Comparison of results of treatment of hydrocele and epididymal cysts by surgery and injection.

A comparison has been made between a series of hydroceles and cysts of epididymis treated by surgery with a complication rate of at least 17% haematoma and 10% sepsis, an average hospital stay of five days, and a much longer time off work, and a series treated by tapping and injection (described in detail) requiring one to three visits to outpatients, an almost negligible complication rate, and no failures in those completing treatment.

Combined horizontal and longitudinal colomyotomy for diverticular disease: preliminary report.

The operation of horizontal and longitudinal colomyotomy for diverticular disease is described and satisfactory short-term results in six patients are presented. The indications and reasons for the use of this procedure are discussed. It is suggested that the operation is a satisfactory treatment, without the risks associated with division of all the circular muscle fibers, or with resection and anastomosis. The necessity for long-term high dietary fiber intake is stressed.
