[Peroperative peritoneal lavage and intra-abdominal instillation of antibiotics in an experiment].

The authors present the results of an experiment on dogs where lethal diffuse peritonitis was induced in the standard way and was treated only by peroperative peritoneal lavage during reoperation within 24 hours. In the first group (n = 10) this method alone reduced the mortality despite the adverse prognosis to 70%, after addition of an effective antibiotic and metronidazole into the last lot of the lavage solution in the second equally sized group to 10%. The results prove a marked therapeutic asset of this method which as part of comprehensive treatment of peritonitis improves substantially the final effect also under clinical conditions.

[Successful treatment of injuries of the abdominal aorta].

The authors describe successful treatment of severe haemorrhagic shock caused by profuse haemorrhage from the infrarenal portion of the abdominal aorta. After primary treatment of the perforation by a vascular suture reoperation was necessary because of repeated haemorrhage from that site, and for closure of the dehiscence Dacron stitch was used.

Fibroepithelial polyp in a child.

Only 15 cases of fibroepithelial polyp in children have been reported in the world medical literature. Clinical differentiation between this tumor and a malignant ureteral tumor is difficult and often results in unnecessary nephrectomy. We report the sixteenth case of a child with fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter. The lesion was resected, and the kidney was preserved. Optimum treatment of this lesion mandates renal preservation in children. The rationale for this recommendation is explored.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in children.

We report on a child with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis--an uncommon entity in children. A review of the literature revealed that in only 18 per cent was the diagnosis made correctly preoperatively. In children the disease is of a focal nature rather than a diffuse one, suggesting that possibly radical surgery would be less necessary for adequate treatment.
