[Injuries of the urinary bladder].

The authors analyse 32 patients with injuries of the urinary bladder treated in Clinical Hospital Centre "Firule" in the period from 1976 to 1988 (Figure No 1). There were: 10 contusions of the bladder (31%), 5 extraperitoneal ruptures (16%), 16 intraperitoneal ruptures (50%), and 1 combined extra and intraperitoneal rupture (3%). The isolated injuries of the bladder are rare. Extraperitoneal ruptures most of them are connected with the pelvic fractures. The intraperitoneal ruptures of the bladder were connected with splenic rupture in 7 cases, with the rupture of the rectum in 1 case, with the vaginal rupture in 1 case, with the rupture of the aorta in 1 case, with the rupture of the ovarian cyst in 1 case and with the rupture of the ileum in 1 case. All the patients with the urinary bladder rupture were operated, what got sufficient drainage of the urine, and drainage of the perivesical space and closure of the defect of the bladder.

[Retroperitoneal hematoma as a consequence of blunt abdominal injury].

In our examination we have used clinical material of 448 cases treated in our clinics for blunt abdominal trauma in period from 1976. to 1988. with special care on the group of 172 patients in who the retroperitoneal haematoma was founded. In the group of 172 patients we have examined the frequency on way to age, sex, and presence of the retroperitoneal haematoma in clinical picture of the blunt abdominal injury, and frequency of the retroperitoneal haematoma in abdominal injury connected with the injuries of the other organs.

[Traumatic arteriovenous fistula].

Three cases of arteriovenous fistulae and one iatrogenic observed in recent years at the University of Split's Surgical Clinic, and of different site and aetiology, are presented. Their clinical signs, diagnosis and vascular surgical access are discussed.

[Bilateral malignancy of the breast].

The breast cancer is the most common malignant disease in women, and makes 26 percent of all malignant diseases in women. Bilateral breast cancer is very rare, especially simultaneous one. We analyzed 420 operated breast cancers in Surgical Clinic in Split within five years period. There were 8 patients with simultaneous or metachronous bilateral breast cancer. Their incidence, difficulties in diagnostics and treatment, pathologic findings and prognosis are discussed. It is justifiable to follow the contralateral breast of patients with the breast cancer.

[Epidemiologic aspects of splenic injuries observed from 1958 to 1988 in our department].

The authors have reviewed the frequency of the patients with splenic injuries treated on the Surgical clinics of the Clinical Hospital Centre "Firule" Split in period from 1958 to 1988. The distribution of the splenic injuries in consideration to age, sex such as the lethality inside this group is shown.

[Fatal postsplenectomy sepsis (OPSI syndrome)].

The cases of postsplenectomy sepsis are described at the Clinical Hospital Centre Split. Overwhelming postsplenectomy infection is a unique clinical entity distinguishable from other infections. It may occur during the lifetime of any asplenic patient. The aggressive approach to splenic preservation is a way by reducing the risk of subsequent overwhelming postsplenectomy sepsis. In the case of necessary splenectomy, should be given long-term prophylactic antibiotics preoperative and polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine to it would be given shortly after operation. Autologous splenic implantation is generally recommended when total splenectomy is necessary.

[Permanent decrease in immune function in patients with splenectomy for trauma].

The authors describe the peripheral blood analyses in patients splenectomized for trauma in consideration on the concentration of the immunoglobulins total complement CH50 levels, T and B lymphocyte populations and compare this with the control group. The levels of the IgM were significantly decreased (p0.001) in splenectomised while the levels of the IgA and IgG were significantly increased (for IgA - p0.001, for IgG p0.01). Total lymphocyte count averaged 54501999 in splenectomized, with number of T cells 2463930 and B lymphocyte 460236. The control group showed total lymphocyte count 460236. The control group showed total lymphocyte count 520235 (p0.001) with number of T cells 314147 (p0.001) and number of B cells 7434 (p0.001), what is significantly less than in splenectomized population. The level of total complement CH50 in splenectomized population was 11216 (p0.01), what is significantly less than in the control group 12515. These data demonstrate persistent abnormalities in immune function and suggest a possible explantation for the increased rizu of sepsis in this group of patients.
