Two cases of splenic complications occurring during chronic pancreatitis are reported. One patient with a splenic pseudocyst and the other with a ruptured spleen. From the two cases and from a review of the world literature, clinical symptoms, pathogenicity and diagnosis of this condition are described. Prophylactic splenectomy during surgery for chronic pancreatitis is suggested.
The A. suggest a modification of Stojanovick primary technique in the treatment of gastric cancer in the elderly. They reviewed pathology of gastric resected patients with exclusion of duodenal transit and they foretell such a technique because of a quicker performance, the scantiness of post-operative complication and, at the end, the complete lack of malabsorption syndromes which are so frequent in gastric resected patients.

150 operations on the large intestine performed in 1976-81 are presented with the percentage of dehiscences following surgery. In considering the problem of fistulas arising on the colonic sutures, the more frequent aetiopathogenetic factors are examined. The percentages reported are compared with those produced by the best medical schools. Curves recommended in recent literature are also reported.
2 groups of patients were given anterior rectal resections, one of the groups also receiving protective colostomy. Results show the usefulness of protective colostomy, not so much because it reduces the incidence of anastomotic dehiscence as because it minimizes the possible consequences of any such dehiscence.
