[Preparation for elective colon surgery using the mannitol-ceftriaxone method].

The study includes 450 patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. Patients were divided in three groups. 140 patients were prepared with conventional enema and purgatives and a Neomycin-metronidazole prophylaxis. 160 patients of the second group were prepared with mannitol (10%) oral 12 hours before the operation and a single dose of ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 2 g intravenously 2 hours before surgery. 150 patients of the third group were prepared with mannitol by the same way described above, and a combination of ceftriaxone 2 g i. v. and metronidazole 500 mg. i. v. two hours before the operation. The study proved that the mannitol combined with ceftriaxone provides a sufficient preparation for colorectal surgery within 12 hours prior the operation. The rate of septic complications and septic deaths was higher in the first group then in the two others. The combination of metronidazole used in the third group showed no advantage versus single dose ceftriaxone alone.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mediastinum.

A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the right postero-superior mediastinum in a 43-year-old male patient is presented. He was operated on and a part of the tumor including the infiltrated second segment of the lung was resected. At reoperation, the great vessels were found infiltrated by the tumor and radical exstirpation could not be carried out. The patient died 4 months after discovery of his disease due to further growth of the tumor. This case is the fifth malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mediastinum described in the world literature.

Anorectal sarcomas.

The authors report on their observations of nine patients with anorectal sarcoma. They agree with others that best results can be expected from radical surgery. Even in operable patients anorectal sarcomas have a worse prognosis than other malignant lesions in the same region.

Elective Hartmann's Operation.

Hartmann's operation has been performed as an elective intervention. In the case of tumours of the sigmoid and the upper two-thirds of the rectum this operation involves less risk and less stress than Dixon's anterior resection or extirpation of the abdominoperineal rectum. Hartmann's operation is being performed on, and is recommended for, elderly patient and for those suffering from some serious intercurrent disease having therefore a reduced resistance to operational strain. The authors removed under these conditions 16 sigmoidorectal tumours. In 12 cases the operation consisted of radical extirpation.

[Operability and prognosis of rectosigmoid cancer].

The data of 571 rectosigmoidal cancer patients treated between 1959 and 1972 analysed to establish the factors hindering operability. The most important factor was a belated diagnosis. Suggestions are made for early diagnosis to improve the rate of early operations and thereby the prognosis.
