[Transgastric lymphadenography].

The transgastric lymphadenography technique carried out by the endoscopic route in 52 patients at the Digestive Endoscopy Centre of the 3rd Surgical Clinic of Rome University is described. On the basis of personal results it is considered that transgastric lymphadenography represents an interesting technique for the study of perigastric lymphnodes in normal and pathologic conditions. It is thought that it could also be useful in the study of the abdominal lymphatics although further verification and a larger series are necessary.

ERCP and EPT: Italian experience.

The use of endoscopy has had a satisfactory development in Italy and today at least 70% of Italian hospitals have a fiberscope. Most of the examinations performed are in the diagnosis of diseases of the oesophagus, stomach or duodenum, whilst only a small percentage are represented by coloscopy which is usually carried out in specialized units. One of the examinations, that is most rarely performed, is ERCP, even if some hospitals have a duodenoscope suitable for catheterization of the papilla of Vater. Regardless of the fact that the usefulness of this method has been recognized and that positive results are being reported from various centers throughout the world, ERCP in Italy is performed by very few endoscopists and only in very highly specialized centres. In Rome, for example, ERCP is performed only in our Centre of Digestive Endoscopy which furthermore has the only important experience in Italy in endoscopic papillo-sphincterotomy (EPT); this type of operation has, in fact, so far been carried out only in a very limited number of patients, in a few other endoscopy units.

ERCP, endoscopic papillotomy and gallstone removal by JFB2 Olympus and PFSB 1200 Machida.

ERCP is now used as routine technique and has provided a useful tool for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in diseases of the biliary tract. Until now this examination has been performed throughout the world including Italy, using preferably an Olympus JF and JF B2 sideviewing duodenoscope. In addition to 727 ERCP and 55 papillotomies performed using this instrument we have also employed a convertible endoscope Machida PFSB 1200; this fiberscope, with which front and side views are possible, can be used in the study of the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, cannulation of the papilla of Vater and papillotomy. They results obtained and advantages offered by this instrument will be discussed. Since this endoscope is not usually employed, at least in Europe, for these purposes, we considered it of interest to report on the 251 ERCP and 9 papillotomies including stone removal performed in our department with the Machida PFSB 1200.

Therapeutic colonoscopy.

The authors report their experience with regard to operative fibrecolonoscopy both in routine and emergency cases. After taking into consideration the use of this technique for the study and treatment of rectal and colonic polyps, they also recommend the use in emergency conditions of colonic haemorrhage and in the removal of foreign bodies. They conlcude that therapeutic colonoscopy must be recognised as one of the most useful methods of diagnosis and treatment of some lesions of the rectum and colon.
