The results achieved in the treatment of 160 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax in 1976-1986 are examined. Pleural aspiration drainage was practised in 141 cases and produced a permanent cure. 5 cases were surgically treated. Hospitalisation time was less than 16 days in 110 cases.

Four-hundred and thirty-six patients recognized affected by primitive lung neoplasia have been examined to prove possible correlation between the endoscopic aspects, histologic type and central or peripheral localization of the neoplasia. The diagnostic sensibility of the different cytohistological techniques used in fiberoptic bronchoscopy have been valued too. For the peripheral localizations the diagnosis has been obtained in most cases by using fine needle percutaneous aspiration.
The surgery of the last ileal ansa in case of non-neoplastic pathology bears some problems of technical nature, bound to the remarkable anatomic variabilities in the arterial blood supply to terminal ileum. The authors report the observation of three cases of non-neoplastic pathology of the last ileal ansa, treated with different technique in relation to the type of arterial blood supply remarked. In a case an ileum resection with termino-terminal anastomosis was performed, and in the other two cases a resection of the last ileal ansa, followed by an ileo-caecal reimplantation, was effected.
The authors, starding from their own clinical casuistry, critically review the literature, and suggest a new classification of appendicular mucocele based upon the anatomo-pathological aspects. They, moreover, analyse the clinical-therapeutical aspects, and hope the histologic testing of appendix becomes a routine practise.
The authors, starting from the recent observation of a case of gall-bladder hypoplasia, point out the extreme rareness of the disease, the aspecificity of the symptomatology and the frequent impossibility to reach a preoperative diagnosis.
The authors report a case, they had the opportunity to observe, of pyloric stenosis, secondary to the migration of two big gall-stones into stomach through a cholecysto-gastric fistula. As the event is extremely rare, they discuss some clinical, diagnostical and therapeutical aspects of same.
The Authors, considering 141 cases of patient women under 40, suffering from breast cancer, analyse the prognostic factors in relation to the different therapeutical approach, histologic type, dimensions of T, and presence or absence of metastases at the axillary lymph nodes. They, moreover, appraise the actuarial global survival with no disease (NED) of this group of patients as compared with the survival of women in more advanced age.

The results of a multidiscipline trial conducted on 70 patients with cholecyst or bile duct diseases, including 20 complicated by icterus, are presented. the diagnostic significance of cholecystography and cholangiography supplemented by echotomography and HIDA cholescintigraphy was assessed. A personally employed protocol for the diagnosis of patients with cholecyst and bile duct disorders, covering both simple lithiasis and cases complicated by icterus, is proposed.

A case of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is reported, particular attention being paid to preoperative diagnostic problems. The importance of cytological examination carried out with fine needle acupuncture is also stressed. The anatomopathological and clinical features are outlined, special mention being made of the neoplasia's frequent hormonal secretion and its possible familial nature.
A brief overview of the aetiopathogenetic aspects of non-parasitic cyst of the liver is followed by the presentation of two personal cases. Their diagnostic, anatomopathological and therapeutic features are examined, and reference is made to the treatment employed, namely partial cystectomy and derivation on an excluded loop à la Roux. It is suggested that the type of surgery employed will depend in each case on the relation of the cyst to the liver parenchyma (superficial or deep sites) and neighbouring organs. Benign forms should be treated in a not excessively destructive manner.
95 splenectomies carried out at the General Surgery Division of the Busto Arsizio Circolo Hospital between 1967 and 1977 are reported. After some brief historical notes, stress is laid on those forms of primary or secondary splenopathy which are receptive to surgical intervention. Splenectomies with surgical indication (traumatic ruptures during other operations for various conditions) are distinguished from those with medical indication: Cooley, Werlhoff, Hodgkin, hair cell leukaemia, Banti. The clinical, haematological and physiopathological aspects responsible for splenic change are considered for each individual disease on the basis of personal experience.
