[Report on surgical strategy in reoperation of esophageal achalasia].

Surgical therapy for achalasia of the esophagus gives good results in only 80-90% of cases. Several reasons could be responsible for this 10-20% failure; the most frequent causes are inadequate cardiomyotomy and reflux esophagitis. We report our experience and our procedure in the management of recurrent achalasia. The most important controversies are also discussed.

[Primary "small-cell" lymphoma of the lung. A clinical case report].

Primary lymphoma of the lung is a rare pathological condition arising from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The lack of specific symptoms and the related diagnostic problems induced the authors to report a clinical case recently observed. Therefore, some histopathologic characteristics useful for a correct differential diagnosis with the pseudolymphoma of the lung and the interstitial lymphocyte pneumonia are analysed.

[Direct post-mastectomy reconstruction with skin expansion. Technical notes].

The demolition-reconstruction sequence in patients suffering from breast cancer may, in selected cases, be reduced to two surgical steps alone without compromising the radical nature of the surgery or the aesthetic result. The technical details of a protocol realisable in a short time that proposes on the one hand classical radical mastectomy (according to Patey or Madden) and on the other reconstruction by tissue expansion are described.

[Early postoperative enteral nutrition and total parenteral nutrition. Technics compared in patients undergoing radical surgery for carcinoma of the large intestine. Preliminary report].

A preliminary study has been carried out on 10 patients suffering from cancer of the colon and rectum, all subjected to radical surgery. The clinical effectiveness of two alternative techniques of postoperative artificial nutrition, EPEN and TPN, are compared. The results confirm that enteral nutrition is technically applicable and well tolerated in the immediate post-operative period in these patients; it also presents a lower cost, it is more manageable and present a lower incidence of complications compared to TPN while offering similar metabolic and nutritional results.
