[Laparoscopy-assisted colon surgery--overview and personal experiences with 64 patients].

The number of laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted operations in abdominal surgery constantly increases. 64 patients between February 1992 and November 1993 underwent a laparoscopic assisted colorectal procedure. In 5 cases laparotomy was necessary. There were only 4 complications: one subileus treated conservatively and one peritoneal abscess was drained successfully under sonographic guidance; furthermore there were a postoperative pneumonia and a prolapse of the greater omentum in the area pierced by a 10 mm-trocar. The oncologic criteria for the resection of malignant tumours can be fulfilled in laparoscopic surgery. Our first experiences indicate that the advantages for the patient in laparoscopic procedures of the colon/rectum are the same as have been reported in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Simulated operations by pulsatile organ-perfusion in minimally invasive surgery.

The rapid amplification of indications and areas of application of laparoscopic or thoracoscopic techniques leads to increasing problems and needs in surgical training. Pulsatile perfusion of organs (POP) and organ groups in laparoscopic training devices (pelvitrainers) aids in creating optimum conditions for the simulation of difficult intraoperative situations and complications. Simple applicability, low cost, and the possibility of a noticeable reduction of the currently required animal experiments render POP an ideal training method for minimally invasive surgery.

Thoracoscopic resection of a pericardial cyst.

The development of new instruments that can be applied endoscopically opens up new possibilities for minimally invasive thoracic surgery. The surgical technique is exemplified by a thoracoscopic resection of a pericardial cyst. The benefits for the patient are impressive: minimization of surgical trauma and postoperative pain, a short convalescence, and an optimal cosmetic outcome.

"Reversible gastric banding" in surgical treatment of morbid obesity--results of animal experiments.

The basic principle of "reversible gastric banding" as a new surgical approach to morbid obesity treatment is the creation of a small fundus reservoir using a silicone cuff which is coiled around the stomach close to the cardia. The extent of obstruction corresponds to the amount of liquid in the cuff which can be varied by puncture of a valve implanted in the subcutis. The reversibility of gastric obstruction is the great advantage of this method as compared to vertical banded gastroplasty or gastric bypass. We studied this method in animal experiments using seven "Göttinger Minipigs". In two animals the objectives of the study were reached, the observed complications, mostly caused by the nature of the test animal, are analyzed and discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature on animal experiments in bariatric surgery.

A new implantable sphincter prosthesis for artificial anus.

A new totally implantable hydraulic sphincter prosthesis which differs from other systems by a very simple function is presented. The construction and the performance are described and the results of animal experiments are reported. The clinical application of this device in 3 female and 4 male patients has been successful. Indications and contraindications are discussed.

Sclerosing angioma of the lung. Case report and electron microscope investigation.

Electron microscopy of a sclerosing angioma of the lung, a coincidental finding in the upper lobe of a 32-year-old woman. The rare, benign tumor, whose vascular proliferation by light microscopy is reminiscent of an angioma, exhibits a clear epithelial structure by electron microscopy. The tumor may develop out of immature pneumocytes. The paper discusses histogenesis and problems of differential diagnosis (potential confusion with carcinomas).

[Contribution to biliobronchial fistula (author's transl)].

A case report has been made on a bronchobiliary fistula which was caused from an unspecific liver abscess. The causal therapy was the drainage of the liver abscess. The fistula then healed spontaneously. A primary thoracic sanitation of the fistula is in such cases not indicated.

[Functional examination findings after parietal pleurectomy in patients with recurrent of spontaneous pneumothorax (author's transl)].

Eight patients with recurrent of spontaneous pneumothorax were re-examined sixteen months or more after a total parietal pleurectomy had been carried out. This re-examination included: 1. Detailed case history with emphasis on physical performance; 2. clinical findings; 3. Thorax x-ray at two planes; 4. Lungscintigraphy; 5. Spirometry. Following parietal pleurectomy, none of the patients exhibited any functional disturbance worthy of mention. This operative technique, perhaps modified as a partial parietal pleurectomy, can be recommended at this time as the method of choice for treating recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax.
