Bran diet for an earlier resolution of post-operative ileus.

The effect of a pre-operative high fibre diet on the resolution of ileus following cholecystectomy has been evaluated. The time needed to restore canalization of the gastro-intestinal tract has been compared in two random groups of patients (a total of thirty-eight) one treated with wheat bran and the other as control without the diet supplementation. The average persistence of ileus was 24 hours in the treated group and 54 hours in the control group. These results suggest that a bran-enriched diet could be an inexpensive and simple treatment to shorten the duration of ileus after abdominal surgery.

[Althesin in urologic surgery].

Results obtained with Althesin as anaesthetic in 100 patient subjected to urological surgery are presented. The continuous perfusion of Althesin gave a level of stable and flexible anaesthesia that, like the return to consciousness, was particularly appreciated by aged patients. Stress is laid on the fact that the harm caused by volatile anaesthetics is avoided.
