At the autopsy of an 80 years old women an about 60 cm long vermiform deverticulum of the colon was detected originating immediately distal from the left colic flexure and running retroperitoneally downnard versus the promontorium. On the basis of topography, histology and length this structure was interpreted as a congenital traction deverticulum.
Endoscopic laser-coagulation was used 94 times in 14 patients to stop gastro-intestinal bleeding or coagulate potential bleeding sources during non-bleeding intervals. Lasting haemostasis was achieved in three cases of incomplete gastric erosion, one of gastric ulcer, one of duodenal ulcer and one of bleeding after antral rugectomy. It failed to stop severe arterial bleeding in a case of gastric carcinoma. Lasting haemostasis was achieved in six haemangiomas of the colon, one case of angiomatosis of the antrum with 62 individual sites, two of angiodysplasia of the colon, 17 lesions in Osler's disease of the oesophagus (2 cases), stomach (10) and duodenum (5). The procedure was performed in the course of diagnostic endoscopy with an argonion laser developed by the authors, which has a density of 0.7-1.3 W/mm2. No complications have been observed so far.

40 duodenal stumps formed following gastric resections according to Billroth II were studied. The most recent stump was 6 hours old, the oldest 35 years. With some exceptions the torus on the stump---due to the suture---disappears within one year and is replaced by a wide strip of scar tissue. Chronic inflammations due to foreign bodies, some with acute exacerbation, were proved histologically to persist even decades after the resection. These inflammations are closely related with the suture material and other foreign matter. In patients submitted to the Billroth II operation, lipomatosis in the pancreas occurred more rarely, whereas fibrosis set in more often.
