[Surgical therapy of Echinococcus granulosus (cysticus)].

Hydatid disease, still frequent in endemic areas, is usually localized in the liver. Despite the benign nature of the disease it is one of the problematic fields of surgery due to the high complication rate and long hospital stay. Based on our experience we recommend evacuation of the cyst and omentoplasty as the surgical method of choice, as it is associated with a relatively low incidence of complications and can be performed easily.

Gastric duplication cyst.

BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of gastric duplication cysts. METHODS: A 38-year-old female patient presented with dyspepsia and repeated episodes of epigastric pain. She was operated with the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst according to her US and CT scans, and found to have a gastric duplication cyst. A cyst about 80x80 mm, localized on the posterior wall of the corpus of the stomach close to the fundus, was dissected from the surrounding tissues and partially from the gastric wall. The cyst did not have muscle layer on the common wall with the stomach, so the cystic mucosa was stripped away from the gastric muscle layer. The gastric lumen was not entered. RESULTS: Although gastric duplication cysts do not have specific symptoms and signs, CT, MR and endoscopic ultrasonography may help the preoperative diagnosis, but the diagnosis is usually confirmed at laparotomy. Needle aspiration may cause complications. CONCLUSION: Because of the complications that may occur after needle aspiration and malignant potential of the tissue, the treatment of these cysts is surgical.

Tuberculosis of the breast.

OBJECTIVE: To present our 20 years experience of tuberculosis of the breast. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Teaching hospital, Turkey. SUBJECTS: 9 women with tuberculous mastitis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Cure. RESULTS: All cases underwent frozen section and excision. One required a simple mastectomy because of the extent of destruction; the remainder underwent lumpectomy. All patients were given rifampicin, ethambutol, and isoniazid, and the three who had tuberculosis of other organs were also treated with streptomycin. Mean follow up was 87 months (range 6-178) and two patients were lost to follow up, at three and six years, respectively. Histological examination showed the presence of tubercle and central caseation in 8 cases and granulomatous infiltration in one. CONCLUSION: Tuberculous mastitis is rare, and should be suspected in any woman with persistent breast abscesses and sinuses, particularly if she lives in an area from which tuberculosis has not been eradicated. Conservative surgery and antituberculous drugs are the treatment of choice.

[Gastrointestinal tuberculosis. 10 years experience in a surgical university clinic].

Between 1982 and 1992 a total of 38 patients were treated for primary peritoneal tuberculosis in the medical faculty Cerrapaşah, University of Istanbul. Ten patients were operated on as emergency cases because of bowel obstruction, the remaining 28 had elective procedures. Seven patients had a diagnosis made laparoscopically, 31 with a laparotomy. In the latter group 13 patients underwent a laparotomy with biopsy without any morbidity or mortality. On the other hand there was no morbidity or mortality after laparoscopic diagnosis and these patients had an average admission time of 3.5 days. The morbidity and mortality rates of the entire laparotomy group were 6.4 and 3.2% respectively. And the average length of admission was 13.6 days. In view of our results we would favour laparoscopy as the best diagnostic method for intraabdominal tuberculosis in patients with unspecific abdominal pain and no endoscopically proven cause.
