Preliminary results of a long myotomy with antireflux procedure for achalasia of the oesophagus.

In most centers the myotomy described by Heller and Zaayer is presently the treatment of choice for achalasia. Scrutinised reports show that the results of this operation are marred by complications. The reason is obvious: an insufficient myotomy may fail to relieve the symptoms of dysphagia and an incision sufficient to relieve obstruction may result in reflex oesophagitis. The technique described by Belsey consisting of a long myotomy combined with an antireflux procedure seems to be superior. The rational of this operation and preliminary results are discussed.

Gracilis muscle transplant for delayed healing of the perineal wound.

Delayed perineal wound healing frequently complicates a proctocolectomy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. In almost half of the patients the evicerated pelvic space is not closed six months after surgery. Conventional surgery is very unsuccessful in the treatment of this persistent perineal fistula. A new technique is described using the transposition of the gracilis muscle to fill the perineal cavity. It is an easy procedure that solves a difficult problem.

[Rupture of the ulnar, collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, so-called 'wobbly thumb'].

A stable metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb is indispensable for a normal grip function of the hand. The joint is stabilized by collateral ligaments. A rupture of the ulnar, collateral ligament is often caused by a sports trauma, as indicated by the denominations "skiërs duim", "goalkeeper's thumb" and "baseball thumb". Many surgeons are not familiar with the phenomenon of an insufficient collateral ligament, also called "wackeldaum". In the period 1981-1985 a consecutive series of 35 patients with a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament was operated in the De Wever hospital Heerlen (Netherlands). On the basis of our own patients, attention is given to the diagnosis, therapy and results of the operative treatment of these lesions.

[Gracilis muscle transplant for delayed healing of the perineal wound (author's transl)].

Delayed perineal wound healing frequently complicates a proctocolectomy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. In almost half of the patients the eviscerated dead space is not closed 6 months after surgery. A new technique is described. The gracilis muscle can be used as a transplant to fill the perineal cavity. It is an easy procedure that solves a difficult problem.
