[Excision of a splenic cyst using a surgical stapler in partial splenectomy].

The authors extirpated the splenic cyst of a young girl with the use of stapler in such a way that the distal part of the spleen was preserved. During this case the types of splenic preservative operations and the question of fulminant sepsis found in the patients went under splenectomy were surveyed. According to us the advantage of using stapler in partial splenectomy than the others is that firstly it is technically simple, less time consuming, and the haemostasis is safe. This is thought to be a valuable additional procedure to the ultimately known and the procedures which are used.

[Benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum].

A case of benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma is reported. A 25-year-old woman presented a 8-year history of recurrent tumor and five operations because of the same. On the basis of this case and of 18 cases proved by electron microscopy reported by others the clinicopathological features and the problems of differential diagnosis are discussed. The ultrastructural examination is essential for the diagnosis of cystic mesothelioma.

[Ultrasound-guided percutaneous antegrade wirsungography in chronic calcifying pancreatitis].

Dilated pancreatic duct was found by ultrasonography in a patient in association with the characteristic sonographic features of chronic calcifying pancreatitis. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography showed an obstruction of the Wirsung's duct 3 cm far from the papilla of Vater. Further parts of the duct could not be opacified by this manner. However, visualisation of the rest of the pancreatic duct was successfully performed by ultrasonically guided antegrade wirsungography making the preoperative planning of the suitable type of surgery possible. Beside the case history the importance of the is method is also discussed in diagnosis of pancreatic diseases.

[The role of intraoperative ultrasonic studies in abdominal surgery].

Intraoperative echography is a new field of application of the ultrasound diagnostics. With a special intraoperative examination head the parenchymal abdominal organs may be examined directly in the course of the operation. The intraoperative echo-examination of the tumors and cysts of the liver and pancreas as well as of nephroliths and gallstones is routinely applied in several institutions abroad. The authors report on their initial experiences with intraoperative ultrasonography of different abdominal organs.

Pancreatogastrostomy: an ideal complement to pancreatic head resection with preservation of the pylorus in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

We have reported our experience with pancreatoduodenectomy with preservation of the pylorus performed in 37 patients for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis and its complications. The remaining pancreatic tail duct was occluded in 12 patients without anastomosis. Eight complications were observed and reoperation was necessary in two patients. Three complications and one reoperation occurred in the 25 patients who underwent pancreatogastrostomy. There was no operative mortality in the 37 patients. Six to 30 months postoperatively, 23 patients were free of complaints, the average weight gain was 7.6 kg, and so far no marginal ulcers have developed. Technically, pancreatogastrostomy is easy and complications may be identified early. According to our results, this type of anastomosis is the most favorable so far and is particularly suitable for the significant reduction of complications and deaths related to partial pancreatoduodenectomy.

[Endoscopic occlusion treatment in patients with chronic pancreatitis].

Between 1980 and 1983 an endoscopic occlusion of pancreatic duct was performed in 12 patients with chronic pancreatitis. In 4 patients it could be achieved a complete, in 8 patients only a partial occlusion. Four patients became free of pain whereas 5 patients have been operated on following an aggrevation of disease. After one year diabetes mellitus developed in 2 patients. We conclude that the endoscopic occlusion of the pancreatic duct may be recommended in some patients with defined diagnosis and special duct constellation.

[Complications following duodenopancreatectomy in chronic pancreatitis].

42 partial and 5 total duodenopancreatectomies performed during the last ten years are reported. Complications--fistula, abscess, bleeding, insufficiency--occurred in 21 cases (46.5%). In 11 patients reoperation becomes necessary (23.4%) 6 patients died (12.7%). The advantages of primary partial duodenopancreatectomy comparing to other surgical procedures are discussed. Some surgical techniques in reducing the complication rate are recommended.
