[Septic complications in subclavian vein catheterization].

Authors have studied the incidence of septic complications due to subclavian vein catheterization, According to literature, have considered that this is generally connected to the operating ability. Septic contamination, though of high incidence, only exceptionally is reason of a septic clinical condition.

[Problems of general surgery in the cardiosurgical patient].

The preoperative problem is analysed with proposal of a heart risk index table and assessment of the manifold problems involved. Stress is thenn laid on the importance of careful postoperative treatment, establishing rules of surgical and resuscitatory behaviour to be followed in the general surgery of the heart patient. These rules of behaviour permit prevention of surgical complications, which are fully illustrated. Particular attention is paid to the selection of those conditions of pertinence to general surgery which have treatment of choice prior to heart surgery. Personal experience of 75 general surgery operations between 1977 and 1979 in the Villa Pia Clinic is then reviewed.

Laparoscopic Heller cardiomyotomy with intraoperative manometry in the management of oesophageal achalasia.

Results of an ongoing clinical study treating achalasia patients with laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor anterior fundoplication are presented. 18 patients underwent surgery between August 1991 and July 1995. Completeness of myotomies and calibration of fundoplications were measured using intraoperative manometry. Only one intraoperative complication, a perforation of the mucosa sutured laparoscopically, was encountered. There were no surgical mortalities nor postoperative morbidities. Mean hospital stay was 3.4 days. Complete relief of dysphagia and modifications of radiological and manometric patterns were achieved in all patients. All patients remain asymptomatic at 2 to 48 months from surgery. These results compare favourably with those of traditional surgery and of pneumatic dilatation.

[Cervix incompetence].

The incontinence cervix is one of the most controversial topics in obstetrics and gynecology. The cause of cervical incontinence is due to trauma to the cervix resulting from injury during childbirth, mechanical dilation, or surgery. Dilatation of the internal cervical os is difficult to detect by digital examination in patients with a closed external cervical os. Transvaginal ultrasonographic assessment of the cervix should be adopted as the "gold standard".

[Physiopathology of pneumoperitoneum].

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic surgery contributes to many clinical advantages, but pneumoperitoneum in human body has new physiopathological consequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The aim of this study was to review recent literature about the effects of pneumoperitoneum. Cardiovascular, pulmonary and liver functions were examinated after pneumoperitoneum. RESULTS: There is a correlation between the increase in intra-abdominal pressure and properties of gas chosen (CO2 vs helium). There is a correlation between serum level modifications of liver functionality in postoperative laparoscopic surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery has contributed to many clinical advantages (postoperative pain reduction, swift resumption, etc.), but pneumoperitoneum modifies physiological function. The aim of our next work will be the assessment of postoperative liver function, without clinical symptoms.
