[Clinical study of a new preparation in the treatment of anorectal varices].

Sterectal is a new antihemorrhoidal drug which contains prednacinolone, lidocaine hidrochloride and ephedrine hidrochloride. The results of the double blind, between patient, clinical study carried out in order to detect effectiveness of Sterectal compared with placebo show that the new drug owns a more rapid onset of therapeutic activity and exhibits a greater reduction in symptom severity than placebo. Both treatments were well tolerated.

Intestinal occlusion secondary to Morgagni-Larrey's herniation in an adult. Case report and analysis of the literature.

Morgagni-Larrey's hernias are congenital diaphragmatic hernias, rarely observed and generally identified accidentally due to the lack of symptoms. The authors report a case of intestinal occlusion secondary to Morgagni-Larrey herniation in an adult recently observed and underline the aetiopathogenic aspects, the diagnostic tools and the clinical pattern. They suggest to consider surgical repair as a choice of treatment, also for asymptomatic patients.

[Subrenal coarctation of the aorta. Presentation of a clinical case].

Coarctation of abdominal aorta constitutes a rare group of vascular abnormalities, including segmental stenoses and extended hypoplasia below the restriction. Usually hypertension is the only clinical evidence. The natural history of the surgically untreated disease foresees a decline of life expectancy; while surgical operation permit an almost complete "restitutio ad integrum". The Authors report a case of coarctation of the abdominal aorta come to their observation whose particularly was determined by the absence of high blood pressure, the aortic stenoses being located under the renal arteries.

[Deep venous thrombosis and surgery. Assessment of the main risk factors].

Deep venous thrombosis is a quite frequent pathology with a high degree of morbidity and death-rate. Two are the main problems of this disease: the risk of pulmonary embolism and outcome of a post-thrombotic syndrome, leading patients to infirmity. The patients max exposed to the risk of deep venous thrombosis are the surgical ones: the authors, with a retrospective study on 480 surgical patients, examine the risk factors mostly related with the onset of deep venous thrombosis. At the end they refer about connection between the risk factors studied and the clinical display of in surgical patients.

[Cutaneous mechanical staplers. Our experience].

This paper reports the results of a trial, comparing the use of disposable skin staplers with conventional nylon or silk sutures in skin closure. This study began in 1986; 7274 patients undergoing elective and emergency operations were controlled during the postoperative period, 3 and 6 months after surgery. It was shown that skin clips instead of sutures decrease the operative time, produce wound healing with a good cosmetic results, and above all a significant lowering of the wound infection rate.

[Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder. Our experience].

Adenomyomatosis is a rare affection of the gallbladder and it's infrequently reported in the Literature. Having observed eighteen cases of adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder in the last five years and considering the difficulties in making an early diagnosis of gallbladder cancer, the authors suggest the importance of cholecystectomy in this pathology.

Reversal of Hartmann's procedure. Our experience.

Hartmann's procedure has progressively changed its indications in the last years; nowadays they are reduced by the increasing of anesthesiology and the introduction of stapler devices. The introduction of staplers makes reconstructive operation easier and it contributes to a sensible increasing of reversal percentage after Hartmann's procedure. Video-assisted techniques make Hartmann's procedure possible for older patients with high-risk of post-operative general complications. The authors describe the results obtained with traditional and video-assisted reversal Hartmann's procedure, comparing with data from Literature.

[Laparoscopy in iatrogenic lesions of the colon during operative endoscopy].

Colonscopy is a standard diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that has its own morbidity. Colonic perforation is the dangerous complication of this procedure. Successful management of perforation by conservative or surgical treatment remains controversial. We report two cases, recently observed, of patients with colonic perforation occurring during therapeutic colonscopy treated with minimally invasive technique.
