[Posttraumatic recurrent luxation of knee joint (author's transl)].

A posttraumatic, recurrent luxation of the knee joint is presented. The cause for the first luxation was a severe trauma. As the treatment of the ligament and capsule ruptures of the first luxation was inadequate, the effect was a completely unstable knee joint. By hyperextension trauma or hyperextension following weakness of the muscles of the thigh recurrent luxations of the knee were caused. The importance of a sufficient treatment of ligament and capsule damage following a knee luxation is emphasized.

[Isolated Crohn's disease of the appendix].

A case of isolated Crohn's disease involving the appendix and, indeed, presenting as acute appendicitis is described and related to 12 analogous cases reported in the literature. Crohn's disease of the appendix is exclusively diagnosed by histopathological evidence. According to published data isolated Crohn's disease of the appendix would not seem to predispose towards the formation of fistulae after appendectomy. Subsequent evidence of Crohn's disease in other sites is similar in frequency to cases with primary Crohn's disease in other parts of the intestinal tract.

[Results of partial duodenopancreatectomies (author's transl)].

The results of 36 partial duodenopancreatectomies (1956-1976) are reported. The operative mortality was 25%, during the last 5 years 12.5%. The lowest operative mortality and the best prognosis was found in carcinomas of Vater's ampulla, with 14.2% mortality and 50% 5 years survival time, followed by carcinomas of the distal bile duct. The most infavorable result was found in the carcinomas of the head of the pancreas with an operative mortality of 36% and the shortest survival times.

[Carcinoma of papilla of Vater and its surgical treatment (author's transl)].

Partial pancreato-duodenectomy is in our opinion the method of choice. Mortality rate 15%; 5-years survival rate 31.5%. The results obtained by resection of Vater's papilla are less favourable: the mean survival time comes only up to less than 50%. Palliative procedures should only be practiced in cases of incurability.
