[Changes in lung function after cholecystectomy--open versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

Impairment of respiratory function after open cholecystectomy may cause atelectasis and hypoxemia. Clinical experience shows evidence for easier recovery after laparoscopic operation. Postoperative respiratory function using spirometric tests was assessed in 50 patients with simple symptomatic cholecystolithiasis submitted either to open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy and revealed less impairment of respiratory function in the laparoscopic group.

[Esophageal perforations].

The opportunity of having successfully treated a patient with intrathoracic perforation of the Oesophagus and many surgical complications, led us to review the literature on the subject. We then discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the various technical options, concluding that immediate Oesophagectomy is the best solution for this type of perforation, with several hours of evolution and serious mediastinite, to reduce surgical complications and mortality.

[Prophylaxis of postoperative thromboembolism. Randomized prospective study].

The difference between a non fractioned heparin (Liquemine) and another of low molecular weight (Fraxiparine) was compared through: hemostasis difficulties, during and after surgery; the use of transfusions; clinical signs of inferior limb vein thrombosis or pulmonary emboli; laboratory results of blood (hemogramme, biochemistry, coagulation) and urine. The results observed in 500 patients, (250 of each heparin) statistically treated, show that no difference was found between the two groups of patients, which lead us to conclude that both heparins have the same effect. Low molecular weight has the advantage of being administrated only once a day.
