[Effect of anastomosis technic on wound healing in the gastrointestinal tract. Animal experiment study of the dog colon with special reference to manual suture technics].

Three manual suture techniques (double-layer inverting, single-layer end-to-end, and continuous suture of the submucosa) were compared with anastomoses performed by stapling instruments (EEA, KZ 28) on the canine colon. The two manual techniques with exact end-to-end apposition led to primary wound-healing during the early postoperative period (3-20 days). There was no significant stenosis at the site of anastomosis five and ten months postoperatively. Inverting sutures as well as stapled anastomoses, however, showed delayed healing with considerable inflammatory reaction, resulting in marked stenosis after five to ten months.

Splenic repair by fibrin tissue adhesive and collagen fleece.

A new biogenic tissue adhesive has been used for repair of traumatic and incidental splenic lesions in 108 patients. The theoretical basis of fibrin adhesive application and technical details of this method, including the combination with a collagen fleece, are described. Complete hemostasis was achieved in 100 patients. In incidental splenic lesions the success rate of the method was 94%, and the overall salvage rate 87%. The corresponding figures for traumatic lesions were 87% and 60%, respectively. Postoperative complications developed in five patients, necessitating relaparotomy in four. In three of these patients complications were not related to the splenic repair. It can be concluded that the use of fibrin tissue adhesive is a safe and reliable method for repair in the majority of incidental and traumatic splenic injuries.

[Anastomotic technique in tracheal resection. Animal experiments (author's transl)].

In 24 rabbits and 6 dogs, two subtotal tracheal transsections each were reanastomosed using Dexon , Vicryl, Prolene and Mersilene in running or interrupted suture technique. In order to avoid traumatisation of the perichondrium, sutures included the marginal cartilagenous ring and all layers of the tracheal wall. By putting every second stitch in a 8-figure, an ideal adaptation could be achieved. Half of the anastomoses were secured by additional application of fibrin tissue adhesive. Macroscopical and histological examinations were carried out 5, 10, 21 and 63 days postoperatively. Mersilene resulted in remarkable inflammatory tissue reaction - increasing from the 5th day on - leading to extensive granulomas, abscesses, ulcerations of the mucosa and erosion of the cartilage. In contrast, by using synthetic absorbable materials as well as prolene, minimal tissue reaction occurred with an even and delicate scar formation. The findings do not support the view, that an extramucosal stitch technique is essential. The additional sealing with fibrin tissue adhesive increased the safety of the anastomoses during the early postoperative period.

[Successful reconstruction of the completely transsected hepato-duodenal ligament. Case report on ischemia tolerance of the human liver].

Incidental complete transsection of the hepato-duodenal ligament occurred in a 59-year-old female patient during gastric surgery. More than three hours later reconstruction of the portal vein, hepatic artery and common bile duct was started, performing end-to-end anastomoses in all cases. The time interval between transsection and restoration of blood flow was 225 minutes for the portal vein and 255 minutes for the right hepatic artery. The left hepatic artery could not be reconstructed. The postoperative course was unremarkable clinically, however, there was an extreme initial rise in the levels of SGOT, SGPT, LDH, and alpha-amylase, followed by a somewhat delayed jaundice with bilirubin levels above 10 mg/dl. In-hospital follow-up examinations were performed 6 and 13 month postoperatively. They revealed good clinical condition, patent blood vessels, slight displacement of the biliary anastomosis by scar tissue without functional stenosis and gradual normalisation of biochemical parameters. The left hepatic lobe became initially necrotic, later atrophic.

[Importance of peritoneal lavage in the diagnosis of blunt abdominal trauma (author's transl)].

Peritoneal lavage was carried out in 830 patients with blunt abdominal trauma. Positive as well as negative results proved to be very reliable (98% and 99.5% accuracy). With weakly positive findings, however, significant internal injuries were present in only half of the cases. If compared to circulatory parameters, laboratory investigations and clinical evaluation of the abdomen at the time of hospitalization, peritoneal lavage proved to be the superior aid in making a decision to operate. It therefore should be used routinely--even in smaller hospitals--especially before transferal of a patient to a distant special surgical center.

[The use of fibrin tissue adhesive in parenchymal organs of the abdomen. An experimental study in rabbits and dogs (author's transl)].

In rabbits and dogs standardized lesions of the liver, kidney, and spleen were treated by application of human fibrinogen tissue adhesive. In all cases this procedure resulted in a complete control of bleeding as well as a stable and lasting closure of the wounds. During the postoperative observation time of one month, the fibrinogen tissue adhesive was initially infiltrated by leucocytes and macrophages and subsequently resorbed by a granulating tissue, characterized by the early appearance of numerous fibroblasts. Our clinical experience, until now, confirms these promising experimental results.

[Risk of hepatitis in fibrin adhesion (author's transl)].

A prospective trial was performed on 146 patients, in whom fibrin tissue adhesive was applied during operations. 130 patients, who had received no fibrin glue, served as a control group, and were submitted to the same examinations as the first group of probands. In both groups we could not see any infections with hepatitis B.

[Potency disorders following aorto-bifemoral bypass prosthesis].

The sexual potency of 170 patients treated for obstructions of the pelvic arteries by implantation of an aortobifemoral dacron graft was investigated 2--4 years after the operation. About half of these patients reported preoperative sexual disorder. Postoperatively, 60% of those capable of cohabitation prior to the operation developed either new or further sexual dysfunction. A lasting normalization of potency was reported by 12 patients, a transitory improvement by 4 others. Avoiding damage to the preaortal sympathetic plexus led to a decrease in the rate of isolated disorder in ejaculation from 15% to 1%, but not, however, to a lower frequency of potency disturbance in general. The evaluation of 142 informative preoperative angiograms showed a clear dependence of preoperative potency on the orthograde perfusion of the internal iliac artery. Similarly, the postoperative changes in potency correlated with the angiographically expected improvement or worsening of the interna-poerfusion by retrograde blood flow. It therefore seems possible to decrease the occurrence of postoperative potency disorders by the additional revascularization of the internal iliac artery in certain patients.

[Initial clinical experiences with fibrin adhesives in traumatic and intraoperative splenic injury].

Over a period of 14 months, 2 traumatic and 14 intraoperative splenic lesions were managed by application of fibrin tissue adhesive, mostly in combination with the use of a collagen sponge. In all cases hemorrhage could be stopped completely with out mobilization of the spleen. This method proved to be very suitable in the repair of smaller incidental capsular tears. In the management of more extensive traumatic ruptures, it should support the conventional surgical techniques described in the literature. It certainly will make these procedures safer and easier to perform.

[Indication margins for pulmonary embolectomy].

Pulmonary embolectomy is the most effective form of treatment in acute, massive pulmonary embolism. Persistent cardio-respiratory failure, in spite of intensive medical therapy, presents a clear indication for embolectomy. A relative indication is given with the occlusion of more than 50% of the pulmonary arterial tree, especially in the case of beginning circulatory failure and contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy. Preoperative angiography is essential and should be performed whenever possible. A dramatic deterioration of the patient's condition may, however, require a prior reestablishment of sufficient circulation with relief of the right ventricle. According to the clarity of symptoms, either immediate thoracotomy or peripheral canulation and partial cardio-pulmonary bypass with subsequent angiography on the operating table should be preferred. Even a long resuscitation with persistently dilated, non-reactive pupils does not exclude operative success, and justifies neither the ommission nor the premature discontinuance of a resolute and consistent therapy.

[Comparative studies of various suture techniques in transthoracic esophagogastric anastomoses in dogs (author's transl)].

In 27 dogs esophagogastric anastomoses were performed in a single-layered end-on, a three-layered end-on and a double-layered inverting technique. The anastomoses were reinvestigated on the 2., 4., 7., 15. and 30. postoperative day. Suture line leakages were not observed. The inverted suture resulted in considerable anastomotic stenosis, ulceration of the mucosa, disordered and initially incomplete revascularisation, and widespread granulomatous inflammatory reaction. In contrast, the end-on technique led to almost no stenosis, ordered revascularisation, and narrow and delicate scar tissue formation while maintaining a normally layered structure. The single-layered methode was superior to the three-layered one. The best results were obtained by the extramucous technique.

[Colonic anastomoses. Mechanical and morphological findings].

In healthy mongrel dogs 45 colonic anastomoses were performed in one--and two layered inverting and single layered end-on technique. They were compared 4, 8, and 18 days after surgery macroscopically, histologically and by tension testing. All criteria showed the single layered end-on technique to be superior. The principle of Lembert, aiming for contact of large areas of serosa, should be replaced by a technique resulting in exact reconstruction of intestinal wall without mucosal damage.
