[Intrathoracic goiters].

Reference is made to the nosographical classification of intrathoracic goitre and the difficulties associated with its diagnosis. Particular attention is devoted to the correct surgical technique required. Surgery is mandatory in mediastinal cases on account of the slow and gradual progression of the swelling and exacerbation of the symptoms, and also because complications may supervene (cancer, intraparenchymal haemorrhage, etc.). The approach routes are discussed, along with the conditions requiring resort to a complementary route--usually median sternotomy--in addition to cervicotomy.

[Gastric diverticula].

The Authors, on the basis of two recently observed cases of gastric diverticula, emphasize its relative rarity and set out the various aetiopathogenetic theories of the disease. In this connection they point out that, apart from congenital alterations, particular importance may attach to gastric dyskinetic factors. The Authors conclude by discussing the diagnostic difficulties posed by gastric diverticula and setting out the modern possibilities of study and therapy of the disease.

[Diverticula of the duodenum. Clinico-diagnostic and therapeutic considerations].

On the basis of a study of the most recent clinico-statistical contributions on diverticula of the duodenum and personal experience, based on observation of 72 cases, the Authors set out a modern review of the subject. After emphasizing that diverticula of the duodenum are responsible for clinically evident and uncharacteristics sympatoms in only about 10-20% of cases, the Authors discuss the most modern procedures for diagnosis of diverticula of the duodenum. Lastly there is a full discussion of the indications for operation and the different surgical possibilities for treatment of the disease.
