[Pseudomyxoma peritonei].

With reference to the clinical courses of three patients treated at the Department of Surgery, National Institute of Oncology, Budapest, the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal pseudomyxoma has been reviewed. The disease is considered to be a rare low grade malignancy. Abdominal ultrasonography, computer tomography and laparoscopy are of significance in the diagnosis of this disease which is yet confirmed usually during surgery. The treatment is principally surgical, the results of chemotherapy are modest. The disease has a slow course and is susceptible to recurrence. Despite of early diagnosis and radical surgery cure can be reached rarely.

[Pregnancy and colorectal cancer].

Among 1761 patients operated on for colorectal malignancies by the authors in a period of 20 years, four cases were diagnosed during pregnancy. Beside analyzing the case-histories they present the relevant literature data: the incidence of colorectal tumors during pregnancy is 4-5 cases/100,000 pregnancies, and most frequently they are situated in the rectum. The prognosis of primary colorectal malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy is unfavourable, and their biological behavior is more aggressive. Authors review the advised diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in different periods of pregnancy.

[Possibilities of treatment of open fractures of the tibia].

Results of healing in 477 cases of open leg fractures treated in the Central Institut of Traumatology in Budapest are analysed in the article. 47,2% of cases were treated by closed methods. The authors are convinced that careful conservative management leads to good results, if the type of the fracture is suitable. Conditions of operative treatment are outlined. In favourable circumstances a stable internal fixation should be performed, otherwise inramedullary wiring and plaster may hold the fragments until healing occurs. Soft tissues should be handled carefully and placing sutures under tension must be avoided, by all means.

[Treatment of contracture of the finger joints by capsulectomy and spring-splints].

The treatment performed in 84 cases of contracted PIP articulations is reported, -in 50 cases the treatment has been carried out with spring-actuated splint and in 34 cases with capsulectomy. It has been found by the authors that the results of the physico-therapeutic treatment used so-far may be still more improved, -satisfactory result has been obtained in more than the half of the author's cases. The advantages of the use of the spring-acutatd splint as against Quengel's method are emphasized. Capsulectomy performed in very serious cases resulted in improvement of the articulation motion in 50% of the cases.
