[Surgical therapy of liver metastases secondary to colorectal neoplasms].

Of the therapeutic aids currently available for the treatment of liver metastases, surgical treatment, when possible, has acquired an irreplaceable role. The exact criteria needed to establish a correct indication still have to be established. Various factors have been examined so far: number, site, dimensions of the metastases and features of the primary tumour whose prognostic importance does not lend itself to unequivocable interpretation. Personal experience of a series of 11 surgically treated cases seems to confirm that of the parameters analysed, the tumour-host relationship remains the most important prognostic factor.

[Grade II and III acute pancreatitis. Diagnostic classification and surgical treatment].

Thirteen cases of acute IIIrd degree pancreatitis and 5 homogeneous cases of IInd degree, treated surgically during the first 48 hours from onset of the symptomatology, are described. The importance of careful cardiorespiratory, haemodynamic and metabolic monitoring to establish the most appropriate moment for intervention after a period of intensive therapy designed to restore the basic parameters is stressed. In the present series, total mortality was 44%. Forms with biliary aetiology have the best prognosis and justify the earliest possible surgical intervention.

[Surgical treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer. Review of 36 cases].

Results obtained in the surgical management of 36 cases of perforated duodenal ulcer treated between January 1976 and November 1979 are presented. A choice was made between three methods (suturing, excision plus pyloroplasty and truncular vagotomy, and Péan-Billroth resection and reconstruction) in the light of the duration of the disease, the extent of the duodenal alterations, and the concomitance of serious disorders. No account was taken of age, the time elapsed between perforation and treatment, or the extent of peritoneal reaction.

[Role of total parenteral nutrition in the treatment of ulcerous colitis].

Reference is made to the literature and personal experience in an assessment of the rôle of total parenteral nutrition in ulcerative colitis. An estimate is made of the position of this form of treatment with respect to conventional medical and surgical management, and its influence on the natural course of the disease. The results observed in 6 patients treated in this way are reported and the treatment protocol employed for the management of ulcerative colitis in a surgical department is described.

[beta-cell pancreatic hyperplasia. Considerations on a clinical case].

Differential haematological and instrumental examinations (OGTT, protracted fasting, i.v. tolbutamide, blood insulin, pancreatic scintiscanning, oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, panoramic abdominal arteriography, and selective arteriography of the coeliac trunk), preceded subtotal pancreasectomy in a severe case of hypoglycaemia attributable to organic hyperinsulinism. Epstein's method was used to extract insulin from the pancreatic tissue for radioimmunological assay.
