Eighteen patients operated on for intestinal angiodysplasia are reported. Visceral angiography was the diagnostic procedure of choice, providing evidence in most cases of lesions in the right colon. Right hemicolectomy was the surgical treatment normally provided. Mortality in our series was nil. This report looks at the main clinical features of these lesions, paying particular attention to their etiopathogenesis.
Forty-six patients submitted to operative choledochoscopy during biliary surgery are presented. Forty-two had benign diseases, principally calculi (38 cases), with only four patients presenting with malignant neoplasms. Our results bear out the effectiveness of operative choledochoscopy as a complement to cholangiography and conventional exploration of the bile duct, in significantly reducing the number of retained stones found, and in aiding other surgical procedures in the biliary tract.
