[Carcinoma of the gallbladder. Our experience].

A series of 11 patients (3 males and 8 females, mean age 63.4 yrs.) suffering from gallbladder cancer has been reviewed. Authors' purpose in reviewing their experience was to identify factors either in patient characteristics or treatment, that may influence statistic data. Symptoms, signs, laboratory and imaging studies were uniformly unhelpful in determining the diagnosis. Early diagnosis at a stage amenable to surgical excision remains the only therapeutical possibility.

[Subscapular elastofibroma (elastofibroma dorsi)].

The Authors describe a case of elastofibroma in its typical location; the most interesting aspect of this lesion is the microscopic appearance. The benignity of this lesion is absolute, from the clinical and microscopic points of view.

[Intensive therapy in general surgery].

A good diagnostic protocol as well as a proper preparation to surgery and a careful intensive observation (associated if necessary with an intensive therapy) can lead to a better prognosis in major surgical procedures or routine surgery in poor risk patients. Candidates to ICU are divided in three classes: type A is a stable patient requiring constant monitoring for high probability of complications, type B is still a stable patient who needs an intensive nursing; finally type C is an instable patient who requires a true intensive care. In the surgical department of USL 20/B Figline Valdarno (FI) a postoperative Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has been established in the last three years: a three-bed section with its own staff is located in the surgical department itself. In 37 months 467 operated patients requiring intensive observation or intensive therapy have been admitted.
