Gastric stump carcinoma.

In the periods between 1960 to 1973 and 1974 to 1984, 10 patients with stump carcinoma were observed for a total of 1399 and 618 gastric resections, respectively. Although the member of stump carcinomas is relatively low, it can be stated that the patients undergoing resection for gastric ulcer are more at risk in facing the development of stump cancer. It is striking that, even despite an improvement in diagnostic procedures, resectability has not changed. The prognosis of survival may afford some hope only in the case of an early diagnosis. Consequently, it is advisable to make an annual endoscopic control in the patients more at risk for having been resected for gastric ulcer.

[Surgical treatment of pectus excavatum by "turn over" of the sternum].

Operations were performed on 20 children for Pectus excavatum in five years. 'Turn over' of the sternum was chosen as surgical approach. About five years have passed from those operations, and results still are better than those obtained from earlier methods based on stabilisation of the sternum.

[Double-contrast study of the operated stomach in glucagon hypotonia].

In x-ray examination of the operated stomach, interruption of the motoric function yields additional information. Hence, the authors urgently recommend to initiate hypotonia besides employing the double-contrast method as first routine examination, in order to recognise any possible organic changes. Considerable improvement of diagnostic accuracy can be achieved by using suitable positive and negative contrast media in association with hypotonia.
