The Authors report a review of the Literature and their personal series to evaluate the role of total thyroidectomy in the surgical management of non-toxic multinodular goiter. On the basis of the data obtained, the Authors consider total thyroidectomy the therapy of choice for this pathology.
The Authors, on the basis of their experience with 196 patients aged from 18 to 45, affected by relapsing varicose veins, stress the advantages of the outpatient treatment according to Muller's technique. For these lesions excellent aesthetic and functional results, easy surgical technique, low incidence of complications, prompt resumption to work were registered.

The Authors report their experience of out-patient phlebectomy. Over a period of 5 years they have examined 186 patients (156 females, 30 males): 166 had micro- and extra-saphenic varicosities, while 20 had recurrent varices. Patients with ostium failure were excluded. Muller's out-patient phlebectomy implies an accurate mapping of varicosities, local anaesthesia, microincisions which are only exceptionally sutured. The Authors consider that an accurate elastic pressure bandage is indispensable and useful in order to improve the dynamics of the PVC and to avoid haemorrhages. Such a surgical technique bears aesthetic, economic and haemodynamic advantages.
A case of Tietze's syndrome is reported. A 55-year-old woman had experienced left anterior chest pain and tender swelling of the left second costosternal junction for one month. CT showed a focal enlargement of the left second costal cartilage with partial calcification. Six months later a complete recovery was registered and a second CT scan was negative. These clinical and CT findings are consistent with Tietze's syndrome.
The authors after a review of the literature report a case of anterior tibial artery false aneurysm in a seventeen year old male, due to traumatic sprained ankle during a basketball match. Surgical techniques used in repairing the lesion as well as microsurgical technique for the direct suture of the artery, which allowed to resolve the problem, are discussed.
The authors describes a case of ischemic chronic stenosis of colon after aneurysmectomy. They consider eziopatogenesis, clinical aspects and differential diagnosis with other causes of large bowel stenosis. They illustrate on therapeutic sequence after examination of recent literature.
