Two extensive giant-cell tumours of the proximal humerus treated by resection-reconstruction or excochleation-cryosurgery.

Giant-cell tumours of bone occur infrequently. Recurrence is often observed following excochleation. Due to the fact that most of these tumours are located in the epiphysis of long bones, treatment of extensive tumours with preservation of joint function usually is troublesome. Two patients are presented: one underwent resection and implantation of an endoprosthesis, the other one excochleation in combination with cryosurgery.

Cryosurgical treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts.

An aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign, locally aggressive bone process which frequently recurs after excochleation. Exocochleation can be extended without loss of bone tissue by making use of cryosurgery. This combined technique was used in the treatment of 5 patients, without complications. None of the patients described had a demonstrable recurrence 12-60 (average 35) months after this combined therapy.

Perforating rectal injuries.

The symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment of perforating rectal injuries are discussed. An analysis is presented of the data concerning 24 patients with intra- and extraperitoneal penetration of the rectum. Factors that contribute to the continuing high mortality rate of rectal perforation are its rarity, the highly infectious character of faecal contamination of the abdominal cavity or perirectal tissue, and the fact that examination often reveals little or no external trauma. The treatment of choice would appear to be an aggressive approach based on faecal diversion and drainage, supplemented with peroperative irrigation of the injured rectum.
