[Initial experiences in drainage operation for refractory ascites with saphenous valves].

Authors explains his operational procedure for the treatment of refractory ascites to replace generally used shunt types (LeVeen, Denver, Agishi). It means leading ascites fluid from the abdominal cavity into the venous system with the help of a silicone drain. For maintaining one-way flow they he used the double saphenous valve before the sapheno-femoral junction. They gives a step by step description of the procedures applied during the operation and also explains the first results. The method well deserves attention and further examination because it is simple, cheap and reliable due to the use of saphenous valves coming from the body itself.

[Successfully resected carotid glomus tumor].

A 76-years old man with carotid body tumor on the left carotid bifurcation was operated on, in August 1999. The rare tumor of the paraganglionic tissue was detected by ultrasonography and arteriography. Although these tumors have a very low incidence of malignancy, extirpation should be carried out. In this case, the tumor was removable by blunt and sharp dissection without resecting the fork of the carotid artery. The postoperative course was uneventful. They discussed the diagnostic and therapeutic steps of solution of this tumors.

[Late detection of vascular injuries].

Generally recognizing of traumatical vascular injuries isn't difficult since clinical signs and symptoms show them unambiguously. For some time-mainly in case of blunt and shot wounds-lacking unanimous signs the vascular injuries can't be diagnosed. Later on appearing symptoms as complications raise the chance of existence of an earlier vascular injury. In case of three patients the elapsing time between the vascular injury and its diagnosis was 4 weeks, 3 years and more than 50 years.

[The use of muscle flaps in the surgical treatment of infected vascular prosthesis].

The solutions for graft infection and its complications in vascular surgery are well known. However, publications dealing with this topic do not, or just occasionally mention muscular flap plast, which is already quite widely used in other fields of surgery. The authors first used pedicled muscular flap plasty in 1996, to cover grafts that had been exposed as a result of infection. Later, this method was also applied in covering subinguinal suturelines and anastomoses respectively, to ward off impending haemorrhage. Between 1996 and 1999, 32 patients presenting with septic complications after vascular surgery were treated. Muscular flap plasty was performed in 12 of these cases. In 7 patients the exposed graftsere covered, while in 5 patients the subinguinal suture-lines and anastomoses were covered respectively with muscle flaps, 5 of the graft covering procedures were successful. In two cases of superinfection and septic progression respectively the graft had to be removed without amputation of the extremity. 3 successful operations were recorded in the cases where the covering of the subinguinal suturelines and anastomoses were the aim. 2 patients presented with erosive haemorrhage, which led to ligation of the femoral artery and consequent amputation, in view of the absence of further possibilities for reconstruction.

[Intussusception in adults].

The authors report eight cases of intussusception of small and large intestine in adults during five years. 3 of the intussusception caused by simple tumors in five cases by malignant. In three cases were chronic presented long term signs and symptoms. Ileo-ileal invagination was diagnostised at 3 patients, ileo-caecal in one case and ileocolic intussusception also in one case. In 2 cases developed caeco-colic, in one case colo-colic invagination. Resection was strongly indicated in seven cases and wedge resection was done at the last patient. One patient has died of cerebral multiple embilization. They review the etiology and pathology, the signs and symptoms as well as the difficulties during diagnosis and treatment of the intussusceptions according to their own experience and literary datas. The authors draw the attention to the importance of the modern iconographic, tools, particularly the ultrasonography in the diagnosis of intussusception.
