Seldom found acute abdomen: perforated diverticulum in the transverse colon.

The authors report a recently examined rare case of isolated perforated diverticulum of the transverse colon. At surgery, a perforated omentum-sealed diverticulum was found in the third distal wall of the transverse colon. A diverticulectomy was performed. The postoperative course was excellent.

Intestinal occlusion secondary to Morgagni-Larrey's herniation in an adult. Case report and analysis of the literature.

Morgagni-Larrey's hernias are congenital diaphragmatic hernias, rarely observed and generally identified accidentally due to the lack of symptoms. The authors report a case of intestinal occlusion secondary to Morgagni-Larrey herniation in an adult recently observed and underline the aetiopathogenic aspects, the diagnostic tools and the clinical pattern. They suggest to consider surgical repair as a choice of treatment, also for asymptomatic patients.

Indobufen vs acetylsalicylic acid plus dipyridamole in long-term patency after femoropopliteal bypass.

To compare the effects of indobufen (INB) with those of ASA+dipyridamole (DP) on graft patency, 113 patients undergoing femoropopliteal bypass surgery were randomly and blindly assigned to treatment with INB 400 mg daily or with ASA 900 mg daily plus DP 225 mg daily. Treatment started 2 days before surgery and lasted for 12 months. All patients underwent two angiographic examinations: the first early after surgery (mean 6 days) and the second at the end of the study (mean 368 days). The 1 year cumulative patency rate for INB was 60% higher but not statistically different from the ASA-DP group (53.2%). The relative risk (INB/ASA+DP) calculated by the Mantel-Haenszel test was 0.86 (confidence limits 0.54-1.35). Only the site of operation (above-knee or below-knee) has a significant prognostic value on the fate of the graft.

[Ketoprofen in the prevention of postoperative pain in abdominal surgery. A multicenter study].

Two-hundred-forty-eight patients undergoing abdominal surgery were admitted to a multicentric clinical trial. The patients were randomly assigned to a single i.v. dose of ketoprofen or acetylsalicylic acid, 15 minutes after the end of operation. Ketoprofen showed a better analgesic activity with a statistically significant difference at 2 and 4 hours after administration. Two patients treated with ketoprofen reported vomiting and skin rash respectively. The results of this study confirm the efficacy of ketoprofen for the prophylaxis of postoperative pain in abdominal surgery.

The elongation of the internal carotid artery. Diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Cerebro-vascular insufficiency is rarely caused by an abnormal elongation of the internal carotid artery (the ratio is 15% to 17% of symptomatic patients). The anomalies can be defined as: tortuosity, when the artery has a "C" or "S" shape; coiling, when the elongation is more evident and the artery forms one or more loops; kinking, when there is a sharp angulation of the first portion of the internal carotid artery. The etiology of these peculiar arterial modifications seems to be related to a congenital basis which may become exaggerated with ageing of the artery. Surgical correction should include intra-arterial inspection (TEA) as well as eliminating the pathological elongation. The Authors presents their 9 cases surgical experience.

[Deep venous thrombosis and surgery. Assessment of the main risk factors].

Deep venous thrombosis is a quite frequent pathology with a high degree of morbidity and death-rate. Two are the main problems of this disease: the risk of pulmonary embolism and outcome of a post-thrombotic syndrome, leading patients to infirmity. The patients max exposed to the risk of deep venous thrombosis are the surgical ones: the authors, with a retrospective study on 480 surgical patients, examine the risk factors mostly related with the onset of deep venous thrombosis. At the end they refer about connection between the risk factors studied and the clinical display of in surgical patients.

[Thoracic lymphadenectomy in video-assisted mini-invasive thoracic surgery. First experience].

The Authors report their experience in the thoracoscopic surgical treatment of neurovascular abnormalities of the upper extremities. The experience acquired in the last two years with mini-invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery of the pleura and lung forced the Authors to perform thoracic sympathectomy following the same approach. In this way 4 thoracic sympathectomies were performed in 3 patients. Two of them presented Raynaud's phenomenon, and one was affected by bilateral idiophatic upper limb hyperhidrosis. The operation is performed thanks to 3 12mm Thoracoports that allow the introduction of the telescope and operative instruments. It is easy to recognize and remove the sympathetic gangliar chain from T2 to T3. The short operative time required, the absence of mortality and morbidity, the regression of the symptomatology, the rapid return to work authorize to consider endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy the gold standard in the treatment of neurovascular abnormalities of the upper extremities.
