[New method of diminishing cyst cavities].

For diminishing the cyst cavity after cystectomia the following method is being suggested: The cyst sack is removed as usual after forming a trapezium-like muco-periostyle soft flat tissue by means of a vestibular bone opening. Foremost and furthest to the opening other openings are bored into the bone. Then "U" like stitches are being made through them and the edges of the muco-periostyle flat tissue, their loose ends being tied over a tampon. The tampon presses over the muco-periostyle tissue at the place of the bone defect thus diminishing it.

[Lymphosarcoma--nodular form, localized in cervical region].

The authors describe three patients with lymphosarcoma--nodular form for a 13-year period, involving the cervical lymph nodes. The rarity of the disease is emphasized as well as the difficulties in the differential diagnosis with the chronic sialadenitis and lymphopathies. The clinical interpretation of the disease is difficult because of the lack of specificity in the clinical course and paraclinical studies. The accurate diagnosis is only possible by a pathohistological study. The authors underine that the nodular form of lymphosarcoma should be given consideration in the differential diagnosis of the diseases of lymph apparatus in cervical region.

[Early surgical intervention in the complex treatment of odontogenic osteomyelitis of the lower jaw].

The incision of the soft tissues is an approbated method for the surgical treatment of the acute odontogenic osteomyelitis of the lower jaw and for the chronic--the sequestrectomy after the complete detachment of the sequestra. In the paper the authors share their experience in the surgical treatment of acute osteomyelitis and chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis as early as the phase of demarcation of the sequestra, with special attention paid to the extraoral drainage and local effect on the operated bone. In all other cases the operation wound in the oral cavity is sutured without drainage for healing by first intention. To some of the patients with developed acute osteomyelitis of the lower jaw, the authors applied the rarely practiced method of trephination of the bone, aiming at the reduction of the intraosseous pressure induced by the inflammatory process. Thirty nine patients have been treated according to the methods described and the results so far are a good evidence for their recommendation for the practice.
