[Clinical considerations on the surgical treatment of perforated gastroduodenal ulcer: experience in 479 cases].

In this work, the authors support the therapeutic validity of gastric-duodenal resection in urgency surgery. This study has been made on 479 cases observed during the last 21 years (1957-78). In 58 of them we have made a sinking of ulcer, in 421 patients we have made, immediatly, a gastric-duodenal resection with B II technique. On the base of the good obtained results, the authors conclude that the contro-indications to this operation (age, general conditions of patient, old pierce, etc.) that were accepted by the most surgeons up to few years ago, must considered of secondary importance.

[Penetrating heart wounds: four cases (author's transl)].

The authors describe four cases of penetrating heart wounds: two from slash and puncture injuries and two from gunshot. Hearth lesions involved the left ventricle and pericardium in two cases, the right ventricle in one case, and only the diaphragmatic pericardium in one case. After a review of the literature, the authors discuss clinical and diagnostic problems relative to penetrating chest wounds and particularly those of the heart, stressing the need for very prompt diagnosis; as for actual treatment, they conclude that this can be carried out without any special problems in any Department of general emergency surgery.

[Complications of primitive tumors of the small gut: personal observations in nine cases (author's transl)].

The authors describe 9 cases of primitive tumors of the small gut (3 adenocarcinomas, 2 lymphosarcomas, 1 fibroma, 1 angioma, and 2 leiomyosarcomas, one being the cause of active hemorrhage). In all cases the tumors were diagnosed only at operation, which was invariably necessitated by complications. Seven patients underwent emergency surgery for intestinal obstruction; one underwent an exploratory laparotomy for recurrent intestinal bleeding caused by an angioma of the ileum; and the last of this series (exceptional enough to warrant separate reporting elsewhere) was operated upon as an emergency case when the tumor, precisely a leiomyosarcoma, was perforated and actively bleeding.

Mesenteric artery embolectomy: a case report.

A case of successful superior mesenteric artery embolectomy with bowel resection is reported. Superior mesenteric artery embolization must be strongly suspected in a patient with atrial fibrillation, presenting sudden abdominal pain and an unremarkable examination. Extensive use of abdominal angiography is strongly recommended, since successful results depend on early diagnosis. This "second look" procedure may be limited, on the basis of careful clinical observation. Should any doubt persist regarding bowel viability, a duodenoenteric anastomosis is recommended.
