[A case of strangulated trans-omentum hernia].

After a review of the Literature, the Authors report a case of intestinal obstruction caused by trans-omentum hernia. This unusual disease is due to a defect of the greater omentum with herniation and secondary strangulation of small bowel. The clinical presentation was that of an intestinal obstruction with rare possibility of preoperative diagnosis. Therefore, a correct knowledge of this pathology and immediate surgery are necessary for the prognosis.

[Biologically borderline neoplasms: epithelial hemangioendothelioma. A case report].

The case of a patient affected by an epithelial hemangioendothelioma of the arm is described. A definitive diagnosis was possible only by histologic examination. The difficulty to reliably predict the biological behaviour of these tumors is emphasized and therefore the necessity of a follow-up of the patient for many years is stressed, even in the case of a histologically benign tumor.

[Diaphragm rupture caused by closed trauma. A more and more frequent condition].

The Authors report a case of rupture of the diaphragm in blunt trauma of the abdomen, to examine the more significant features of this condition whose incidence proves to be increasing, after a review of the literature data, parallel to the increase of accidents on the road and at work. They examine the most important pathogenic problems and these related to the mechanism leading to diaphragmatic lesion and they highlight the deeper pathophysiological changes suffered from the patient with such a condition. They draw attention to what they consider to be the most important aspect, and therefore the diagnosis. In fact, in accordance with the various series of cases reported in the literature, it is crucial in the diagnostic problem is when the possible cause of the rupture is suspected and necessary diagnostic cascade (Rx, echotomography, TC) is activated so to highlight the lesion. Therefore a quick diagnostic fitting is necessary for the survival of the acute patient with hernia of the thorax cavity, as well as quick surgical correction of the lesion that, as in the case described, serves to achieve the best possible anatomic-functional results.

[Gastrointestinal stromal tumors].

The Authors report two cases of GIST and underline cytogenetic, clinic and prognostic aspects of this disease; they describe as well new histo-cyto-genetic data that identify as origin tissue interstitial cells of Cajal, by immunohistochemical and genetic tests. They also consider new diagnostic and therapeutic options based on surgical treatment. Finally controversial prognostic problems are discussed.

[Inguinal hernioplasty: Shouldice vs. tension-free techniques. A personal experience].

The Authors report their experience with the use of Shouldice technique and tension-free procedures (Lichtenstein, Trabucco). They evaluate long time results with both procedures making a comparasion of Shouldice versus tension-free. The results evaluation underlines the best performance of tension-free procedures with elimination of recurrence. The Authors achieve that the tension-free techniques are now the gold standard for surgical treatment of groin hernia.

[Acute bleeding in gastrointestinal stromal tumor: case report].

A.A. refer a case report on a patient observed in emergency condition for acute bleeding from digiunal bowel by a GIST. Starting from clinical case, describe a brief profile of clinical, histogenetic, diagnostic and prognostic characteristics of the GIST also delineated by recent reports from literature; agree with other A.A. about treatment procedure represented always by resection of affected intestinal tract and never by enucleation for inconstant and unforeseeable biologic comportment by this tumours.

[Organizational model and clinical evaluation in Day Surgery: our experience].

Surgical treatments in Day Surgery (DS) are characterised by limited hospitalisation during daytime on the base of an organizational model established by appropriate protocols. According to it, the patient at low operational risk and the patient whose post-operative management is easy is admitted to the programme. The Authors report their experience of DS focusing on the surgical and anaesthesiological qualifications that help to control the risk factors reducing the complications and thus guaranteeing the safety and effectiveness of the service.

Treatment of pilonidal disease in short-stay surgery: personal method.

HYPOTHESIS: We state that our personal method constitued by excision and primary closure in the treatment of pilonidal sinus, is able to obtain a low rate of recurrence and a fast return to work. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Our report has been conducted on 315 patients. Excision and primary closure in the treatment of pilonidal sinus by local-regional anesthesia. The patients have been discharged on second day. RESULTS: We have not had intraoperative complication; about morbilità there have been 4% of seromas treated conservatively. CONCLUSIONS: With this personal method we have obtained very good results, in short and long time, with less of recurrences and fast return to work.

[Treatment of the gastric tuberosity in sliding hiatal hernias].

A technique for the treatment of gastric tuberosity in hiatal hernias due to slippage is presented. It consists of overturning and attachment of the tuberosity to the anterior wall of the stomach and gastropexy according to Niessen. The excellent results obtained with this very simple and by no means traumatic operation suggest that, given the same results with regard to the disappearance of the hernia that the postoperative disturbances observed in a considerable number of cases treated by means of classic fundoplication.

[Inguinal hernia repair in the elderly: modified Shouldice procedure, 10 years of experience].

Authors relate their experience of 10 years period (1984-1994) with Shouldice technique for inguinal hernia repair in the elderly. This technique, in the Author's clinical practice, replaced the Bassini operation. The personal series is costituted of 190 patients underwent to inguinal repair during a 10 years period from 1984 to 1994 with recurrence rate of 1.1% (2 pt.). Authors consider Shouldice operation to be most valid from the methods of direct suture, with lower recurrence range.

[Necrotizing fasciitis: apropos of a case].

Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection which involves soft tissues up to the fascia, with wide areas of necrosis, and is mainly caused by group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. The Authors report a case recently observed and after an accurate review of the Literature, taking into account the most recent pathogenetic knowledges, confirm the necessity of an early diagnosis based on clinical criteria but above all on histological biopsy. The treatment is mainly surgical, and allows, together with the medical treatment, to subdue the rapid progression of the infection which notwithstanding maintains an high mortality rate.

[Intercostal incisional hernia: case report].

[Spigelian hernia: clinical, diagnostic and therapeutical aspects].

The Authors describing a case of Spigelian hernia observed point out clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic considerations about this rare pathology of abdominal wall. They specify the anatomic characteristics of the region and underline as any diagnostic difficulties are by passed by use of USG and TC imaging for formulation of correct preoperative diagnosis. They confirm as surgical treatment by a correct access isn't different by a normal hernioplasty and guarantee the long term surgical outcome.
