[Extrafascial excision of the rectum or total meso-rectal excision?].

Total mesorectal excision is a valuable technique in preventing local recurrences cancer. However the use of the word "mesorectum" is inaccurate anatomically, and the implication that total excision of all the perirectal fat contained within the perirectal fascia in all patients with rectal cancer will minimize local recurrences remains contentious. The term extrafascial excision of the rectum is more accurate. He may contribute as well to a better understanding of the surgical technique allowing all surgeons to improve their own results.

Intrascrotal hernia of the ureter and fatty hernia.

Intrascrotal hernia of the ureter is a rare event. We describe here one such case. There are two anatomic types of such ureteral hernias. The paraperitoneal type has a peritoneal indirect sac, which pulls the ureter with it. The extraperitoneal ureteral hernia is without a peritoneal sac. In such cases, which are almost always indirect hernias, there is usually a large amount of fat. It is, in fact, retroperitoneal fat, which slides, and pulls the ureter with it by gravity. Such a case is a genuine prolapse of the retroperitoneal structures. This anomaly, which has been rarely studied, is worth knowing about, because the ureter may be damaged during hernia dissection. The surgeon should be cautious when discovering huge fatty hernias, and should avoid the excision of fat and simply return the fatty mass to its normal place after its separation from the cord.

[Intrascrotal herniation of the ureter].

We describe one case of intra-scrotal hernia of the right ureter. The anomaly was recognized on a pre-operatory urogram. It was an extra-peritoneal ureteral hernia. There are two types of ureteral hernia: the para-peritoneal hernia with a peritoneal sac; the extra-peritoneal type with only a fatty hernia. The mecanism of the latter illustrated by our case is a prolapse of the retro-peritoneal fat. It is not possible to practice an urogram before the cure of every inguinal hernia, so the prevention in this rare situation of the damage of ureter is to be cautious in the resection of huge lipomas and sliding fat when operating on inguinal hernias.

[Recklinghausen's disease and gastrointestinal stromal tumors].

Gastro-intestinal stromal tumors associated with Recklinghausen's disease should be considered in the current concept of the stromal tumors with reference to recent advances in immuno-chemistry. In this setting, there is an high potential of maluignancy. For the treatment of these lesions, surgery is the main tool. Frequency of malignant digestive diseases associated with Recklinghausen disease should be kept in mind.

[Vaginal hysterectomy:apropos of a series of 1008 interventions].

STUDY AIM: The aim of this study was to analyse our vaginal hysterectomies performed for prolapsed uterus and non prolapsed uterus with benign disease. For the latter indication, a comparison was made with abdominal hysterectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From february 1986 to december 1998, 1008 vaginal hysterectomies were performed in our department: 219 for prolapsed uterus and 789 for non prolapsed uterus with benign disease. During the same time, 217 abdominal hysterectomies were performed for non prolapsed uterus with benign disease. RESULTS: Intra-operative and post-operative complications had the same rates in the two groups. Owing to the low number of abdominal hysterectomies, we cannot draw a valuable conclusion. The study of the literature shows in this field an advantage for the vaginal hysterectomy; mean time hospitalization was shorter in the vaginal group. CONCLUSION: Advantages of vaginal hysterectomy are multiple: aesthetic, shorter hospitalization, quicker recovery. The low rate of vaginal hysterectomy on non prolapsed uterus with non malignant disease is linked with the lack in training of surgeons for the vaginal approach. In these cases, a rate of 70% is a realistic one in a well trained hospital center.

[Richter's spinofixation in vaginal prolapse].

The transvaginal sacrospinous fixation, called Richter operation was initially aimed to cure vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy. The results are as good as those of the abdominal promontory fixation with the well known advantages of the vaginal route. Indications way be extended to V3 U3 R3 prolapse and cure of elytrocele with good results in our practice. In few cases remnant cystocele may be a trouble some problem.

[Inguinal hernia under laparoscopy. Pubic osteitis].

Osteitis pubis is a well known complication of urologic procedures but its association with herniorraphy is poorly documented in the literature. We report a case of osteitis pubis after coelioscopic cure of hernia. It is too early to know its frequency in coelioscopic repair. The choice of this technic might be discussed if it appears that with this technic the frequency is higher than in traditional surgery where it was rare.

[Idiopathic segmental infarction of the great omentum. Value of celioscopy].

Segmental infarction of the great omentum is a possible aetiology of acute abdominal pain. The diagnosis was difficult before operation and, generally the patient was operated upon with the diagnosis of appendicitis, or less often by laparotomy. The laparoscopy appears to be nowadays the ideal way of diagnosis, as this was the case in two of our patients. The treatment is also possible by laparoscopy (one of our patients). Generally speaking the laparoscopy should be of great help in the diagnosis of some acute abdominal pain, and could reduce the number of the so called non specific abdominal pain.

[Aberrant biliary ducts and cysto-hepatic ducts. A comprehensive study].

Though very different, aberrant bile ducts and cysto-hepatic ducts are often confused. Aberrant bile ducts are abnormal ducts which do not drain any segment or sector of the liver. They are filled of bile counter-flow and can be injured not only in the gallbladder bed, but also elsewhere on the surface of the liver. Cysto-hepatic ducts are normal ducts, draining segment or sector of the liver, but because of an embryologic sliding, their branching is on the gallbladder or on the cystic duct. All these ducts can be injured during cholecystectomy, and it would be of importance to recognize the true type of duct one has to deal with, by radiologic explorations. The management is different as aberrant bile ducts need only to be ligated, instead, the cysto-hepatic ducts may require a reimplantation in the common bile duct or Roux en y loop. We discuss all these problems on the basis of 1200 traditional cholecystectomies where 1 aberrant bile duct, 3 cysto-hepatic ducts, and 3 external biliary fistulas were encountered.

[Cholecystectomy by laparoscopic approach. A trial for evaluating the biliary risk].

Owing to the wide diffusion of the coelioscopic cholecystectomy some problems are worth studying. From a technical standpoint they are important changes: use of monopolar current for coagulation, suppression of intra-operative cholangiography, absence of suture of the gallbladder bed, systematic retrograde dissection. Theoritically these modifications are important enough to increase the biliary risk. As a matter of fact, comparison with traditional cholecystectomy data as well as results of preliminary studies on coelioscopic cholecystectomy does not confirm such a risk. This operation appears safe, at least if indications are limited to non complicated cholelithiasis.

[Pseudostriction of hiatal hernia. Apropos of a case with incarceration of the transverse mesocolon and small intestine].

Massive hiatal hernia is a lesion at risk of incarceration, volvulus, and obstruction. The true paraesophageal type is a very rare condition and probably often mistaken with end-stage slidind hernia. Furthermore reflux and oesophagitis are always possible. In this case report a small bowel loop was incarcerated with a massive hiatal hernia. This association was only possible because of the existence of an associated transverse mesocolis hernia giving way to the small bowel. An emergency operation was necessary. The need of surgical treatment of such lesions is stressed, if possible before acute complication, even if they are asymptomatic at the time of diagnostic, which is a quite common condition.

[Non-operative extraction of residual stones after surgery on the main biliary pathways. Value of Burhenne-Mazariello's technique (author's transl)].

Early detection of residual stones in the main biliary pathways during external drainage following surgery has, until recently, required a repeat operation with all its associated technical and psychological problems. Currently, however, Burhenne-Mazariello's nonoperative extraction technique is a very reliable therapeutic measure, as shown by results in 8 cases and those reported by the authors. Furthermore, this technique can be applied by a surgeon isolated in a small centre with the minimum of material, with a high probability of success. Other conservative techniques, particularly instillations through the external drain, are still valid and can be complementary to Burhenne's method, which for the authors, however, remains the therapy of choice.
