[Early gastric cancer].

The authors perform a retrospective analysis of 46 cases of EGC referred to the Surgical Division of Carrara Civic Hospital during the period 1980-1990 who subsequently underwent surgery. Data relating to age, symptomatology and endoscopic examinations were analysed in order to evaluate the real diagnostic penetration of the method in association with tumour biopsy, site, macroscopic aspect, possible lymph node involvement and the histology of lesions. The most frequent form of surgery in this series was subtotal gastrectomy and the 5- and 10-year survival rates, calculated using an actuarial method, were compared with data reported in the literature. The authors conclude by emphasising the need to improve the frequency of diagnosis of gastric cancer at an "early" stage and affirm that gastric resection associated with lymphoadenectomy of 1st and 2nd level lymph nodes is a sufficiently radical operation and less punitive for the patient compared to total gastrectomy given that the 5- and 10-year survival rates are comparable.

[Duodenopancreatectomy with conservation of the pylorus].

The authors report on their initial experience with pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. In the last three years 11 patients with neoplastic disease of the pancreatic head and ampullary region underwent the above mentioned procedure. The surgical technique carefully preserved the blood supply and innervation to the antro-pyloric region and duodenum was transected 2 cm distal to the pylorus. Postoperative mortality was 9%. Postoperative nasogastric suction was required for eight days (median). Long term results are quite good with a satisfactory restoration of intestinal function and a weight gain of 95% of pre-illness weight. At the present time preserving the pylorus appears an usefull modification of Whipple procedure.

[Hepatic phlebography before and after portacaval anastomosis].

Wedged hepatic venography has been utilized in the hemodynamic staging of portal hypertension in 33 patients. The immediate postoperative evaluation in 18 cases, has outlined a portal vein filling in 14 end-to-side portacaval shunts, in 5 with presence of hepatofugal collateral veins between the ligated hepatic and shunted splanchnic sides of the portal system, and in 2 side-to-side. The sinusoidal filling pattern has been relatively unchanged after end-to-side portacaval shunts. The venographic appearance of "spontaneous" reversal of portal blood flow in hepatic cirrhosis must be confirmed by selective hepatic arteriography before affirming its presence.

[Aorto-iliac reconstructions].

The Authors refer their retrospective experience on 80 aorto-iliac reconstructions in 76 patients with a follow-up of 39.6 months (6-84). The patients have been classified in 6 functional classes and in 4 angiographic groups. The overall postoperative mortality has been 5.0% and the cumulative patency rate at five years 87.7%. Better functional results whether immediate or late in patients class C and group I.
