[Usefulness of the early study of intrathoracic digestive anastomoses].

The appearance of a dehiscence after an operation of oesophageal resection and reconstruction with stomach, jejunum or colon, constitutes a highly serious event frequently leading to the patient's death. Early recognition of dehiscence is therefore important for the purpose of starting adequate therapy as quickly as possible and preventing the rise and establishment of those lesions which condition an irreversible trend of the clinical condition. In this note the means today available for early diagnosis fo fistula, with particular reference to early radiological examination, are discussed. Early diagnosis and adequate prompt treatment may, in our opinion, lead to an improvement in the poor results reported by a number of surgical schools.

[Upward extension of esophago-gastric resection in carcinoma of the cardia: our current trend in the light of experience in 52 cases].

A first lot of patients (18 cases) operated for carcinoma of the cardias, with oesophageal resection performed at a distance of 4-5 cm. from the neoplasia, evidenced high mortality (7 cases) within the first twelve months. In a second lot of patients (17 cases), a study of the oesophageal section was made and showed invasion in 7 cases; this led to the level of the oesophageal resection being extended to a distance of 8-10 cm. from the tumour; in 17 cases thus operated (third lot) only one case of invaded oesophageal section was found. Systematic extension of the oeophageal resection, in cases of cancers of the cardias, to the level of the inferior pulmonary vein is therefore proposed in order to obtain a radical surgical result.
