[Use of two teflon stents in malignant non-hilar biliary atresia].

Insertion of biliary stents in cases of malignant biliary obstruction is a widely accepted method to resolve jaundice. The authors applied two 10 French biliary teflon stents to prolong the drain patency in 32 patients with distal malignant obstruction, thought to be inoperable at the time of intervention. Among the followed, inoperable 23 cases 14 patients died for the time of evaluation. The median survival was 150 days, the median drain patency was 99 days. Cholangitis was the cause of death in three patients. Repeated endoscopic interventions were: transient nasobiliary drainage without drain replacement in two patients and four changes of stents in three patients. In the 13 patients, surviving and wearing their drains at least for 100 days the patency of the double drains was 157 days. These results obtained in the long-time survivors support the comparability of the patency of double teflon stent to that of metalstents. In majority of cases the two teflon drains remained patent until the deaths of patients.

[Experience with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in the nutrition of a patient with 3rd and 4th degree facial burns].

Recovery after thermal injury depends in great proportion on nutrition. A major problem is accounted in patients with facial burn, because they can not be nourished per vias naturales. Eliminating disadvantages of parenteral nutrition, but utilizing the advantages of enteral nutrition, we have tried a new method of treatment in a patient whose case is presented. On the second day after injury a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was made. On the 7th day after injury and on the 4th day from the beginning of enteral nutrition complete intake of food and liquid was assured through the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostoma. We had no complication related to the gastrostoma. Nutrition through the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostoma at our patient provided a "natural" route to assure liquid, electrolite and energy balance, prevented atrophy of intestinal mucosa and its metabolic and immunologic complications. With the use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostoma the possible complications of central line catheter were omitted. Our opinion is that percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a safe and effective method for the clinical nutrition of burned patients.
