[Surgical therapy of sporadic and familial pheochromocytoma].

From 1975 through 1987, 54 patients underwent operations for pheochromocytoma (PCC): 37 patients for sporadic unilateral adrenal PCC, 9 for bilateral and familial PCC, and 4 patients for paraganglioma. In 4 additional patients, laparotomy failed to discover the reason for hypercatecholaminemia. There were no operative mortality and a low morbidity for unilateral (n = 43) as well as for bilateral adrenalectomy (n = 6). To avoid hormone replacement therapy after bilateral total adrenalectomy at least for some years, unilateral instead of bilateral adrenalectomy was preferred to be the initial surgical procedure of choice for familial and MEN-IIA-associated unilateral adrenal PCC. Autologous transplantation of the adrenal cortex were performed in 2 patients after bilateral adrenalectomy. 6 months postoperatively, the transplants were vital as proved by light-microscopy, but sufficiently functioning only in 1 patient.

[Penetration of the tympanum by active substances (author's transl)].

In a specially designed animal model the penetration of glucocorticoid and oxytetracycline through the intact tympanic membrane was studied. Dogs were anesthetised for up to 8 h, and the substances were administered to the external auditory meatus. The measured concentration of the applied glucocorticoid in the tympanum showed a level which can be expected to be therapeutically active. When treating the inflamed middle ear, an adjuvant therapy with the combination dexamethasone-21-isonicotinate/oxytetracycline/natamycine/;etracain (Incut) should be taken into consideration. Although oxytetracycline was administered as well, this substance could not be measured in the small samples due to technical reasons. To find out about penetration of o%ytetracycline will have to be the object of another series of experiments.
