[The use of an automatic stapler in abdominal hysterectomies. Our experience].

One hundred and four patients were randomized into two groups: group 1 (n = 56) included patients in whom used absorbable staples in vaginal cuff closure; group 2 (n = 48) included patients with classical abdominal hysterectomy. Operating time, facility and outcome 6 months later, were evaluated. Greater costs of absorbable staples compared with sutures can readily be counterbalanced by saving allowed by shorter operating time, no peritoneal contamination, minimal tissue trauma and better cuff healing.

Long-term follow-up of Nissen fundoplication.

A study of 68 children under 7 years of age, who had had an abdominal approach Nissen operation, with a postoperative follow-up of between 4 and 14 years, is presented. The patients were classified into three groups, according to radiological appearance and cuff site. In the first group (40 patients) the cuff was intraabdominal and competent; in the second group (22 patients) the cuff was partially displaced into the thorax and was competent. 92% of the patients of these groups are currently asymptomatic and none required reoperation. In the third group (6 patients), there was disorganization of the cuff, together with its displacement into the chest, recurrence of symptoms and the authors recommended reoperation. Nissen's operation is an effective treatment for gastrooesophageal reflux in children unresponsive to medical treatment. Although displacement occurs frequently, valve competence is unaffected except in those where the cuff has disappeared and there is herniation into the thorax in which case reoperation is necessary.
