[Morpho-functional characteristics of invagination esophago-enteric and esophago-gastric anastomoses].

The morphological and functional features of invagination ++esophago-enteric and esophagogastric anastomoses were studied in 234 of 266 patients who underwent gastrectomy or proximal resection of the stomach for cancer in 1972-1989. Two valuable stable properties were found to be characteristic in normally functioning invagination anastomosis: reliable anti-reflux properties and evacuation in portions. They are ensured by the obturating apparatus of the anastomosis, which consists of a valve and a muscular sphincter. No functional disorders on the part of the anastomosis were encountered in all periods after the operation in 174 (74.4%) patients. Complications developed in 60 (25.6%) patients (acute anastomositis, spasm of the anastomosis, reflux esophagitis, cicatricial stricture, and the dumping syndrome); they were attended by disorders of the function of the anastomosis due to temporary or constant disorders of the function of the obturating apparatus.

[Ultrasonic diagnosis of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and its state after reconstructive surgery].

The article generalizes the results of examination of 44 patients for diagnosing aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and its complications with the use of the ultrasonic method. Aneurysms were detected in 27 patients, dissecting aneurysm was found in 7 of them and rupture of the aneurysm in one patient. Operation was carried out on 16 patients, all of them were kept under dynamic observation beginning from the 3rd-5th postoperative day. Various postoperative complications were noted in 4 patient in different periods.

[Ultrasound study in the diagnosis of thyroid gland pathology].

An ultrasound study of the thyroid was performed in 55 patients who were admitted to be treated surgically for the goiter. The Sonoline-3000 unit working in the real time mode was used. The results were compared with the morphological findings of the resected gland. Features which were most characteristic of different types of the pathology were revealed. This method made it possible to differentiate with assurance between a cyst and a hard node, to reveal the diffuse-nodular forms of lesion. Some difficulties arose in the diagnosis of the nodes that had no limiting rim and differed little in the structure from the unchanged gland as well as in the differential diagnosis of a benign hard node and cancer, this being associated with the absence of the pathognomonic features of malignant lesion.
