[Management of lymph node metastases in larynx surgery with organ preservation].

The method of lymph node metastases management in sparing larynx surgery is presented. Described method consist in simultaneous, bilateral lymphadenectomy, as suggested by Bocca, and partial larynx resection. The effectiveness of the above treatment was evaluated in the group of 85 patients suffering glottic and supraglottic planoepithelial carcinoma. In this series, in 22 cases nodal metastases were histologically confirmed. In 6 patients bilateral nodal metastases were found. In any case the radiation therapy was introduced, because postradiation tissue reaction destroy functional principles of the operation. During several months of follow up in only 3 cases nodal recurrence was detected. The evaluation of treatment outcome proved that bilateral lymphadenectomy, as suggested by Bocca, is highly effective in management of lymph node metastases.

[2% solution of vagothyl in the treatment of persistent otorrhea].

Drying of the ear in the chronic purulent otitis media prevents further lesions of the anatomic structures and allows for performing the surgery significantly decreasing the risk of any potential complications. In the search for a safe medicines that can be used for drying of the ear in persistent otorrhoea the examinations on vagothyl have been conducted. The aim of this work was to assess the outcome of treating of persistent otorrhoeas with 2% solution of vagothyl. The results were compared to those achieved when 4% vagothyl's solution was applied. The effects of the treatment with both strengths of the vagothyl's solution were similar. In case of usage of 2% solution of vagothyl there were fewer side effects. The method of treatment was modified in order to eliminate the possibility of occurring of the iatrogenic lesions.

[Vagal nerve neurinoma: a case report].

A case of asymptomatic 44-year-old male patient with moderate arterial hypertension, misdiagnosed as aortic aneurysm, is reported. Additional diagnostics (transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, CT scan) revealed the presence of mediastinal tumor, diagnosed at operation as vagal neurinoma. Early and late results of therapy are described.

[Lung function after recovery from empyema treated by closed chest tube drainage].

In 32 patients 8 years after recovery from unilateral empyema treated by chest tube drainage the pulmonary function was studied. The most frequently occurring abnormalities were diminished dynamic lung compliance, diffusion capacity and perfusion evaluated by scintigraphy. Restrictive patterns were observed only in 2 patients. The greatest abnormalities were observed in patients with extensive empyema, in patients with delay in drainage and with residual radiological changes after recovery.

[Late results of treatment of bronchopulmonary carcinoids].

In the years 1980-1989 in the Thoracosurgery Department, Silesian Medical Academy in Katowice, 12 patients were treated in whom primary bronchopulmonary carcinoid was diagnosed. Surgical treatment was given to 11 patients. In three of them atypical carcinoid structure was found. From the group of 12 patients three died after 3-22 months. No information was available about one patient but it could be supposed that this patient also died.

[Influence of alcohol on morphological changes of the laryngeal and pharyngeal mucosa].

The long term intake of the ethyl alcohol by rats caused the morphologic changes of plano-epithelial and subepithelial layer of the larynx mucosa. The most expressed lesions were the disconnection of the epithelial structures and its taking into pieces. The changes were accentuated by longer alcohol intake, especially in morphology, size and color.
