The modern treatment of oesophageal strictures using the Eder-Puestow dilators.

The greatest safety in bouginage of narrow and twisted oesophageal strictures is obtained by employing a flexible oesophagoscope via which a guiding probe is introduced by Puestow's method. The actual bougie may then be introduced over this guide without risk of perforating the oesophagus. When performed under TV-fluoroscopy, this procedure gains added safety. 108 dilations were performed without complications.

Dilatation

Progress in preoperative diagnosis of pulmonary lesions.

Forty consecutive patients with radiologically demonstrated pulmonary lesions were selected according to the following criteria: 1) no cytologic or histopathologic diagnosis performed by conventional examination methods, and 2) no tumor tissue seen by endoscopy including the flexible bronchoscope. In these 40 patients the diagnostic value of speciments obtained by transthoracic fine-needle aspiration by blind bronchial brushing and by biopsy taken by means of the flexible bronchoscope was compared with these diagnostic methods a preoperative correct diagnosis was obtained in 29 (72.5%) cases. In 17 cases (42.5%) the fine-needle aspiration method was the only way to obtain a correct preoperative diagnosis and in four cases (10%) the diagnosis was obtained by the fiberscope.
