[Vasectomy in specialized surgical practice].

In the county of Roskilde an exception was made from the Danish legislation concerning sterilization that vasectomy should be performed in hospitals only on account of the long waiting list for this intervention. Two surgical specialists were selected to perform the operation in their practices. 88% (176/199) elected to accept the offer. All of these sterilizations were carried out within a period of six months. A questionnaire investigation did not reveal any difference in satisfaction between conduct of the intervention by the practising specialist in surgery or in hospital. Justification of the requirement that this form of sterilization can only be undertaken in hospital is discussed.

Colonoscopy in infancy and childhood with special regard to patient preparation and examination technique.

Only long colonoscopes, Olympus CF-LB2 or TCF-2L, were used for the 76 pediatric colonoscopies. A combination of a thin-liquid diet and laxatives was employed for 1-2 days before all the examinations. Physiological saline enemas on the eve and the morning of the day of examination were employed as supplementary colon-cleansing measures only in larger children. A mixture consisting of chlorpromazine, promethazine and pethidine chloride supplemented with atropine sulfate was used for premedication. Diazepam and ketamine chloride given i.v., or inhalation of halothane +N2O+O2 were employed for general anesthesia. Diazepam and phentanyl citrate given intravenously were used for the sedation of older children. The "classical" and Gaisford's modification of the procedure were found to be the most suitable examination techniques in infants and children. The coecum was reached in 75% of all examinations, and we had no complications with pediatric colonoscopy.
