[Our clinico-therapeutic attitude to fibrocystic mastopathy].

The authors relate their experience about Chronic Cystic Disease. They emphasize the frequency of relapses and the risks that such a pathology involves. They finally suggest a surgical treatment plan that, in their opinion, should be applied whenever the patient is a peri-menopausal aged woman who has undergone, at least twice, an operation for a Chronic Mastopathy with a histologically proved epiteliosis. The operation suggests is a total glandulectomy with simultaneous breast reconstruction by means of a prosthesis.

[Surgical therapy of rectal prolapse. Our clinical experience of 12 years of observations].

AA. are reporting their experience on the subject of the surgical treatment of the rectal prolapse in all his clinical forms, during 12 years of activity that has taken place in the clinical surgery of the University of Ferrara. From their casuistry it is shown that usually this pathology is joined with other morbid forms of the small pelvis which vary according to the degree of the prolapse. They emphasize the excellent results obtained and support the surgical way of laparotomy adopted in the treatment of prolapse of II type (incomplete) and III type (complete).

[Technical notes on the use of the circular mechanical stapler].

The Authors, in the light of their experience, study some technical aspects in the use of circular stapling devices (SPTU-EEA). After paying attention to the risks involved in the employment of such instruments, they explain the precautions they consider necessary to prevent the most common complications. As a conclusion, they confirm the safety of stapling devices, provided they are used with skilfulness and caution.

[Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (our experience)].

The AA. report their experience on 22 cases of aneurysm involving under renal abdominal aorta as mortality rate in elective surgery is about 16% and in emergency operation it rises up to 60%. The AA. remark the opportunity of early surgical treatment. Ti decrease mortality rate.

[Reoperations in surgery of biliary lithiasis (author's transl)].

The Authors report on their cases of biliary surgery reoperation, necessary in 267 cases out of 3193 primary operations. After a short discussion of the aetiological, diagnostic and therapeutic problems of relapsing biliary pathology, they compare their results with those of the most important sets of cases reported in world literature.

Effect of omeprazole on interdigestive gastroduodenal motility of patients with ulcer-like dyspepsia.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: As omeprazole, an antisecretory drug, is largely used in the treatment of acid-related diseases, we investigated its effects on the interdigestive gastroduodenal motility of ulcer-like dyspepsia. METHODOLOGY: Gastroduodenal motility was recorded manometrically in 9 patients complaining of ulcer-like dyspepsia with normal gastric emptying at scintigraphy, without ulcerative lesions and H. pylori infection at endoscopy, and without diseases known to affect gut motility (group ULD), and in a group of 9 healthy subjects as control (group C). After a period sufficient to record two consecutive phases III of the migrating motor complex (MMC) in patients of group ULD, omeprazole 20 mg was infused intravenously 30 min after the end of the last duodenal phase III and the recording was continued to the next one. RESULTS: With respect to the control group, the group ULD showed a significantly longer MMC cycle duration, a frequent absence of gastric phases III and a shorter duration of duodenal phases III. Omeprazole administration in group ULD was followed after 18.9 +/- 8.5 min by a typical gastroduodenal phase III and, consequently, the duration of the omeprazole-related cycle was significantly shortened. These omeprazole-related phases III started from the stomach in nearly all cases and showed a significantly longer duration at the duodenal level with respect to the spontaneous ones. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ulcer-like dyspepsia showed a decrease in frequency and duration of gastroduodenal phases III. The omeprazole intravenous administration induced the anticipated appearance of an apparently normal gastroduodenal phase III, probably by suppressing the inhibitory action of acid secretion.

[Changes caused by mineral water on gastrointestinal motility in patients with chronic idiopathic dyspepsia].

BACKGROUND: The antidyspeptic property of mineral waters has been based for ages on empirical data. In the present paper the effects of one of them (Tettuccio, Montecatini) on gastrointestinal motility of patients with dyspepsia has been evaluated. METHODS: The study was carried out on 24 patients with idiopathic dyspepsia and delayed gastric emptying at scintigraphy and 18 healthy subjects with normal gastric emptying. The gastric emptying of this mineral water was studied with a scintigraphic method in comparison with tap water, while its effects on gastroduodenal contractions were evaluated by of manometry. RESULTS: The gastric emptying of this mineral water was significantly faster than that of tap water, both in dyspeptic patients and in normals. Manometric examination showed that the administration of mineral water induced a brief decrease of phasic motor activity, followed by a progressive increase, which in some cases ended in an activity front of the Migrating Motor Complex. CONCLUSIONS: This mineral water has a stimulating effect on both gastric emptying and interdigestive cyclic motor activity of the gastroduodenal tract. Both these effects could be useful in the treatment of chronic idiopathic dyspepsia and impaired gut clearing.

The elongation of the internal carotid artery. Diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Cerebro-vascular insufficiency is rarely caused by an abnormal elongation of the internal carotid artery (the ratio is 15% to 17% of symptomatic patients). The anomalies can be defined as: tortuosity, when the artery has a "C" or "S" shape; coiling, when the elongation is more evident and the artery forms one or more loops; kinking, when there is a sharp angulation of the first portion of the internal carotid artery. The etiology of these peculiar arterial modifications seems to be related to a congenital basis which may become exaggerated with ageing of the artery. Surgical correction should include intra-arterial inspection (TEA) as well as eliminating the pathological elongation. The Authors presents their 9 cases surgical experience.
