[Transrectal polypectomy using a TEM (transanal endoscopic microsurgery) technique].

The paper describes the removal of a broad-based tubulo-villous adenoma from the middle rectum using a transanal endoscopic microsurgical technique. This procedure, which was introduced by Buess, Thess and Hutterer in 1983, represents an alternative to the classic transanal technique, compared to which it is more accurate, and to the trans-sacral and transperitoneal methods compared to which it is less invasive.

[Proctological surgery in the day-hospital regimen].

567 haemorrohoidectomies 83 of which total haemorrhoidectomies for piles with surgical indications, were performed with recourse to day-hospital admission. The authors examine the results of this experience and advise this therapy and this type of admission for pathologies with different cost/benefit ratio.

[Scintigraphy using indium-111-oxine as an aid to transrectal echography in the diagnosis of perianal abscess].

The paper describes the authors experience relating to the use of indium-111-oxine scintigraphy as an aid to transrectal echography in the diagnosis of difficult anal fistulas. This method has proved useful in locating otherwise undetected accumulations and in controlling the outcome of operations with a "slow resolution" of the surgical wound. The marker showed a good level of resolution in that, as already shown in the case of chronic inflammatory diseases, marked leukocytes are prevalently located on the site of infection.

[Carcinogenic perianal fistula].

The paper reports a case of anal fistula which led to the formation of a muco-secreting adenocarcinoma. The case is described in the context of other published case reports.

[First experiences with trans-rectal echotomography in perianal abscess pathology].

Trans-rectal ultrasound with a 5 MHz probe was used to examine 16 patients who had perianal fistulas and 5 of them underwent one or more surgical explorations. In 11 cases, all surgically checked, sonography was able to demonstrate a pararectal abscess and accurately image the site, size, extension and--in some cases--the fistula itself. It can be advised that, using high frequency probes (7 or 10 MHz), transrectal ultrasound could provide even more exact diagnostic information in anorectal pathology.

Telescopic anastomosis of the common bile duct in the rat.

A telescopic technique for the end-to-end anastomosis of the common bile duct in the rat is proposed as a way of reducing the number of sutures without prejudicing the impermeability of the union. Serial histological examinations of the scar process after 10, 20, and 30 days showed that patency was maintained.

[Pelviperineal recurrences in surgery of rectal carcinoma].

A series of pelviperineal recurrences after perineal-abdominal amputation of the rectum and after anterior resection is examined. Involvement of the rectal wall, the biological behaviour of the tumour, and lymphatic diffusion represent the main causes of recurrence. In some instances, the choice of anterior resection in the treatment of middle rectum carcinoma may constitute a risk factor.
