[Intraoperative esophageal manometry].

The intraoperative esophageal manometry (IEM) has been used to improve results in operative management of gastroesophageal reflux and achalasia. The IEM pointed out the necessity to perform an antireflux procedure with an intraoperative sphincter pressure higher than normal, because the measured postoperative sphincter pressures were one-half the intraoperative values measured after repair. Nevertheless some authors failed to find any correlation between intraoperative and subsequent postoperative sphincter pressure measurements. The Authors, in their experience, achieved the same results with and without IEM in the surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux and achalasia. For this reason The IEM does not seem to be necessary when performing the standard Nissen or Heller procedure. It is probably useful in the surgical treatment of patients with motor disorders or sclerodermia associated with reflux and in patients who have had multiple prior operations for reflux or achalasia.

[Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome].

Trapped popliteal artery syndrome is relatively uncommon: the literature reports some 60 cases. The clinical picture is linked to compression of the popliteal artery by the gastrocnemius as it contracts, thus distorting the arterial route. The result is an interruption in the blood flow distally to the area involved due to stenosis of the blood vessel that is at first functional but becomes organic.

[Intestinal tuberculosis--a clinical case].

The intestinal tuberculosis is a rare disease in Europe and in North America. It is an important disease because some patients can develop intestinal stricture or subacute intestinal obstruction and, sometimes, tuberculous peritonitis. It is often difficult differentiate intestinal tuberculosis from Crohn's disease or intestinal tumors. The treatment is controversial and may be medical or surgical, but the response to medical therapy is not clear, especially in complicated disease. The authors report a case of ileal tuberculosis treated with surgical therapy.

[Angiomyolipoma of the kidney].

The renal angiomyolipoma is a rare, benign, no epithelial neoplasm. It is frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis, above all in young patients. It may be under an asymptomatic form, especially if it deals of a small volume neoplasm, and sometimes it becomes evident only when it occurs an haemorrhagic complication. When we have a sure diagnosis and a small tumor, the treatment is preservative; on the contrary it is surgical either for big symptomatic neoplasms or haemorrhagic complications. The authors report a clinical case of renal angiomyolipoma in a pregnant patient, who had an haemorrhagic complication and was treated with nephrectomy.
