[Ileo-sigmoid knot. 16 cases].

A retrospective study of 16 cases of ileo sigmoid knot, treated at Treichville Hospital in Abidjan Côte-d'Ivoire, is reported by the authors between 1970 and 1989. This pathology is not so seldom and concerned 14 men and 2 women from 14 years old to 61 years old with an average of 42 years. The more precise description of the physiopathology of this occlusion allows to classify this pathology as an independent entity from the other types of volvulus. The physiopathologic knowledge described allow a more precise diagnostic approach and a better codified therapeutic attitude.

[Cure of an enormous eventration by abdominoplasty. Technical note. A case report].

The secondary eventrations after delivery are the prime cause of women's eventrations. These eventrations are enormous in Africa because the post-partum women do not make active movements to develop again the abdominal strap. In Europa or North America the treatment would make use of prosthetic materials but in Africa the climatic and working conditions do not take the utilization of such method. The authors purpose a cure allied aponevroplasty according to JUDD technique with abdominoplasty. The result is satisfactory and durable.

[Intra-keloid excision and deferred corticoid infiltration in the treatment of keloids. University Hospital Center of Treichville-Abidjan].

On a series of 38 keloid surgery patients the authors noted a strong female predominance and the frequency of ear lobule keloid. After some rather unsuccessful excision-suture of the keloid they recommend the intra- keloid excision to be followed by a late corticoid infiltration but deferred until the 15th day. The results obtained were encouraging but some researches have to be made with regard to the etiology of this affection which might probably resolve the therapeutic problem.
