[Indications, technic and immediate and long-term results of cryosurgery of hemorrhoids. Personal experience].

Haemorrhoid cryosurgery in 528 cases operated since the University of Genoa Colon and Rectum Diseases Centre opened is illustrated. It is shown that the complete success of this technique is dependent on careful preoperative assessment, adoption of a suitable method, and proper post-operative management. An analysis of these three parameters is followed by a description of the immediate and 1-yr follow-up results observed in the reported series. The soundness of the method is asserted. Stress is laid on the fact that cryosurgery offers a valid alternative to conventional surgical methods, provided its indications are strictly adhered to.

[Usefulness of antibiotic prophylaxis in emergency abdominal surgery].

Two groups of patients submitted to emergency abdominal surgery were examined. The first group was treated with antibiotics before surgery whereas the second group was treated with antibiotics only following surgery. The percentage of local and general complications, the bacteria involved and recovery times were compared for the two groups. It is concluded that presurgical antibiotic cover is necessary to give sure prevention against local and general complications.

[Delayed intestinal cannulation in the postoperative period].

550 patients given abdominal or extra-abdominal surgery in the first six months of 1980 were examined to provide data on the incidence of delayed postoperative canalisation. Both general (sex, age, physical constitution) and surgical (extent of surgery, whether the peritoneal sac was opened) factors were considered. The data collected provide information on the prophylaxis and therapy of delayed postoperative canalisation.
