[Multiple diverticulosis of the small intestine].

A case of jejunum-ileum multiple diverticulosis observed during a cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis, is reported. Stress is laid on this unusual localization of diverticulosis in the small intestine. The clinical picture can be silent or present an acute or chronic symptomatology and radical surgical treatment can performed or not. When the disease involves all the intestine, without presenting serious inflammatory phenomena and without clinical symptoms (as in the case observed), medical and not surgical treatment can be envisaged.

[Transduodenal papillosphincteroplasty].

On the basis of a thourough anatomosurgical study of Vater's ampulla and after a critical survey of all surgical techniques for the sphincter of Oddi, the indications for and technique of total papillosphincteroplasty are presented. The results obtained in 544 total papillosphincteroplasties, their possible complications and failure supported by long-term (from 6 months to 7 years) follow-up are discussed. The conclusion is drawn that papillosphincteroplasty is to be considered the surgical technique of choice in the treatment of benign pathology of the main bile way.
