[Initial experience in use of the Freka Trelumina catheter].

The authors present a report on their initial experience with the use of a Freka Trelumina probe. It is a nasal triluminal special probe for duodenal or jejunal nutrition and concurrent decompression of the stomach in case of its impaired motility and impossible oral nutrition. They draw attention in particular to the use in conservative treatment of acute pancreatitis and inform on favourable experience with the use of the probe under X-ray control.

[Digital subtraction dacrocystography].

The method of digital subtraction is based on the ability to eliminate interfering shadows from the X-ray picture, which makes it possible to make the parts of the picture containing contrast substance more visible. Digital subtraction dacryocystography makes better and more detailed imaging of the lacrimal pathways possible, in particular in the proximal part of the efferent lacrimal pathways, as compared with conventional dacryocystography. This is important for more detailed assessment of the necessary surgical intervention on the lacrimal pathways and its prognosis. The advantage is the possibility to deposit the image in the memory of the instrument as well as its digital processing and the smaller radiation load to which the lens is exposed. The authors examined by the method of digital subtraction dacryocystography 25 patients with disorders of the efferent lacrimal system and present some normal and pathological findings of the lacrimal pathways.

[Interesting development of 4 cases of urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract].

The authors submit a report on four patients with urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary pathways, as in each of them the development of the disease was interesting. They draw attention to the fact that it is important to consider other possible causes of complaints of these patients, although the urologist thinks in these dispensarised patients, due to the nature of their disease, above all of the development of another urothelial tumour or spread of the original tumour.

[Rhinogenous phlegmons of the orbit].

During the past 15 years we treated at the ENT department and ophthalmological department of the hospital with policlinic type III in Nitra 10 patients with orbital phlegmons or an abscess of the eyelid after an eye injury treated and cured by antibiotic treatment and external drainage. Twelve patients had a rhinogenic phlegmon or abscess in the orbit (one patient had a dentogenic aetiology of the inflammation). This group of 12 patients were treated in addition to antibiotics in different combinations also surgically (in one case also by drainage of the abscess from a lateral quadrant of the orbit). In five instances the authors found in addition to the phlegmon of the periorbital tissue also an abscess in the depth of the orbit and six times an abscess of the eyelid. Despite the radical approach to the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and inflammation of the orbit, two patients developed blindness of the damaged eye and one patient died from rhinogenic suppurative meningitis.

[Myringoplasty].

In the course of eight years the authors made several types of myringoplasties. In 97% a fascial graft was used with a premyringeal or retromyringeal approach. In small central perforations stepp plasty proved useful, in major defects a combination of stepp plasty and placement of the graft beneath the tympanomeatal lobe or beneath the skin of the auditory meatus resp. Anatomical healing was achieved in a total of 90%. Eight per cent of the patients were re-operated with satisfactory results. After simple myringoplasties the auditory gain was 15-20 dB in 90%, after reconstruction of the entire conduction system hearing improved markedly in 64%. Hearing did not deteriorate after operation in any of the patients.
