[Fibrin sealant in tension free hernioplasty: our experience].

The aim of this study was to prove that it is possible to fix mesh sutureless with Tissucol in the Lichtenstein procedure. The mesh fixation with Tissucol was done in 28 patients. Respect the traditional Lichtenstein technique, which was done in the remaining 28 patients, the advantages of using Tissucol are: no surgical trauma, total mesh fixation, no pain, reduced morbidity and reduced costs. Furthermore it is a safe and reproducible method. The results are promising, even if the verification goes more carried out with consisting casuistics and longer follow-up.

[Day surgery for breast cancer in the elderly].

Early diagnosis of breast cancer and improvement of new technologies for identification and analysis of sentinel node allow more conservative surgical approaches, which guarantee both excellent local control and a good quality of life, also in elderly patients. We have studied a series of 28 women aged 70 years or older and affected by breast cancer. They underwent breast-preserving surgery either alone or in association with axillary lymphadenectomy and all of them had early discharge from hospital. This approach demonstrated to be safe and effective, so we may conclude that day-surgery treatment of breast cancer in these patients is possible in the majority of cases, is associated with low morbidity and is profitable for clinical, social and economic issues.

Pathological evaluation in colorectal polyps endoscopic treatment.

This retrospective study shows that endoscopic polypectomy is the technique of choice to remove the majority of polyps; follow-up and pathologic examinations shed light on the carcinogenesis of colorectal lesions. From January 1990 to December 2001, 1302 adenomatous polyps were removed, 1175 endoscopically, 127 with surgical procedures. The anatomical and morphologic conditions of the colon and some characteristics of the polyps represent limits to the feasibility and to the efficacy of polypectomy, and the most important variables for the correct management of the patients affected by colorectal adenomatous polyps.
