[Relationship between surgery, chemotherapy, irradiation and immunological state in patients of laryngeal cancer (author's transl)].

The relationship between surgery, chemotherapy, irradiation and the immunological state in patients of laryngeal cancer with or without metastasis was investigated. The lymphocyte reaction to PHA (Phytohaemagglutinin) stimulation and T-lymphocyte count was examined before and immediately after the therapy in 66 patients divided into three groups. From the results the authors conclude that surgical treatment (partial or total laryngectomy, with or without radical Neckdissection influence the immunological state of the patients at least, chemotherapy more and irradiation at most.

Fibrous dysplasia in paranasal cavities.

Presentation is made of 2 boys and a girl with fibrous dysplasia involving the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses and the maxilla. This tumor-like growth of the bone was not restricted to the sinus alone but expanded to the orbit, adjacent sinus, skull base and infratemporal or pterygoid fossa. In such cases, surgical therapy is the treatment of choice, with maximal preservation of healthy tissue and avoidance of major devastations that may result in undesired cosmetic defects. The etiology of the disease is still unknown. However, it should be emphasized that all 3 patients had suffered an injury to the adjacent bony structures at various time points preceding the disease manifestation. That is why we are inclined to believe that trauma might be a factor responsible for the onset of fibrous dysplasia.

[A bronchial polyp and foreign body in an adolescent].

A fifteen-year-old adolescent with recurrent pneumonia in the last two years is presented. The polyp in the lobar bronchus for the right inferior lobe and a foreign body in posterobasal segmental bronchus were found on bronchoscopy. The polyp (patHohistologically confirmed granulomatous tissue) and foreign body (thorny fruit of small caltrops, Tribulus terrestris) were extracted through a rigid ventilatory bronchoscope. The polyp presumably developed from the thorn of the fruit stuck in bronchial mucosa.

[Reconstruction of the cervical esophagus with free autotransplantation of the jejunum--direct monitoring of viability].

Although free jejunum transfer has become an accepted form of hypopharyngeal reconstruction, an ideal method of monitoring the viability of the graft has not been devised yet. The method of direct visualisation through the incision in the skin above the transferred jejunum has proven very reliable and easy to perform, especially for the nursing staff. This reliable method of monitoring free vascularised jejunum to the neck region has been used in two patients. After two days of direct monitoring, the incision in the skin healed without additional sutures. No failures of the graft occurred, and 12 days later the patients were able to swallow fluids without difficulty. The effectiveness of this technique has surpassed that of all previously published methods.
