Operative complications of abdominal vagotomy.

To assess the incidence of operative complications, mortality, and accuracy of vagotomy in transabdominal vagotomy, 733 cases were reviewed. Statistics are compared with those of other authors. A loose comparison of patients operated on by resident surgeons versus those operated on by attending surgeons is also made. Our preference for immediate microscopic examination of vagotomy specimens is stressed. One unusual complication is described.

The subxiphoid approach in the treatment of pericardial effusion.

Subxiphoid pericardiotomy for diagnosis and treatment of pericardial effusion is a safe procedure. Not only does it appear to be safer than aspiration, but it yields more information because of its ability to obtain pericardial tissue. The recurrence rate of pericardial effusion is lower using subxiphoid pericardiotomy. For these reasons it is the technique of choice for diagnosis and treatment of nontraumatic pericardial effusion.
