Major surgery in leukemic patients.

During the last ten years, 15 major operations have been performed in our ward on 14 patients with leukemia. Nine had an uncomplicated postoperative course, two succumbed to overwhelming postoperative infections, another two died from cardiovascular complications and one from carcinomatous spread. There were no wound-related complications and no granulocyte or platelet transfusions were necessary. It is concluded that major surgery should not be avoided in patients solely because of the presence of a leukemic process.

Varicosities of uncommon sites: therapeutic aspects.

Five cases of varicosities of uncommon sites-suprapubic (2), abdominal and lower thoracic wall (1), gluteal region (1), and vulva (1)-are reported. The treatment given consisted of sclerotherapy and compressive bandaging. In order to obtain adequate compression in the inguinal and pubic regions it was necessary to resort to various improvisations (using wide elastic bandages and sheets of firm foamy material).
