The Authors report their experience of major and minor complications in carotid surgery. They analyse the causes and emphasize that a thorough preoperative study and a quick surgical technique are very important in reducing the rate of complications in this essentially preventive form of surgery.
The paper describes 20 cases of early gastric cancer diagnosed by endoscopy and multiple biopsies, combined with x-ray tests using a double contrast medium, with the aim of reducing the number of false negatives. Surgery was modified according to the site and macroscopic characteristics of the neoplastic lesion (type 1, 2a, 2b: total gastrectomy + extended lymphadenectomy; type 2c and 3: gastric resection, except for different indications according to the site). In line with data reported by other Authors, the five-year survival rate was 90%.
Two cases of splenectomy are reported following the diagnosis of a rare pathology of the spleen in the form of two primary, non-parasitic and non traumatic spleen cysts. One was located on an epithelial wall and the other on an endothelial wall.

105 duodenal ulcer patients were examined over a two-year period. Apart from anamnesis, endoscopy and radiology, a personal treatment protocol was used to assess the indications for medical or surgical treatment. Endoscopy undeniably plays a central role in identifying the characteristics of the ulcer and its complications and will indicate medical treatment for the majority of duodenal ulcers though it also serves to confirm or modify the indication for surgery.
