejunal bypass for different indications are examined. Results are also compared to other commonly used procedures such as echography and cholangiography (I.V. or PTC). Preliminary results appear to confirm that cholescintigraphy is an accurate procedure which allows an anterograde and physiologic visualization of the anastomosis.
