[Remarks on surgical anatomy of the breast in relation to tumor pathology (author's transl)].
The authors carried out an autopsy-based study aimed at better definition of the placement and flow direction of lymphatic vessels and lymph node stations of the breasts. These anatomosurgical data should prove valuable in relation to tumoral pathology of the breast.
[Malignant breast pathology: an assessment of the risk factors].
The Authors value risk factors as well as they are supplied by the epidemiologic studies about breast cancer; they value the importance of its prevention and try a connection with the cyclic endocrine balance in the correlation hypothalamus, hypophysis, and ovary.
[Indications for surgical and sclerosant treatment of essential varices of lower limbs (author's transl)].
The Authors consider the surgical and sclerosant therapy as treatment of essential varices of lower limbs. On the ground of their experience, they codify the indication to these two treatments that must be considered complementary. The results are always good when indications are right.
[Primary tumors of the spleen].
Four cases of so-called primary tumour of the spleen are discussed, stress being laid on their rarity and clinical course. The importance of splenectomy for precise histological diagnosis and assessment of the stage of the disease, factors which are indispensable for the oncologist when planning therapy, is also emphasized.
[Vascularization of the jejunal loop].
Vascularization of the first 60 cm of the jejunum is considered on the basis of a necroptic study of 100 cases. Attention is called to the possibility that surgical failure in ansa transposition techniques may be due to anatomical variations in the first jejunal branches of the superior mesenteric.

[Criteria for choice of cryosurgical hemorrhoidectomy].
In the light of their own experience the authors assess the cryosurgical method in the treatment of hemorrhoids; they point out that this method is especially suitable for patients that cannot be treated by conventional hemorrhoidectomy because of associated pathology. With cryosurgery the authors have obtained radical surgical cures without any major complication and with a definitely lower incidence of discomfort than with the conventional surgical technic.
[Contact thermography in the early diagnosis of tumors of the breast].
After a brief review of thermal physics and physiology, the authors explain the applications of cholesterol ester plates in the study of breast malignancy. Accumulated experience plus the fruits of statistical studies conducted in leading centers, make it advantageous to use contact thermography not only for the early diagnosis of breast malignancy but also for mass screening of the general population. In competent hands, this technic yields accurate and dependable diagnosis; the method is completely harmless to patient and physician and can be used as many times as needed; and in addition, the method is economical both in terms of time consumed and of actual cost of materials. The new method does not supersede roentgenological investigation indiscriminately but confines it to cases that remain doubtful or suspicious after clinical and thermographic examination.

[Cryosurgery for hemorrhoids].
The new cryosurgical method of treating haemorrhoids is examined. Stress is laid on the importance of proper operation technique and correct evaluation of candidates. Infection, fistulae, abscesses, and stenosis are absolute contraindications.
[Anastomoses of the lower 3d of the esophagus].
In view of the larger number of operations on the bottom third of the oesophagus recently necessary in the destructive surgical therapy for tumours, the Authors re-examine 50 cases of oesophago-gastric and oesophago-jejunal anastomoses and stress the importance of accurate anastomoses, preferably single-layer in order to avoid early and delayed complications.
[Pilonidal cysts and fistulas: ambulatory treatment with closure].

[Splenectomy: indications and results].
The authors review their splenectomy records for the last ten years and discuss complications and mortality in relation to the indications for such surgery in each case. They conclude that both immediate and delayed postoperative mortality reflects mainly the underlying disease rather than surgical trauma; in their clinical material, complications were never severe and at any rate readily brought under control.
[Physiopathology of the gastrectomized patient].
The Authors re-examined 50 cases of various ages and both sexes subjected to total gastrectomy for neoplasia, without any other chemotherapic or radiant collateral treatmente, and analyse the sequelae following total removal of the stomach. On the basis of the data collected, they conclude on the importance of an adequate reconstructive technique, in particular stressing the utility of preservation of the duodenal transit and the need for suitable dietetic-pharmacological conduct in the years following the operation.
