[Simultaneous vascular and endovascular surgery of complex vascular diseases].

Complex vascular disease requires combined, intraoperative endovascular and reconstructive therapy. Hereby, transprosthetic, transluminal angioplasty is particularly well suited for this purpose. The 5-year patency rate after combined inguinal patch plasty and femoral balloon dilation (n = 58) was 70%. The 5-year patency rates following transgraft angioplasty, with subsequent stent implantation and cross-over bypass (n = 46) and after transprosthetic, popliteal-crural dilation was 83% and 63%, respectively. Three patients with a type IIb (after Allenberg) aneurysm were treated with an aortoiliac stent prosthesis, combined with a cross-over bypass. The follow-up examinations at 2, 16 and 36 months were uneventful.

[Ascending varicose vein phlebitis--classification and therapy].

Ascending varicophlebitis can cause pulmonary embolism by entering the deep venous system. Classification into four stages permits a differentiated therapeutic strategy: if the thrombus reaches or enters the deep venous system, immediate surgery consisting of crossectomy, resection of the saphenous vein, radical excision of all varicosed veins and ligature of insufficient perforating veins are indicated.

[Combined interventions in transfemoral stent implantation in infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm].

The transluminally placed endovascular graft (TPEG) is a novel method for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Aortobiiliacal application requires three anchor sites and can often not be performed in cases of aneurysm, occlusion, or elongation of the iliac arteries. Here the aorto-uniiliacal stent implantation combined with crossover bypass provides an alternative procedure, and thus broadens the therapeutic endovascular spectrum.

[Severe craniocerebral trauma].

In medical services where acute accident patients are encountered, general and traumatic surgeons are faced with the problem of treating severe head and brain injuries. In the Department of Surgery at the University Hospital in Munich, we have been performing neurotraumatological treatment since 1983. We had 162 patients with severe head and brain injuries, 95 intracerebral contusional bleeding, 8 depression fractures, and 3 hygromas. All these patients underwent surgical treatment. Osteoplastic trepanation was performed in 68 patients and osteoclastic trepanation in 65. Further interventions were elevation of the 8 depression fractures and evacuation of the 3 hygromas. Comparison with other investigations in departments of neurosurgical surgery in the United States suggest that our results reflect a similar outcome (according to Jennet and Bond's outcome scale: 1 cured; 2 slightly; 3 severely handicapped; 4 vegetative state; 5 expired). The Traumatic Coma Data Bank (1991) recorded the outcome of severe head and brain injuries as follows: 1, 27%; 2, 16%; 3, 16%; 4, 5%; 5, 39%. Organization procedures and treatment strategies are suggested.

[The contribution of the general and trauma surgeon in neurotraumatology: experiences and results of 10 years].

In acute medical service, general and traumatic surgeons are faced with the problem of treating severe head and brain injuries. In the department of surgery of the University Hospital in Munich, we have been performing neurotraumatological treatment since 1982. Within 10 years we saw 138 patients with severe head and brain injury. We had 48 cases of epidural hematoma. 81 of acute subdural hematoma. 84 of intracerebral contusional bleeding, 5 of depression fractures and 3 of hygromas. All these patients underwent surgical treatment. Osteoplastic trepanation was performed in 49 patients and osteoclastic trepanation in 60. Further interventions were elevation of the 5 depression fractures and evacuation of the 3 hygromas. Comparison with other investigations in departments of neurological surgery in the United States suggest that our results reflect a similar outcome (according to Jennet and Bond's outcome scale: 1, cured; 2, slightly handicapped; 3 severely handicapped; 4, vegetative state; 5, expired). The Traumatic Coma Data Bank (1991) recorded outcome of severe head and brain injuries as follows: 1, 27%; 2, 16%; 3, 16%; 4, 5%; 5, 36%; and our own results were: 1, 24%; 2, 17%; 3, 15%; 4, 5%; 5, 39%. Organization procedures and treatment strategies are suggested.
