[Porcelain gallbladder and cancer (author's transl)].

The porcelain gallbladder is a rare entity. It reaches especially the old woman. Most of the porcelain gallbladders have a great clinical latence. A cancer of the gallbladder exists in eleven per cent of the cases: this justifies a systematic cholecystectomy of the calcified gallbladders, even if they are asymptomatic. Another digestive cancer exists in nine per cent of the cases. Three personal observations of porcelain gallbladder which are associated with a cancer are described: they confirm the facts of the literature.

Autotransfusion systems (ATS).

Due to the large number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures and the subsequent increase in demand for blood volume replacement, the use of autotransfusion is increasing in the postoperative setting. In a study conducted by Roche and Stengel it was estimated that the country's blood resources could be depleted by these surgical procedures. The use of autotransfusion offers a viable solution for this problem. Studies suggest that with autotransfusion, bank blood requirements may decrease as much as 50 percent. The ready availability and economic advantages associated with autotransfusion may also ensure continued use of systems of this type. It has been the authors' experience thus far that both systems presented have been safe and effective when used in postoperative management of the cardiac surgical patient.
