[Gastrointestinal carcinoids and carcinoid syndrome: classification, diagnosis and therapy].

Historically, carcinoids have long been known as a morphologically distinct class of rare intestinal tumors which behave less aggressively than the more common intestinal adenocarcinomas. In recent decades refined methods in pathology improved our knowledge on the diffuse neuroendocrine system, leading to some confusion in classification and nomenclature of carcinoids. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of endocrine tumors has cleared the definition of carcinoids. The Authors report on 7 cases of midgut carcinoid tumors and 1 case of carcinoid syndrome focusing on the newer approaches to the diagnosis, localization, and role of surgery and peptide therapy.

[Blind-ending branch of bifid ureter: apropos of a case].

The Authors report on a case of blind-ending ureter. A young woman (29 years old) underwent surgery because of recurrent urinary tract infections and left loin pain. The operation consisted in a radical resection of the blind branch together with Coen's operation for the coexistence of vesicoureteral reflux. Authors' goal was to review the international Literature on this rare pathology pointing out their opinion on the existing terminology which is still far from being clear and definite.

[Reconstructive microsurgery].

Since Microsurgery was born, it has been employed in different surgical fields offering more recently good chances even in sterility. Furthermore microsurgical techniques offer a great support to Plastic Surgery. In fact, it is possible to repair wide tissue damages of the skin, muscles or bones using free flaps. The percentage of success of this surgery increased the overall rate of success of surgical procedures. Therefore a close multidisciplinary relation between the different fields is absolutely required for a correct application of microsurgical techniques.

[Cholecystectomy and colorectal cancer: a retrospective study of a sample of 285 operated patients].

A review of 285 patients operated for colo-rectal cancer in order to evaluate cholecystectomy rate in their pathologic history is reported. A surprisingly high rate (9.47%) was registered also when compared with Literature data. Although not definitely conclusive for a positive correlation between cholecystectomy and colo-rectal cancer, the Authors believe that this study identifies a subgroup of patients potentially at risk for colo-rectal cancer. In these subjects a prophylactic, periodic colonoscopy could be useful.
