[Percutaneous correction of benign stenosis of the bile ducts and biliary-digestive anastomosis. Percutaneous transhepatic biliplasty].

The authors describe their experience in nine cases of transhepatic percutaneous dilatation of bile ducts benign stenosis by a Gruntzig catheter inflated at the stenotic level in order to stretch the sclerotic lesion. Despite the brief follow-up, the first results are satisfying; for this reason percutaneous dilatation of bile ducts benign stenosis could be a new procedure in the treatment of these lesions in selected cases.

[Instrumental follow-up of patients treated by internal biliary drainage].

The various radiological techniques available for the long-term follow-up of patients given definitive percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary implants (DTBI) are evaluated on the basis of personal experience. After a rapid examination of the available technics it is concluded that direct X-ray, echotomography and sequential hepatobiliary scintigraphy are more than sufficient for an accurate follow-up of the disease in such patients.

[Surgical treatment of endocrine tumors of the pancreas].

Following a brief review of the literature dealing with the rarity of this disease, and the diagnostic progress made to date, the surgical techniques applicable to the various locations of the neoplasia are described. Personal experience with 8 insuloma patients is reported.

[Immune complex monitoring in Echinococcus infections].

In two patients with hepatic echinococcosis, we studied the in vivo interaction between circulating immune complexes and polymorphonuclear neutrophil surface receptors according to our previously described technique and quantitated the amount of circulating immune complexes by the C1q binding assay. Both tests were positive prior to surgical removal of the cysts, to gradually become negative to weeks later, and are persistently negative at two months after complete asportation. The application of the two tests may be of value in assessing surgical radicality and consequently the prompt disappearance of circulating parasite antigens. In particular, failure of these two tests two turn negative or the occurrence of further, new positivities may suggest either uncomplete eradication of the cyst or reinfection. These immunologic techniques appear to provide a better monitoring of echinococcosis than all the other well-known immunological tests which detect specific immunoglobulins present in serum for a long time and therefore unable to indicate the persistence or the new appearance of the parasite antigens.
