[Stapled hemorrhoidectomy: critical observation on state of art].
The authors review pros and cons of stapled hemorrhoidectomy (SH). Postoperative primary lower than after hemorrhoidectomy, but no data are available on the long term recurrences in large prospective series. Severe postoperative complications have been reported and SH seems less effective in patients with 4th degree files. SH is a useful technique, provided that proper indication are strictly followed and the procedure is carried out by specialists.

[The use of human fibrin glue in fistulous pathology of the lung].
Currently, bronchopleural fistulas present a decreasing complication rate in thoracic surgery, especially since surgical management of tubercular infections is no longer needed. The introduction of non-reacting suture materials and the technological advances have also lowered the incidence of such complication. Although fistulas tend to be chronic, their treatment is possible. Today, in fact, the use of human fibrin glue gives positive results which depend on the extent of the fistula as well as the adherence of the glue to the bronchial wall. The authors report their experience in two cases treated with human fibrin glue.

[Intestinal perforation caused by a chicken bone: apropos of a clinical case].
Ingestion of foreign bodies (FB) seems to be a relatively common occurrence in certain classes of people. The majority of ingested objects reach the stomach end 80% of these pass spontaneously without complications. However nearly 20% of FB that pass from the stomach result in complication distally such to required a surgical operation. The authors report a case of chicken bone perforation of the ileus, which was diagnosed by surgical operation. The case reported is of interest for several reason. The lack of condition that can predispose patients to accidental ingestion of FB, no specific history of FB ingestion and the impossibility to detect chicken bones on plain radiography.
