In the interval 1970-1988, in 321 of 670 patients with gastric neoplasm admitted to the 1st Surgical Clinic of Iaşi a subtotal gastrectomy was performed. Most patients were males (68.9%), more commonly aged between 50 and 70 years and in advanced evolutive stages. The gastric neoplasm were sited in order of frequency in the antrum (46.9%), body of the stomach (34.6%), eso-cardio-tuberosity (11.5%), linitis (4%), gastric stump and malignant ulcer (3%). Surgery was possible in only 59% of the cases (25% curative and 34.1% palliative). The surgical technique and its difficulties are detailed. In the 321 subtotal gastric resections 20 complications, 4 deaths (1.2%) and 20% survivals over 5 years were recorded. It is concluded that radioendoscopic and microscopic investigations, with their possibility of an early diagnosis, may cause a limitation of the indications of total gastric resection in the treatment of gastric neoplasm in favour a subtotal resection, more satisfactory from the functional viewpoint.
Of 70 operated mediastinal tumors, 15 were neurogenic tumors, one of them clepsydra-shaped, which manifested from the very beginning with spastic paraparesis of the legs. The treatment consisted in a two-steps surgery, the first at the Neurosurgical Clinical of Iaşi (laminectomy and ablation of the rachidian tumor) and the second one, one month later, at the I-st Surgical Clinic of Iaşi (excision of mediastinal tumor and parenchymal bridge within the conjugation hole). The microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of neurinoma (schwannoma) Antoni A and B with haemorrhagic areas. Examined at one year interval, the patient was clinically cured with normal thoracic aspect. The clinical peculiarities and therapeutical possibilities of the clepsydra-shaped neurogenic mediastinal tumors are detailed.
In the interval 1981-1989 at the Ist Clinic of Surgery of Iaşi 230 cases of chronic cholecystitis were admitted and operated upon (cholesterolosis--24 cases, dysmorphosis--84 cases, dysplasia--22 cases). Most cases had a morphologic--dysmetabolic substrate--strawberry gallbladder, alone or associated with other lesions (lithiasis, cirrhosis, pancreatitis), rare cases being also found (porcelain gallbladder--1 case, calcium bile--2 cases, gallbladder diverticulosis--3 cases, longitudinal complete obstruction of cystic duct by gallstone--2 cases). This condition is more frequent in women in the 3rd dad 4th decade, the symptoms being discrete, uncharacteristic, but persistent. The diagnosis is based on duodenal catheterization, cholecysto-cholangiography and ultrasonography, the intraoperative and histo-pathologic confirmations being required. The increasing frequency of chronic cholecystitis makes necessary a more minute diagnosis and exigent surgical indication, pledges for long-term favourable results.
The authors present 21 cases of aberrant pancreas with gastric and duodenal location (heterotopias under the shape of inclusions, nodules or true adenomas) included besides the rare cases of adenoma developed from Brunner and Lieberkühn glands in the "choristomas" category. Asymptomatic or with clinical phenomena and complications "borrowed" from the associated peptic ulcers (15 cases) the diagnosis of pancreatic heterotopias is usually an interoperatory or even histopathological surprise, the X-ray examination with the classical image "in cocard" and the endoscopy being rarely evocative. The surgical treatment is generally conservative and is dominated by the presence or lack of the concomitant peptic ulcer.

Six cases of isolated traumatic lesions of the abdominal wall muscles (2 ruptures of the right abdominal muscle and 4 of the anterolateral muscles) are reported. The presence of a "fixed" hematoma or even of a true subcutaneous eventration, the case history (for finding out the injury mechanism or unusual muscular effort), the X-ray examination of the abdomen and especially the ultrasonography can establish the diagnosis. The treatment of this lesion is usually conservative, surgery (performed in 3 cases) being indicated only in those ruptures with large parietal defects or hematomas or in case of diagnostic doubts.
The diagnosis of epiploic torsion was made intraoperatively. Apart from resection of the necrotized epiploon, appendicectomy was also performed as the appendix presented acute inflammatory lesions. This anatomoclinical and etiopathogenic characteristics of this rare affection are briefly described.
The authors present a case of leiomyosarcoma, a particular type of small intestine tumor. A review of the literature is also made.
Dysectatic disturbances in leukemia patients can be determined by leukemic infiltration of the prosthate or by the evolution of a co-existing peri-urethral adenoma. Indications and results of physiotherapy and surgery are evaluated in connection with an observation of peri-urethral adenoma in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.
