Is splenic lobe/segment dearterialization feasible for inferior pole trauma during left hemicolectomy?

We discuss splenic salvage by lobe/segment dearterialization, without resection, after intraoperative trauma, and present two cases. We performed a retrospective analysis of 163 patients in whom the colon splenic flexure was mobilized. Patients with ileo-rectal anastomosis or urgent cases were excluded. Surgical operations included left hemicolectomy and anterior resection of the rectum. Splenic procedures were splenorrhaphy, dearterialization and splenectomy. Spleen lesions occurred in 4 (2.45%) cases. One capsular tear was managed with splenorrhaphy. Three mechanical lesions to capsula and tissue of the inferior pole were managed by either splenectomy (the first case) or dearterialization. Overall mortality in the series was 4.3%. Among the patients with splenic procedures, the splenectomized patient died due to pulmonary embolism. The two cases treated by inferior splenic branch and inferior polar artery ligature are presented. In operative trauma to the inferior splenic pole, bleeding can be controlled by lobe/segment dearterialization and by methods of local hemostasis in most cases.

[Bronchoplastic surgery in bronchial cancer].

Conservative resection is applied in cases with central localisation of the tumour in the surrounding lymph nodes are not affected by the malignant process. This surgery is of great importance for patients with restricted respiratory function if pneumonectomy is contraindicated or is performed under enhanced risk. A total of 29 surgeries were performed on the bronchial system. Blood vessel resection was simultaneously done in two of the cases. Frozen section biopsy was obligatorily performed. In one case atelectasis was an early complication that was resolved by bronchoaspiration. In a thirty-day long postoperative period one (3.4%) of the patients died because of profound intrathoracic bleeding.

[Sarcoidosis in children in East Germany compared to its frequency in the Yugoslavian Socialist Republic].

Sarcoidosis in children is very rare. Especially asymptomatic cases are scarcely known. Sometimes extrapulmonary cases are found. These need a therapy with cortisone derivates. The danger of a false diagnosis is very high if it is based only on a X-ray film. A histological examination seems important. The cooperation between pediatrician and pneumologist is considered as important especially when the grown up patients pass on from pediatric care to the supervision of the pneumologist.

Sarcoidosis in Europe: a cooperative study.

The data on the epidemiologic situation of sarcoidosis from 24 countries of Europe have been reviewed. The new facts seem to demonstrate that the differences between the frequency of this disease in the north and south are not real. The actual situation is dependent on the general knowledge of this disease and on the extent and intensity of the active detection of its asymptomatic stage. A new prospective cooperative study of the yearly incidence of all forms of sarcoidosis in the total population of at least some European countries would be desirable.

Demonstration of an antigenic component in Kveim antigen.

Anti-Kveim-antigen serum was obtained by immunizing rabbits with Kveim antigen from lymph nodes and spleen in complete Freund's adjuvant. In the Ouchterlony test and in counter-immuno electrophoresis, a precipitation band with Kveim antigen from spleen and lymph nodes was demonstrated after absorption of the antiserum with serum and extracts of normal lymph nodes and spleen.
