[Late physiopathological aspects of the Billroth I gastric resection. Analysis of 109 cases].

Following an assessment of the long-term results of a homogenous series of 109 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer treated surgically according to the Billroth I technique, a personal opinion on this type of gastric resection is given. It may be considered positive, in the light of the data collected, both clinically and functionally. The need is also stressed for further, broader analysis for the purpose of a precise evaluation of the operation.

[Endoscopic retrograde catheterization of Vater's ampulla in the diagnosis of bilio-pancreatic diseases].

The technique, indications and contraindications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are discussed. Some of the most demonstrative cholangiographic and pancreatographic pictures are described and the reasons that have led to a marked reduction in complications immediately after the examination are analysed. Therapeutical aids for limiting any slight disturbances connected with the examination are also presented. Finally, some morphological data useful for differentiating between inflammatory and neoplastic lesions in the juxta- and intrapancreatic biliary excretory way and the pancreas itself are considered.

Ampulla of Vater

[The diagnosis of the cardiologic risk in patients destined for lung removal surgery].

The expanding role of pulmonary surgery could be expected to lead to an increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality unless surgical risk factors are identified by means of a careful preoperative assessment. A careful and intelligent preoperative evaluation can reduce the morbidity and mortality after lung resection by ensuring the appropriate selection of patients and a rational choice of operative procedure. To evaluate the cardiologic risk in patients undergoing lung resection, 18 of them underwent a diagnostic protocol based on non invasive analysis including ECG, stress test with basal and exercise blood gas analysis, M- and B-mode and Doppler echocardiography. This protocol was able to identify possible cardiologic risk in the perioperative period without applying invasive techniques and with a good cost-benefits ratio.
