[Bilateral newborn testicular torsions].

A case of bilateral spermatic cord tension in a neonate is reported. Clinical findings are compared with those in 22 previously published cases. Obstetrical history is usually unremarkable. Torsion occurs prior to birth or immediately after birth. The two cords are involved simultaneously or successively. Edema of the scrotum is found in recent spermatic cord tension, whereas subsequently the tests are extremely hard and occasionally severely atrophied. Prognosis is poor since castration or poor testicular viability was the outcome in most cases.

Castration

[Mesenteric fibromatosis in infants. A case].

The authors report on a case of mesenteric fibromatosis in a 5 month-old infant. Surgical excision was available and the clinical course was good, without recurrence after 30 months. Clinical and histological features of mesenteric desmoïd tumor in children are discussed and diagnostic difficulties are examined in depth.

Fibroma

[Transpyloric gastrojejunostomy].

Gastric decompression and feeding by jejunostomy are usually performed in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. In the technique described here, the gastrostomy and jejunostomy tubes are introduced through the same orifice created in the gastric wall, and a double Witzel canal is performed around the two tubes, together with fixation of the gastric wall to the parietal peritoneum. This techniques was used in 9 consecutive patients with no mortality or morbidity directly ascribable to the procedure.

Digestive System Diseases

[Treatment of post-operative ventral hernia: elementary biomechanical basis. Report of 51 cases treated by mersilene mesh (author's transl)].

Elementary functional anatomy of the normal abdominal wall and following incisional hernia are described. The treatment of postoperative hernia should be based on this: its object is to restore the morphology and functions of the abdominal wall, in particular its respiratory function. It may be necessary to carry out gradual pneumo-peritoneum before parietal repair. A mersilene mesh was used by the authors in 51 cases. Certain rules should be observed when this prosthesis is placed in position so that the abdominal muscles find the conditions closest to their normal function.

Abdominal Muscles

[Surgical treatment of calcanear fractures (103 cases). Reconstruction-arthrodesis, or reconstruction (author's transl)].

In a twelve-year period, 103 calcanear fractures (thalamus) were operated on, either by the Stulz procedure (calcanear Reconstruction-subtalar Arthrodesis [83 cases]), or by Reconstruction (20 cases). During the first seven years, the Stulz procedure had been performed systematically. During the following five years, indications were shaded between 28 reconstruction-arthrodesis and 20 reconstructions. A complete preoperative radiological study, including especially horizontal calcanear tomography enables to precise what type of injuries affects the four different parts of the calcaneus, and to choose between either procedure.
