[Surgery of differentiated cancer of the thyroid].

A retrospective study on patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma operated on at the 3rd Department of General Surgery of the University "La Sapienza" of Rome from 1970 to 1996 was performed. In 709 patients total thyroidectomy was performed as the minimal procedure acceptable, while 19 patients had subtotal thyroidectomy out of necessity. A functional ipsilateral or bilateral lymphnectomy of the neck was performed in 256 cases. This wider operation is indicated in the presence of metastatic lymph nodes and on principle in patients older than forty-five years in which at least another risk factor is present. Long term follow-up (12 years) was assured in 302 patients and the survival rate was 92% independently from the histotype (papillary or follicular). The survival rate of a group of 120 patients (80 with papillary and 40 with follicular carcinoma) was analyzed in relation to the risk factors. This group analysis demonstrated a very low mortality rate in patients with low risk index and an increased rate in patients with a high risk index.

[Extension of total thyroidectomy to the cellulo-lympho-thymic tissue of the anterior superior mediastinum].

Stress is laid on the importance of the cellulo-lympho-thymic tissue of the anterior-superior mediastinum in demolition surgery for thyroid cancer. For this reason, a straightforward, reliable technique for removing the thyrothymic lamina by the cervical route has been prepared. Experimented on cadavers, this method has been used for superior mediastinic lymphnode exeresis in all cases where it was indicated.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic role of so-called laparosplenectomy in Hodgkin's disease].

Results obtained with laparosplenectomy in the diagnosis and treatment of Hodgkin's disease are reported. The soundness of this method is asserted with regard to establishment of the anatomopathological stage, the improved tolerance of subsequent antiblastic management and the virtual absence of post-operative complications. The long-term progression of the disease, however, cannot be examined, since reliable data are not available. It will the tasks of the haematologists to follow these patients and record the clinical events observed.

[Post-splenectomy hyperthermia].

After an examination of the most important physiopathological alterations of splenectomised patients and on the basis of careful research into the literature on study and classification of post-splenectomy hyperthermia, the Authors stress the importance of infections in the genesis of such hyperthermia, until a few years ago defined as "sine causa". On the basis of the consideration that this fever is due to an infection acting on an area (the a-splenic area) which is more vulnerable as it is deprived of a certain part of the reticulo-endothelial system, it was possible to postulate and verify that such hyperthermia could arise only in patients with altered extra-splenic reticulo-endothelial system and hence does not normally occur in patients splenectomised for trauma. On the basis of extensive personal experience, the authors conclude by stressing the therapeutic principles which seem to be most suitable for management of this insidious complication of splenectomy.
