[BCG osteoarthritis on knee prosthesis after intra-vesical BCG therapy].

A case of Calmette-Guérin bacillus (BCG) infection of a knee implant during intravesical BCG-therapy is reported. The course was favorable after replacement of the implant and administration of antituberculous agents. This case of septic osteoarthritis due to the BCG is different from cases of reactive polyarthritis reported after intravesical instillations of BCG. It probably resulted from diffusion of the BCG via the bloodstream.

Vascular exclusion in surgery of the liver: experimental basis, technic, and clinical results.

Because liver exeresis and surgery for liver trauma still carry a great mortality by hemorrhage or air embolism due to suprahepatic or vena cava injuries, temporary vascular exclusion of the liver is considered. Based on hemodynamic, biologic, and anatomopathologic experimental and clinical data, a catheter was designed that allows isolation of the retro-and suprahepatic portions of the inferior vena cava and consequently vascular exclusion of the liver for 30 minutes. We report on seven patients in whom this technic was utilized (4 requiring hepatectomy and 3 traumatized), confirming the utility, ease, and efficacy of this method.

[Hepatic surgery with vascular exclusion. Experimental bases. Technic and preliminary results].

Hepatic surgery has a high mortality due to hemorrhage or gas embolism due to tears of the hepatic veins or vena cava, hence the idea of temporary vascular exclusion. Based on clinical, hemodynamic, laboratory and pathological findings, we have designed a catheter which permits one to isolate the retro and suprahepatic segment of the vena cana and obtain hepatic vascular exclusion within 30 minutes. We report here six cases where this technic was used, 3 hepatectomies, 2 liver injuries, and one case of disobstruction of an iliac vein which confirm the use, ease and harmlessness of this method.

[Abdominal emergencies in the daily practice of a traumatology center].

This study analyses 57 cases of abdominal trauma occurring in patients with multiple injuries admitted to the accident unit in Garches, over a period of four years. After a few remarks concerning the use of a safety belt, the authors discuss in particular: -- 25 hepatic lesions; -- 20 splenic lesions. These lesions were operated on by the surgeons on the unit with the exception of 9 cases where a specialised surgeon was called in. In the vast majority of cases, we consider the patient should not be transferred to the other units but, if possible, all lesions should be treated simultaneously in one centre.
