Gastric submucosal neoplasms: new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Submucosal neoplasms can be found in the esophagus and stomach during radiologic or endoscopic examination; histological diagnosis, however, is not significant in many cases because sampling is difficult. Endoscopic biopsies usually do not allow to obtain tissue from the submucosal layer nor other techniques prove to be reliable enough. 23 patients, aged between 21 and 76 were studied over a period of 5 years; in 1 male large gastric folds were observed. Of the 22 patients affected by benign submucosal neoplasms, 2 underwent surgical operation; no significant samples were obtained in any of the 11 cases in which biopsy forceps had been used. In the remaining patients an electrosurgical snare for polypectomy was used; this technique proved to be successful in 77.8% of cases. It is often shown to be also a therapeutic method when polypoid neoplasms are found.

[384 papillosphincterostomy operations. Indications, technic, results and long-term control].

The immediate and long-term results of 384 papillosphincterostomy operations carried out between 1969 and 1979 are presented and discussed. After defining the operation exactly, indications for it are illustrated, i.e.: VP lithiasis, fibrosclerotic odditis, Oddian functional pathology and other pathologies. Special attention is paid to diagnostic techniques. After commenting on surgical techniques, the results obtained in the immediate postoperative course are examined and it is pointed out that complications specific to the type of operation occurred in 1.5% of cases, with a mortality of 1.3% and an incidence of acute pancreatitis of 0.3% (3 cases of which 1 fatal). 162 patients (42%) were followed up between 10 years and 3 months after operation. Follow-up showed the absence of late after-effects and as well as the advantages of effecting an extensive incisura at the Oddian sphincter.
