[Hiatal hernia and reflux esophagitis].

Between 1985 and 1987, 25 patients had abdominal operations for hiatal hernia and/or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Eight of them had complicated reflux esophagitis. One patient had a Belsey Mark IV repair, the others had a Nissen fundoplication. There was no mortality. After a median follow-up of 16 months (range 3-38) six patients had symptoms of "gas-bloat". The esophagitis was healed in ten patients. 22 patients were completely or fairly satisfied with the results of the surgery. Two patients were not satisfied. Both had complicated reflux esophagitis before they were operated on. Patients with esophagitis should be evaluated for surgery before stricture or Barrett's ulcer develop.

Digital rectal examination to screen for prostatic cancer.

In a prospectively designed study 480 men, aged 45-67 years of age having routine medical examinations as part of the Occupational Health Service Program, underwent digital rectal examination to screen for early prostatic cancer. 26 men were referred to the Urology Service of the Aust-Agder Central Hospital for repeat examinations and further diagnostic procedures. Biopsies were performed on 16 patients, and transrectal ultrasound examination on 9. One patient was found to have prostate cancer. The value of an organized screening program for the detection of early prostatic cancer still seems to be under discussion.
