[Laparoscopic versus laparotomic adrenalectomy: preliminary experiences].

The authors report their experience about laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of adrenal tumours. Three laparoscopic right adrenalectomies were performed. From a comparison with five open adrenalectomies, microinvasive surgery is more advantageous than traditional management: recovery is earlier, incisions are smaller, post-operative discomfort is less, physiologic functions recover in a short time, return to full professional activity in one week.

[Surgical treatment of liver metastases of breast carcinoma. Our experience].

The authors report their experience in the surgical treatment of breast cancer liver metastases. Although with a restricted number of cases (4 patients), the short-term results are satisfactory; this is in agreement with the literature. The survival of those patients treated with a loco-regional approach to metastases (chemotherapy and surgery), is longer than one obtained using systemic chemotherapy. This is still an open question requiring further experience.

[Hemoperitoneum caused by lesions to the appendix epiploica. An unusual complication of colonoscopy].

A rare case of hemoperitoneum in a young man who performed a diagnostic colonoscopy is reported. The rupture of an epiploic appendix among rectum and colon sigma caused massive bleeding into the peritoneum cavity followed by haemorrhagic shock. Diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy has a low rate of morbility; perforation and bleeding are the most common events; hemoperitoneum following colonscopy is usually due to spleen rupture. Among other complications, ileal and cecal volvolus, incarceration of hernias and subcutaneous emphysema are reported.

[Vascularization of the gastric stump tubule in esophagogastroplasty (EGP)].

The authors present the results of the vascular supply of tubulized gastric stump in patients who had sub-total oesophagectomy and cervical oesophago-gastroplasty (OGP) for oesophageal carcinoma, evaluating the importance of altered tubulized gastric stump's vascular supply on oesophago-gastric anastomosis efficiency. From April 1989 up today 51 patients who had OGP entered this study. Among these 2 had intestinal reconstruction by whole stomach and 49 by tubulized gastric stump. These 49 patients had celiac and upper mesenteric arterial angiography 30 days after surgery. As regards vascular patency angiography allowed us to divide the tubulized gastric stump into three parts; giving useful information above all on the distal part of the stump, considered "at risk" as concerning vascular supply. The authors thus demonstrate that the anastomosis high rate dehiscence is preferably due to the oesophageal stump vascular supply (strongly affected by cervical dissection) rather than to the poor vascular supply of the distal third of the transposed tubulized gastric stump.

[Arterio-portal fistula. Report of a case and review of the literature].

Mesenteric arteriovenous fistulas or arterioportal fistulas (APF) are rare and mostly secondary to penetrating abdominal wounds. A rare case of APF presenting 2 years later a blunt abdominal trauma has been reported. On the basis of a review of the literature (65 cases) the etiology, clinical findings, diagnostical aspects and the results of conservative and surgical treatment have been analyzed.

[Medullary carcinoma of the breast. A review of the literature and a report of the authors' own cases].

Experience with 5 cases of medullary carcinoma of the breast is reported. Reviewing the literature, medullary carcinoma appears to have a better prognosis than infiltrating ductal carcinoma so the proper surgical approach is represented by conservative procedures for lesions < 3 cm with no more than 3 nodes involved. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy don't seem to improve the survival rate.

[Crossectomy combined with sclerosis in the ambulatory treatment of varicose veins].

This paper focuses on the advantages of an outpatient technique in the treatment of the 1st various syndrome based on crossectomy and complementary sclerotherapy to eliminate the proximal reflux. In addition to the speed, low costs and total absence of discomfort for the patient, this method results in a low percentage of easily correctable failures provided the patients to be treated are carefully chosen. Selection involves a preoperative screening phase based on anamnesis, semeiological tests, Doppler and evaluation of tibial venous pressure, as well as careful topographical mapping of proximal refluxes which allow a correct postoperative follow-up in the event of possible recidivation (14.3% based on the authors' experience). The surgical technique used entails an accurate crossectomy with full exposure of the SF crosse (??) and its affluent branches, and subsequent sclerotherapy with atoxysclerol in a variable quantity and % as required. Of a total of 91 cases treated with a 3-year follow-up, 5 cases of recidivation were observed during the first year and 8 during the third. In both cases postoperative pressure values in the tibial veins were considerably higher than in other patients and recidivation occurred through perforating sclerosed recanalised vessels.

Physostigmine and metoclopramide in oesophageal peristaltic spread in man.

Simultaneous recordings of electrical and mechanical activities at different levels of the oesophagus were performed in normal men before and after physostigmine and metoclopramide injections. Various parameters of the basal oesophageal peristalsis were significantly modified following drug treatment. In particular, physostigmine injections induced a shortening of electromechanical coupling time and a reduction of the propagation velocities of the electrical and mechanical oesophageal events. Metoclopramide shortened the electromechanical coupling time but increased the electrical and mechanical propagation velocities along the oesophagus.

[The interposed jejunal loop after resection for gastric ulcer (endoscopic study)].

Authors refer about an endoscopic study concerning twenty patients who have been previously operated for gastric ulcer. In these patients it was performed a reconstruction of the alimentary canal by means of a gastro-duodenal interposition of an isoperistaltic jejunal loop. Authors show that this method has been proved valid to prevent duodeno pancreatic reflux in the residual gastric sac.

[Proximal selective vagotomy in treatment of duodenal ulcer (author's transl)].

Thirty duodenal ulcer patients were subjected to proximal selective vagotomy (p.s.v.) and modified Dor antireflux plastic surgery. Accurate clinical, radiological, endoscopic, gastrosecretory, radioimmunological and PH-manometric tests were made before and 7 and 30 days after surgery. The results confirm the effectiveness of p.s.v. in treatment of ulcerous disease, and the usefulness of combining modified Dor plastic surgery in order to prevent postoperative feedback.
