[Protection of cervical anastomosis after retrosternal coloplasty by an resorbable collagen impregnated lattice].

One of the main problems of retrosternal oesophagoplasty is the frequent fistulization of the cervical anastomosis. In 27 consecutive patients we protected the cervical anastomosis by means of a new absorbable polyglactin 910 mesh impregnated with collagen. The mesh, which was 3 cm wide and 4 cm long, was applied on two-thirds of the circumference of the anastomosis. A comparison between these patients and a series of 27 consecutive patients with unprotected cervical anastomosis showed a fall in fistulization rate from 41% to 14%, the difference being significant (P less than 0.05). No complication due to the use of this material was observed.

[Morbidity factors in Nissen's procedure].

Between 1975 and 1986, 96 adult patients were operated upon for gastro-esophageal reflux using the abdominal approach to Nissen's operation, eight of these patients having undergone previous surgery to treat reflux. Diagnosis in 44 patients was stage III esophagitis, and in 16, symptomatic peptic stenosis. Mortality was 0.9% (1 case) and morbidity 14%. Morbidity was not increased in previously operated patients. Based on these results and a literature review, different technical factors are discussed that could reduce morbidity of Nissen's operation.

[Intramural cyst of the esophagus. Apropos of a surgical case].

Surgical excision of a benign cyst of esophagus was justified by the presence of dysphagia, totally relieved by the operation. Esophageal cysts are exceptional findings, their histology often resembling that of bronchogenic cysts as in the case reported.
