Thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer: a report on eight operated cases.

Eight cases of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, representing 0.96% of overall hyperfunctioning thyroid diseases (835), surgically treated are reported. Clinical and pathological data, and type of treatment are summarized. The etiopathogenic hypotheses about possible relations between thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer are discussed. In the presence of thyrotoxicosis, preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer is rather difficult, but awareness of the potential association and careful examination of any suspect nodularity make it possible to recognize minimal malignant foci and adequately treat them with total thyroidectomy and, when required, modified neck dissection.

[Extension of total thyroidectomy to the cellulo-lympho-thymic tissue of the anterior superior mediastinum].

Stress is laid on the importance of the cellulo-lympho-thymic tissue of the anterior-superior mediastinum in demolition surgery for thyroid cancer. For this reason, a straightforward, reliable technique for removing the thyrothymic lamina by the cervical route has been prepared. Experimented on cadavers, this method has been used for superior mediastinic lymphnode exeresis in all cases where it was indicated.

[An assessment of neuronal regeneration in neural anastomoses by synthetic guide and biological systems and insulin administration: an experimental study in the rat].

The synthetic and biological nerve guide regeneration gives interesting perspective of use in making artificial conduits for peripheral nerve reconstruction. In sixty Wistar rats, under general anesthesia and with microsurgical technique, the ischiatic nerve was isolated. On the right side a segment of the nerve was removed in order to create a 10 mm gap. The defect then repaired using the conduit. Control were performed at 20, 90, 180 days and consisted in histological microscopy and electromyography investigation. The regeneration of the nerve fibers in the lumen of the conduit was not significantly different on the contralateral nerve limb.

Surgical controversies in the treatment of recurrent achalasia of the esophagus.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Surgery remains the first choice for achalasia of the esophagus with good results in 90% of cases. METHODOLOGY: We studied the cause of failure for surgical treatment and the results of a second operation in 20 patients that were followed up for at least three years. RESULTS: The results were good in 70% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: To improve this procedure, according to the authors, it is essential for a careful presurgery evaluation, an early reoperation in case of failure and a careful surgical technique in order to avoid periesophageal sclerosis.

[Ultrasound-guided trans-parietohepatic cholecystostomy in the critical patient: current indications].

The appearance of acute cholecystitis can make to complicate a natural history of cholelitiasis or post-operating time of patients that have concomitant predisposition factors. The best therapy is the cholecystectomy but somewhere for the critical general conditions is too much dangerous to make a surgical procedure. However we need to stabilize patients conditions, also for a short time. Our experience suggest us that percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy is a simple method without any complications, efficacious to resolve the acute sepsis in patients with cholecystitis that not be able to tolerate a surgical procedure.
