[The surgical treatment of strangulated inguinal-crural hernias in geriatric patients].

The authors describe their own experience relative to 79 patients, aged 70 years or older, who underwent, during three years, emergency surgical intervention for inguinal or crural strangulated hernia. They report a postoperative mortality rate of 8.8% and a postoperative morbidity rate of 40%. They stress the need for timely diagnosis and a meticulous surgical treatment. Therefore, they underline the great importance of the anesthesiologic approach and perioperative intensive care.

[Autotransfusion: its use in a case of spontaneous splenic rupture in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].

The article refers to autotransfusion experience in a patient affected by lymphoma (not Hodgkin type), who reached surgery for haemoperitoneum caused by the spontaneous rupture of the spleen. Considering the pathology, this method brought unpredictable variations in the hemochrome thus leading to a deep reflection on the limitations of the use of autotransfusion.

[Anti H2 receptors and perforated peptic ulcer. Review of 442 cases].

H2 blockers have accelerated the reduction in elective peptic ulcer surgery but appear to have had no equivalent effect on the incidence of perforated ulcer success. A 13 year (1975-1987) review of perforated peptic ulcer is presented. The mean annual number of operations for perforation fell from 8.21% to 4.93% after 1980, while the number of operations for perforated gastric ulcer in this period was almost unchanged. A significant reduction was found in mean annual rates for perforated duodenal ulcer from 6.86% to 3.82% after 1980, while the number of operations for perforated gastric ulcer in this period was almost unchanged.
