Efficacy of TPN in cirrhotic patients with bleeding esophageal varices .

The efficacy of TPN was evaluated in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension and bleeding esophageal varices. Two groups of patients were studied: the first group underwent routine treatment and the second group was treated with TPN both pre-and postoperatively. Metabolic humoral parameters (proteins, electrolytes, gas levels) as well as specific nutritional parameters (anthropometric values, immune state, nitrogen balance) of the two groups were compared. The most suitable parenteral nutrition is assessed in cases where the cirrhotic patient shows a severe encephalopathy.

[A fecal fistula in patient who underwent an abdomino-perineal resection with a continent magnetic prosthesis: observations on an obsolete technique].

The Authors consider a case of a patient who underwent an abdominal-perineal resection and presented a fecal fistula as a late complication of a magnetic prosthesis implant. After a revision of the literature, the Authors evaluate the reasons for abandoning this surgical technique of continence many years ago, underlying not only the complications observed during the experimentation but also the lack of those benefits for which this technique was proposed.

[Mininvasive treatment of strangulated paraesophageal hiatal hernia in emergency. Case report].

The Authors report a case of strangulated paraesophageal hiatal hernia occurred in a elderly woman and treated with laparoscopic approach. After review of the literature regard on this uncommon pathology that present about 5% of the hiatal hernias, they emphasize that the laparoscopic approach is appropriated even in emergency and comprises complete reduction of the stomach in abdomen, control of suitable position of the distal esophagus and cardias and making of effective hiatus-plasty.

[Pseudoachondrodysplasia (pseudoachondroplastic spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia). Description of 2 non-familial cases].

Two non familial cases of pseudoachondroplasia are reported. The patients, observed at 4 years and 6 months and 5 years respectively, show short-limb dwarfism with disproportionated long trunk and with normal head and face. Flattening of vertebral bodies with biconvex deformity and short tubular bones with irregular epiphyses and metaphyses are the major radiographic features. In these patients to state the type of genetic transmission is very arduous, as the genetic heterogeneity of the pseudoachondroplasia.

[Cervical neurinomas. (Considerations in five cases operated in Day-Surgery)].

We report the experiment of five cases of neurinoma observed in the division of Day Surgery of the Third Surgery Clinic, operating in the Hematology Institute of University of Studies "La Sapienza" in Rome. The problems of the diagnosis of this neoplasia has been faced, though it is commonly unknown or confused with other cervical especially lymphonodules tumefactions, from which it is almost impossible to distinguish before the operation. In the period of six years on 775 cases of cervical neoformations have been operated only 5 patients bearers of neuromi; two originated from vago cervicale (right and left), one from simpatico cervicale on the left, another from the left spinal accessory and the last from the secondary medial trunk of the left brachial plexus. All the patients have been operated in Day-Surgery anaesthesia, locoregional and with calming of spontaneous breath. One case, that originated from the secondary medial trunk of the left brachial plexus, has been operated with microsurgical technique. On all the cases has been done a subcapsular exeresis to preserve nervous continuity. No post operating complications have been recorded; all the patients discharged in the evening. The diagnosis about the nature is left to the final histological test on the operating piece. The surgical removal remains even today the elective treatment able to exclude probable relapses and potential malignant transformation of these tumours.
