[Biliary peritonitis. Clinical and statistical findings in 37 cases].

Following an aetiopathogenetic and physiopathological discussion of biliary peritonitis, a statistical analysis of the main clinical symptoms observed is presented on the basis of 37 personal cases with a view to highlighting diagnostic factors capable of identifying a disease process which may easily be confused with other acute abdominal diseases. The need to intervene as quickly as possible is finally noted.

[Proximal selective vagotomy. Statistical review approximately 200 cases of selective vagotomy. Preventive note].

Gastric resection for the correction of duodenal hyperacidity in patients suffering from duodenal ulcer has always seemed out of proportion to the objective which is simply that of the clinical and anatomopathological cure of a small lesion. Vagotomy, particularly proximal selective v. offers the surgeon a rational approach to duodenal ulcer. This is also seen in the series of the F. Ponti Surgery Division of the Ca' Granda General Hospital of Milan.

[Suppurative disease of the ano-rectal tract].

Suppuration of the anal-rectal tract usually requires nothing more than ordinary surgical management. In many cases, however, particularly when the fistula lies entirely above the anal sphincter, the picture is complicated, with recurrences and exacerbations. In addition, incontinence following unsuitable surgery may constitute a possible risk. Statistical assessment of a personal series is primarily directed to analysis of factors leading to chronic evolution of the disease and its complications. Eclectic management founded on the surgeon's experience, but nevertheless based on well-defined techniques, will be found to offer the best results.

[Surgical problem of extensive iliaco-femoral artery obstructions].

Extensive iliacofemoral obstruction has always posed a difficult therapeutical problem for the surgeon. Personal experience is cited in support of employment of the deep femoral artery as a natural by-pass, together with its anastomoses. The indications for this form of management are discussed, along with the techniques required. Some personal cases are described.

[Current acquisitions on phlebopathies of the lower extremities].

Phlebology has made considerable efforts to free itself from empiricism in recent years. Careful scientific methods have enabled previously unhoped-for results to be obtained in very widespread and debilitating diseases. New and in some cases revolutionary concepts are described, whose application presupposes the existence of well-trained teams. Personal results are also presented.
