[Anastomosis of ducts and intestines in non-neoplastic bile duct stricture].

Recurrence of hepaticojejunal anastomotic stricture should be regarded as an operative risk, particularly in the case of patients with type III and IV stricture according to Bismuth classification. This complication should be taken into account, especially in the first five postoperative years. Since in some cases, biliary stricture has an insidious course with nebulous clinical symptoms. It becomes evident at the stage of advanced degenerative lesions in the liver. Success of the next surgical intervention is dependent to a great extent on whether reoperation is performed on patients with existing fibrotic and cirrhotic lesions in the liver. Considering the time of postoperative follow-up, patients with benign biliary stricture constitute a ++non-uniform group. Under such circumstances, the results can be standardised with the statistically approved Cutler-Ederer method. Prospective observations and rapid determination of indications for the next surgical intervention led to a permanent recovery rate of 92%, although single surgery brought permanent improvement in only 72-75% of the operated patients.

Cholestasis

Repeated reconstruction for recurrent benign bile duct stricture.

Since 1965, 101 operations for benign bile duct stricture have been performed, including 51 Roux-en-Y end-to-side hepaticojejunostomies. Complete follow-up to a mean of 12.5 years has been achieved. Nine patients required reoperation for stricture; the total cumulative late patency rate was 90 per cent, including successful repair. Seven of the nine patients who underwent a second operation had a favourable outcome. Early hepaticojejunostomy is a satisfactory treatment for recurrent biliary stricture.

Adult

[Hypocalcemia after thyroid surgery].

Serum calcium plays an important biological role in the organism. Normal level of the ionized part of serum calcium is indispensable for nerve conduction, enzyme activity, hormonal reaction and many other processes. Thyroid operations are connected with a risk of hypocalcaemia--more frequently transient (up to 6 months), and sometimes persistent. Thyroid operation correctly done enables to avoid hypocalcaemia of surgical causes such as excision, ischaemia or trauma to the parathyroids. There are also many causes of postoperative hypocalcaemia independent of surgical precision e.g. metabolic (bone hunger), drug-induced, and other. Persistent hypoparathyroidism causes a number of troublesome symptoms. The possibility of such complication after thyroid operation should be reduced to minimum.
