A 50-year old female patient was referred to our clinic. She had systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension, oedemas, physical asthenia, weight loss and a large tumor in the left hypochondrium. Hormone assay showed markedly high values of 17 OHCS, 17 KS and testosterone, and high values of estrogens. The tumor was diagnosed as functional adrenal carcinoma. Removal of the tumor and administration of OP'DDD led to the disappearance of all clinical symptoms and normalization of hormonal values.

[Venous shunts in the treatment of acute thromboses of the cavernous body].

Six cases are presented, of acute thrombosis of the cavernous bodies, that were treated surgically. In five of the cases saphenous-cavernous anastomosis was performed and in the sixth spongio-cavernous anastomosis was carried out. The results are mediocre, four of the patients remaining impotent. The cause of the failure is probably the long duration of stasis in the cavernous bodies before venous derivations were performed.

[A surgical technic deserving reconsideration for closure of vesicovaginal fistulas: the Dittel-Forgue-Legueu operation].

A personal statistic is presented, on 24 patients with vesico-vaginal fistulae that have been operated. In 15 of the patients the Dittel-Forgue-Leguen procedure was adopted, of transperitoneo-vesical approach, and 14 good results were recorded (93%). The authors suggest that this procedure should be reconsidered, expecially for cases with very large, circular fistulae, in which the vaginal approach is not practicable, and when associated interventions are necessary, such as ureteral reimplantation, enteroplasties for enlarging the bladder capacity, resection of annexes, hysterectomy etc.
