[Usefulness of preoperative biliary drainage: comparison of therapeutic strategies].

This work shows the results obtained by the comparison between a period in which obstructive icterus was treated only surgically and a mixed period, based on endoscopic or endoscopic surgical treatment. In a period of 9 years (1979-87), 186 patients suffering from obstructive icterus were admitted into the 1st Division of General Surgery at Ospedale Maria Vittoria, Turin. In the first five years (1979-83) all the patients (78) were indistinctly operated after the usual diagnostic controls. In the following four years (1983-87) 62 out of 108 patients, considered as high-risk ones, underwent drainage by endoscopic way. In the high-risk patients, both neoplastic and not, morbidity rate, death rate and average stay in hospital were evidently lower after endoscopic or endoscopic-surgical treatment than after surgery alone. In conclusion, endoscopic pre-operating drainage in selected and/or high-risk patients greatly reduces perioperative complications and mortality.

[Experimental porto-systemic diversion in the rat: a comparative analysis of technics and results].

A number of techniques for performing portacaval end-to-side and side-to-side pancreaticoduodenal and mesenterico-caval shunts in rats are described. These shunts, transposition and arterialization are valuable objects for training in microvascular surgery. Effects of shunts, liver function, hemodynamics, metabolic and neurological changes related to portal flow, liver metabolism, and portal pressure are compared.

[Diagnosis and therapy of splenic injuries].

The purpose of this work is a critical revision of spleen traumatism treatment. We have examined 46 patients which we treated by total splenectomy. We examined the recent literature on spleen functions and we tried to punctualize the newest methods for conservative treatment of the spleen.

[Surgical therapy of recurrent varicocele].

In the surgical treatment of recidivous varicocele, has been adopted in eight patients a personal technique that varies in some points from the Ivanissevich's one. Large dissection and resection of the spermatic vein in peritoneum back zone for 6-8 cm. length, prier ligature of all possible collaterals. In four cases has been applied the microsurgical technique, anastomosing the veins of the spermatic plexus to the saphena vein. Checks performed at distance of time haven't shown any relapsing case. The microsurgical technique should give the more immediate normalization of spermatogenesis.
