[Current problems in the treatment of thoracic hydatid cysts].

The authors present the experience of the Clinic for Thoracic Surgery of Bucharest, based on a total of 1206 cases of patients operated for hydatic cysts. An original classification is presented, of human hydatidosis, the indications of surgical treatment are stressed, namely the evacuation of the hydatic membrane with the peri-cystic tissue, even in cases of evacuated and suppuratec cysts--the authors objecting to the pulmonary resection in cases of hydatic cysts. The authors have performed simultaneous bilateral interventions, associated or not with phrenotomy, in bilateral and hepatic localizations. In the paper is also presented a new procedure (introduced by Prof. C. Coman) for the total extirpation of the hydatic membrane, a simple procedure which practically prevents effraction of the cyst. On the other hand the results confirm the efficiency of the procedure, very good results being obtained in 98,8% of the cases.

[Our experience in the surgical treatment of pleural empyema by thoracopleuroplasty].

An analysis is presented, of the experience acquired in the Clinic for Thoracic Surgery from Bucharest in the surgical treatment of thoracal empyema by the Andrews type thoracopleuroplastia. The advantages of the surgical technique are stressed, after the modifications introduced by the authors, in contrast with other surgical techniques used, such as successive-type thoracoplastia, topographical thoracoplastia, plastron removal, etc. Careful preoperative preparation is recommended, and surgical indications are indicated and the major technical and tactical principles of the intervention are described. The Clinic's experience is based on 281 interventions. Of these 206 cases were of bacillary origin and 75 were non-bacillary. The etiologic forms of these empyemas are also analyzed. In such interventions the mortality was under 1%. Recidives were noted in approximately 1% of the cases and postoperative complications were solved without raising particular difficulties. These results recommend the thoracoplastia type intervention as the choice technique in a large number of thoracic empyemas.

[Mediastinal neurogenic tumors].

An analysis is presented of clinical, radiological and evolutive aspects of 106 neurogenic mediastinal tumors operated in the Clinic for Tjhoracic surgery from Bucharest. The predominance is stressed of tumours originating in the nervous sheaths (62%), and the high incidence of tumours of the nervous cells (sympatomas, ganglio-neuroblastomas) in children. An analysis is made of the various surgical aspects. and the post-operative results, mostly favourable in over 90% of the subjects that underwent surgery.

[Surgical treatment of mediastinal tumors].

Based on a statistic which included 700 cases of mediastinal tumours (of which 460 underwent surgery), hospitalized in the Clinic for Thoracic Surgery of the Phtysiology Institute from Bucharest, the authors stress the particularities of the surgical interventions, which were due to particularities of the surgical interventions, which were due to particularities and extension of the tumours themselves. The mortality of 2,7 percent is explained by the careful indications for surgery, and this was due to a careful preoperative diagnosis.
