[Endoscopic bipolar coagulation of acute gastroduodenal hemorrhage].

The authors describe one possible way of endoscopic haemostasis, i.e. by bipolar coagulation. First they give an account of the principle of the method and technique of coagulation. Then they demonstrate on their own group of patients with haemorrhage into the gastroduodenum a 71% effectiveness of haemostasis by this method. In another 10% a temporary effect was achieved with the possibility of effective supplementation of the blood volume and thus an improved prognosis of surgery. In case of failure, in particular haemorrhage according to Forest Ia, they warn against any delay of surgery.

Acute Disease

[Hemostatsis during liver resection using the Leister Hot-Jet coagulator].

The authors present their own experience with the use of a hot-jet coagulator in resections of the liver. The principle is based on contact-free transmission of thermal energy by means of a current of hot air to achieve haemostasis and tissue coagulation. They mention the use of the apparatus in animal experiments and in resections of the liver in nine patients. They recommend the procedure as one possibility of haemostasis where conventional methods do not affect haemostasis.

Animals

[Liver resection].

The authors present the experience of their department with resections of the liver. Their main attention is focused on indications and the technique of operation. During the period from 1981 to April 1990 at the Surgical Clinic in Brno 50 resections of the liver were made. Thirty patients with benign diseases were operated and 18 patients with malignant diseases. The group comprised only those resections where at least one liver segment was removed. In two patients re-resection on account of a tumour relapse was performed. For arrest of haemorrhage from the resection area the authors recommend in addition to careful surgical treatment also the use of fibrin glue.

Adolescent

[Gastric volvulus].

Patient with gastric volvulus of secondary type due to paraesophageal hernia is reported. The possibility of gastric volvulus has to be considered in light of the severity of the condition and its relatively rare occurrence. Contrast esophagography and swallow in the lateral projection will confirm the diagnosis.
