Untreated gastric pseudolymphoma.

Gastric pseudolymphoma is an inflammatory process that may simulate malignancy. In most reported cases, the initial diagnosis has been malignant lymphoma and treatment has been applied accordingly. We report a case of gastric pseudolymphoma wherein the diagnosis was made from multiple surgical biopsies, and follow-up now exceeds 11 years. To our knowledge no other case of untreated gastric pseudolymphoma has been reported. This case may more closely represent the biologic nature of this presumably benign condition.

The surgically treated chronic gastric ulcer: an extended followup.

Since the overall results of the medical management of chronic gastric ulcer are discouraging, the records of 595 patients with chronic gastric ulcers who underwent surgical treatment at the Mayo Clinic from 1961 through 1965 were reviewed. Gastric and duodenal ulcer (or scar) occurred together in 18%. Partial gastric resection was the predominant surgical procedure employed. There was an uneventful postoperative course in 83.2% of patients. Early complications occurred in 16.8%, death in 1%, and early reoperation in 3.4% of patients. Followup extended from 1 to 14 years. Late complications occurred in 31.1% of patients. The overall results, graded according to a modified Visik classification, were excellent in 31.9%, good in 48.4% and unsatisfactory in 8.1%. In patients undergoing partial gastrectomy for "channel ulcers", the incidence of reo 1% recurrence rate for ulcers elsewhere in the stomach, with or without truncal vagotomy. For the majority of gastric ulcers, partial gastric resection, with or without vagotomy, remains theoretically advantageous and clinically proven.

Diverticular disease of the right colon.

Diverticular disease of the right colon is uncommon. Most frequently, rightsided diverticula occur in the cecum, and usually, they are solitary. Generally, the diverticular are true diverticular containing all coats of the intestine, and usually the younger age group is affected. Right-sided diverticulitis mimics appendicitis. The diverticulum and adjacent reaction may be mistaken for carcinoma. Surgical excision is indicated to prevent recurrent symptoms as well as confusion at later barium studies.

Effect of preoperative antibiotic regimen on development of infection after intestinal surgery: Prospective, randomized, double-blind study.

A prospective, randomized, double-blind study was performed to compare preoperative antibiotic preparation with neomycin (group 1), neomycin and tetracycline (group 2), and placebo (group 3) in patients undergoing elective intestinal surgery. The 196 patients were approximately equally distributed among the three study groups, which proved similar to each other in terms of age, sex, diagnosis, site of lesion, and operative procedure. There were significantly (P < 0.01) fewer patients with postoperative wound sepsis in the neomycin-tetracycline group (group 2) than in either of the two other groups. Postoperative wound infection rates in groups 1 and 3 were nearly identical. Most infections contained both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Eight of nine episodes of septicemia due to Bacteroides fragilis occurred in patients in groups 1 and 3.
