[Locoregional complications of stomas. Therapeutic approach].

Principal local complications of ostomies are examined. Etiologic factors and possibilities of treatment are analyzed. These pathologies are often extremely troublesome and their resolution very difficult, unless appropriate therapy is established and, when possible, causal factors removed. However, because of the particular problems of these patients it would be better for them to be assisted by a specialized staff, in qualified centers.

[Systems of cerebral monitoring and protection in extracranial carotid surgery].

The main methods for cerebral monitoring and protection during surgical operations of extracranial carotid are examined, analyzing for everyone advantages and limits. Particularly, the authors discuss benefits and disadvantages of cerebral monitoring using somato-sensorial evoked potentials (EP) associated with the measurement of the stump pressure in patients in which general anaesthesia was performed, comparing this method to the monitoring of patients operated using locoregional anaesthesia. The results obtained allow us to say that EP are a very good method for cerebral monitoring and that, if they are not pathological, also with stump pressure values lower than 40 mmHg, a shunt is not necessary.

The anastomotic aneurysms.

The authors describe their experience of anastomotic aneurysm diagnosis and treatment. They are classed into two groups: slowly growing anastomotic aneurysms, which are the most common; and rapidly growing anastomotic aneurysms, which are more infrequent. A follow-up is proposed in order to detect this involvement early, in election. Urgent diagnostic timing is also proposed. Moreover an analysis is made of criteria to follow in their therapy and indications to surgical treatment. In the period from January 1988 to October 1992 we observed 413 patients and 876 anastomosis or arterial sutures in election, discovering 27 anastomotic aneurysms whereas in 6 cases we had patients who were affected with rapidly growing anastomotic aneurysms. These were urgently operated, whereas of the 27 patients with slowly growing anastomotic aneurysms, 22 were operated and in 5 cases we preferred to check them by a close follow-up.
