[Economical surgery, bronchial or pulmonary, in the treatment of lung cancer].

In the present uncertainty as to the relative importance of maximum radical resection, surgical treatment of bronchial carcinoma should be guided by the state of cardio-pulmonary function and quality of survival. In borderline cases, therefore, consideration should be given to economic resection, either parenchymal or bronchial. Surgery was performed for bronchial carcinoma in 369 cases between 1963 and 1974, involving 30 segmental resections and 26 bronchial sleeve resections. Favourable results are reported for the curative operations, whereas the results of palliative resections show low mortality but unfavourable longterm survival.

[Surgical treatment of funnel chest. Surgical experience with 90 cases].

Funnel chest, a congenital hereditary deformity, may lead to impairment of cardio-pulmonary function. The predominant motives for operation are psychological and cosmetic. Minor deformities amenable to physiotherapy should not be operated on, but moderately severe one represent a justified surgical indication. Objective photographic documentation is essential. Because of their bearing on surgical technic and results the symmetrical, asymmetrical, localized and extensive deformities should be distinguished. 90 operations have been performed between 1951 and 1974 according to the different known technics published during that period. Results were irregular until the introduction, eight years ago, of an operation combining extensive resection, by the method of RAVITCH, and stabilization by a metal strut as recommended by ADKINS et al. 24 operations performed during the last eight years have afforded perfect long term results.
