Clinical experiences with surgical techniques and treatment results in patients undergoing subtotal laryngectomies.

After a period of critical evaluation, subtotal laryngectomies are now considered to be valuable additions to the surgical management of laryngeal neoplasms. It is now possible to obtain good functional and oncological results in treating clinical situations that until a few years ago appeared curable only by radical surgery. We now report our clinical experiences with Labayle and Majer-Piquet types of subtotal laryngectomies and discuss indications and contra-indications to such surgery. Our current preference is to use Labayle technique, since it permits better functional recovery and a shorter clinical course.

[Clinico-therapeutic observations on a series of cases of odontogenic abscesses and phlegmons].

The authors review 561 patients suffering from odontogenic abscesses and phlegmons which were large enough to merit hospitalisation in the Division of Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the Odontostomatological Clinic at the University of Turin during the period from 1972 to 1990. The main features of these septic processes are evaluated: site, size, mode of growth and evolution, tooth responsible. Special attention is paid to the treatment performed: this was essentially based on antibiotic therapy and/or drainage of the abscess via a transcutaneous, transmucous or transdental route. The need to combine medical therapy with surgical drainage of purulent material was noted in the treatment of large infections; in many cases medical therapy alone was unable to guarantee the resolution of the pathology; on the other hand, surgical drainage alone in some cases led to the patient's recovery.

[Cystic lesions of the mucosa of the maxillary sinus. Clinical considerations and differential diagnosis].

The various pathogenic, radiological and clinical aspects of cystic lesions of the maxillary sinus mucosa (pseudocysts, retention cysts, mucocells) are examined together with related problems of differential diagnosis. Such lesions are sometimes found accidentally in the course of routine X-rays or on the basis of clinical indications not directly attributable to the presence of a cyst. Often they are completely asymptomatic so that they are less often recognised than their true incidence and are sometimes confused with maxillary sinus lesions of a totally different origin. In the personal experience described sinusoscopy proved a valuable adjunct to clinical and radiological investigations for the purposes of differential diagnosis and may in some cases form the first stage of treatment. The value of sinusoscopy is also enhanced by the possibility it offers for targeted biopsies at the same time.
