[Repair of large vesical wall defects with lyophilized dura mater. Experimental research (author's transl)].

In order to evaluate whether and how far a fuller case documentation can contribute to a better knowledge of the real possibilities of the lyophilised human dura mater in the field of vesical alloplastic surgery, the Authors present and discuss the results they obtained during the course of experimental research. In the light of personal histological documents, they stress the absence of reject phenomena, a property which, together with the absence of precipitates, the complete re-epithelialisation of the transition epithelium and the possibility of ensuring good vesical capacity, evidence that lyophilised human dura mater has full rights to a place in repair surgery of large vesical wall defects.

[Partial replacement of the ureter with lyophilized human dura mater. Experimental research (author's transl)].

In order to evaluate whether and how for lyophilized human dura mater deserves to be used in the field of ureteral alloplastic surgery, the authors present and discuss the results they obtained during the course of experimental research. In the light of their personal histological documents, they stress the absence of reject phenomena, a property which, together with the absence of precipitates, the complete reepithelialisation of the transition epithelium and the ability to ensure normal ureteral perviousness, evidences that lyophilised human dura mater has full rights to a place in substitutive surgery of a segment of ureter, in particular the lumbo-liiac segment.

[A case of giant fibroadenoma of the breast in adolescence].

Starting from a personal observation of a giant fibroadenoma of the breast in a girl aged 13, the authors review the possible causes of massive swelling of the breast in adolescence. Next, they analyze the salient anatomoclinical aspects of giant fibroadenoma, benign phylloid cystosarcoma, and virginal mammary hypertrophy. The conclude that the surgeon should do everything possible to arrive at the histological diagnosis of fibroadenoma intraoperative--that is, extemporaneously--in order to avoid treating as a malignancy a possible benign phylloid cystosarcoma.

[Doctrinal and clinical aspects of cancer of the male breast].

On the base of a recent observation of one case of male mamma carcinoma, the authors examine the generalities and the etiopathogenetic factors of this rare tumor, also on the base of the most recent acquisitions on hormonal receptors. Then they stop on the characteristics of clinical picture, and outline the high frequency of unfavourable events, at the first medical examination already. In the end they outline the elective treatment and the therapy for the recovery of the cases with metastasis and they present the results of the most qualified mondial casuistry.

[A-mode echography in surgery: a study of solitary thyroid nodules (author's transl)].

As part of their exploration of the possibilities afforded by A-mode ultrasonic investigation in several disorders of surgical interest, the authors report the results obtained in the study of solitary thyroid nodules. More precisely, after a brief explanation of ultrasonics, current apparatus for echography, and methods for echographic examination, they describe the semiological features exploited in A-mode echography: namely nodules with liquid content, mixed content, solid homogeneous content, and solid heterogeneous content. They conclude with considerations on the principles and indications of this diagnostic procedure in the light of their personal experience.

[A-mode echography in surgery. Study of nodular lesions of the breast].

In the context of researches for studying the possibilities of ultrasonic A-mode research for a diagnosis of thyroid, mamma and abdominal organs affections, in this first part the authors make known the results obtained studying nodulary lesions. After a short notice about ultra-sounds, echoscopic apparati and methods for echoscopic research, they outline the semeiologic characters for echoscopic A-mode diagnostic and they stop on echoscopic obtained pictures: liquid crops, nodulary images with homogeneus echostructure scarcely ecogena and nodulary images with not homogeneus echostructure highly ecogena. Then they ended with some considerations about the principles and the indications of this method, in the light of personal experience.

[Echinococcic cyst of the thyroid].

The Authors, starting from observation of a hydatid cyst of the thyroid, make an examination of this very rare pathological occurrence. They then put forward and evaluate the fundamental problem linked to this localisation of hydatidosis, a problem which can be summed up as the lack of pathological identification of the clinical pattern and the consequent ease of making a diagnostic error. They conclude by stating that the sole differential diagnostic criterion in relation to other diseases that may be considered (cystic uninodular goitre, adenoma, epithelial cyst, haematic pseudocyst) consists in the simple recollection of the possible existence of this very rare localisation of the echinococcus.

[Extramucosal single-layer suture with multifilament stainless steel wires in surgery of the colon. Experimental research].

With a view to evaluating whether and how far a fuller case documentation may contribute to a better knowledge of the real possibilities of multifilament stainless steel wires in surgery of the colon, the Authors present and discuss the results they obtained during the course of experimental research on extramucosa single-layer sutures. In the light of their personal histological documents, they emphasize the absolute biological inertia of this suture material, a property which, together with the capacity of not suffering the colliquative action of germs, means that multifilament stainless steel wires can be given full rights of domicile in colon surgery.

[Skin metastasis from renal carcinoma: epidemiologic and clinical features].

The Authors present an additional case of a 70-years old male patient with skin metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, 15 months after nephrectomy. The patient died ten months later for advanced neoplastic disease. Skin metastasis affect 3-6% of patients with renal cell carcinoma. The surgical treatment is mandatory for single nodule. Chemotherapy is often ineffectual. The prognosis is poor, with a 0-8% 5-years survival for patients with multiple nodules.

[A questionable surgical problem: the right treatment of occult thyroid carcinoma].

INTRODUCTION: The authors review their experience about treatment of occult thyroid carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 24 patients with papillary occult carcinoma of the thyroid were observed in the period 1999-2001. All carcinoma was 10 mm in diameter. In seventeen patients (71%) was performed a total thyroidectomy, while in seven (29%) a lobectomy; in four of seven patients treated with lobectomy was subsequently performed a total thyroidectomy. Total thyroidectomy wasn't performed in three female patients aged < 35 years, with a 5 mm diameter carcinoma. In two patients (8.3%) with nodal metastasis a lymph node excision was performed. All patients were alive and free of disease at last control. CONCLUSIONS: The incidental finding of occult thyroid carcinoma in a patient treated with a lobectomy does not entail a subsequent total thyroidectomy, because of this surgical procedure may be oncologically correct; therefore the authors believe that total thyroidectomy may be the treatment of choice of occult carcinoma, because it allows a correct oncological follow-up.

[Surgery of thyroid pathologies in one-day surgery].

The surgery of the thyroid pathologies in Day and/or One-Day-Surgery requires a thorough choice former of the surgery of the patients and the availability of the team specialist that could guarantee an adequate nursing after surgery. The authors describe the advantages and the limits of the short confined to stay in hospital for the surgery of the thyroid pathologies. The selection criteria for patients undergoing thyroidectomy in One-Day-Surgery have been: euthyroid patients with benign pathologies concentrate only thyroid lobe and lack of associated pathologies as cardiopathy, broncopathy, nephropathy, hepatopaty, diabetes, etc. Were executed in general anaesthesia forty lobectomies for uninodular thyroid disease and three enucleoresections for a nodule of pyramidal lobe, and only two cases the histological definitive diagnosis of carcinoma has caused a second hospital stay. In all forty-three cases was used a drainage, removed after 24 hours.
