[Thymectomy at the 2nd Surgical Clinic of the Comenius University Medical School Hospital].

Based on comparison of two groups of thymectomies (46 in 1955-1975 and 158 in 1990-1998) the authors found a marked improvement of the results of thymectomy. During the former period thymectomies had a severe postoperative course with a high lethality and low percentage of remissions. Due to the introduction of immunosuppressive treatment the lethality of thymectomies declined to almost zero and clinical and pharmacological remission resp. was recorded in 70% patients.

[Local complications worsening the results of surgical treatment of colorectal carcinoma in older patients].

The authors compare the results of surgical treatment for colorectal carcinoma in 150 patients aged over 69 years, seen over the years 1979-1988, who had developed local complications requiring urgent surgery. Of gerontologic patients with colorectal carcinoma these represented 24.6%. The cause of the complications was late diagnosis mostly due to the patient's neglect who failed to appreciate an even evident symptomatology. These serious complications of colorectal carcinoma did not present an inoperable condition and in 34% the tumor could be radically removed. The advanced age of the patients along with the necessity of urgent surgery are the major risk factors responsible for the high mortality rate compared to patients who underwent elective surgery.
