Interposition vein cuff in infrainguinal prosthetic bypasses.

The Authors describe the interposition vein cuff technique as an adjuvant method to infrainguinal prosthetic bypass grafts. The haemodynamic, mechanical and humoral factors thought to be involved in the beneficial effects of the vein cuff are herein discussed. The results of the main series suggest the use of this method particularly in patients without any available autologous vein conduit requiring a below-knee popliteal or crural reconstruction.

[Cervical neurinomas. (Considerations in five cases operated in Day-Surgery)].

We report the experiment of five cases of neurinoma observed in the division of Day Surgery of the Third Surgery Clinic, operating in the Hematology Institute of University of Studies "La Sapienza" in Rome. The problems of the diagnosis of this neoplasia has been faced, though it is commonly unknown or confused with other cervical especially lymphonodules tumefactions, from which it is almost impossible to distinguish before the operation. In the period of six years on 775 cases of cervical neoformations have been operated only 5 patients bearers of neuromi; two originated from vago cervicale (right and left), one from simpatico cervicale on the left, another from the left spinal accessory and the last from the secondary medial trunk of the left brachial plexus. All the patients have been operated in Day-Surgery anaesthesia, locoregional and with calming of spontaneous breath. One case, that originated from the secondary medial trunk of the left brachial plexus, has been operated with microsurgical technique. On all the cases has been done a subcapsular exeresis to preserve nervous continuity. No post operating complications have been recorded; all the patients discharged in the evening. The diagnosis about the nature is left to the final histological test on the operating piece. The surgical removal remains even today the elective treatment able to exclude probable relapses and potential malignant transformation of these tumours.
