[Three hundred and seventy-one cases of colon carcinoma; analysis and results (author's transl)].

Between 1963 and 1978 the authors operated 371 patients for adenocarcinoma of the colon. The operability rate was as high as 99%. Sixty-three percent of the group were women. The average age was 66 years. A resection could be done in 86.5% of the cases; of those 75% were considered curative. Only 6.7% were stage A. Right-sided lesions were treated with a right hemicolectomy. On the left side a left hemicolectomy was the operation of choice. A segmental resection was performed when local and general factors were unfavorable. The operative mortality (within 30 days) was 12.5% for the total group for "curative" resections the mortality was 9.9% all cases considered and 7.3% for these operated upon between 1971 and 1978. The survival rate for all operated patients is 34.8% (corrected 42.1%) 5 years later and remains about the same at 10 years (29.3%) (corrected 41.9%).

[Surgical experiences with adrenal tumors (author's transl)].

Between 1957 and 1978 the authors operated 15 patients with an adrenal tumor. This series includes six pheochromocytomas, seven cortical tumors, one adrenal cyst and one neuroblastoma. The specific diagnostic and therapeutic problems encountered in this group of different type tumors are discussed. In the group of six pheochromocytomas one was benign but recurred nine years later, one was a paraganglioma and one a malignant pheochromocytoma with functional glandular metastases. The seven cortical tumors are divided into one functional benign tumor, two non-functional benign tumors of which one was located outside the adrenal gland, two non-functional malignant tumors, one functional malignant tumor and one syndrome of Conn.

[Surgical treatment of rectal cancer (author's transl)].

The authors report there surgical experience with rectal cancer. From 1963 to 1974, 346 patients were hospitalized, of which 359 were operated, which constitute a operatory rate of 98%. A exeresis was performed in 85% of the cases. Briefly, the authors use two types of operation : an anterior resection and an abdominoperineal amputation of the rectum with two synchronized teams--the operation of Lloyd-Davies--which constitutes an obvious progress compared to the operation of Miles. The overall postoperatory mortality remained high : 8.8% which represents 10.1% for the operation of Lloyd-Davies, and 6.7% for the anterior resection. Two hundred and twenty-four patients have been operated with a follow-up of at least 5 years; 4 [1.6%] were not reseen and are considered deceased. The overall survival at 5 years was 36.4%. The survival rate at 5 years, not corrected, of operations including an exeresis was 43.1% which represents 37.2% for the operation of Lloyd-Davies and 51.2% for the anterior resection. This survival rate includes all patients operated and not only those who survived the operation.
