[Clinical study of residual function and recurrences in patients after partial thyroidectomy for non-toxic nodular goiter].

The different surgical chances for the treatment of non toxic nodular goiter led the Authors to study the residual function after partial thyroidectomy. A variable rate of recurrences and hormone deficiency was shown in patients who underwent sub-total thyroidectomy, lobectomy and enucleation. It depended on the amount of residual gland and the different methods they used. Recurrences occurred more in patients studied by ultrasonography. After sub-total thyroidectomy the Authors noted a more reduced number of recurrences than after lobectomy and enucleation. There was a meaningless connection between high plasmatic levels of TSH and recurrences. Subclinical hypothyroidism was higher in patients who underwent subtotal thyroidectomy than in patients treated with lobectomy and enucleation. These clinical data show that recurrences could depend on growth factors (EGF, IGF) in thyroid tissues and not only on TSH action. Therefore the surgical attitude of the authors in the treatment of nodular goiter consists in total thyroidectomy.

[Intestinal occlusion caused by cecal carcinoid].

It is possible that carcinoids present themselves by a surgical emergency, without a < >. For these reasons, whenever a rational treatment is requested, an intraoperative diagnosis should be performed. In fact these neoplasms--owing to a less intense aggressiveness--present more indications to undergo surgery. In fact the authors report a case of caecum carcinoid characterized by the lack of typical symptoms of the homonymous syndrome. Urgent surgery was performed because of intestinal occlusion; the ileocaecal valve involvement caused the necessity of a large ileocolic resection with a L-L ileo-transverse anastomosis. The diagnosis of carcinoid was revealed only by the definitive histopathological examination.

[Comparison of hernioplasty using the technic of Bassini and Trabucco. Comparative analysis and results].

We evaluated comparatively trough a randomized perspective study the hernioplasty by Bassini technique and the Trabucco repair, respectively using general and local anaesthesia, in a group of 80 patients. We studied incidence of complications and recurrences, surgery, in-patient hospitalization time, postoperative pain, costs and work resuming. Trabucco repair had better results in each considered parameter: hospitalization time, pain and costs respectively 80%, 50% and 66% lower vs Bassini technique; moreover we found no recurrence and work resuming two weeks shorter.
