Resection of the rectum with preservation of continence by means of a transanal anastomosis.

Resection of the rectum with restoration of continuity via a transanal side-to-side anastomosis is a relatively simple and safe surgical technique for the treatment of tumours localized 9 cm or more from the anus. Even a temporary artificial anus is superfluous. In none of the six patients thus treated was any complication observed, all are normally continent. The technique used is described in detail.

Splenic vein thrombosis with oesophageal varices: a late complication of umbilical vein catheterization.

On the basis of observations made on three infants, a description is given of a late complication of umbilical vein catheterization not hitherto reported. The children showed the symptoms of thrombosis of the splenic vein with secondary splenomegaly and marked gastric and/or esophageal varices, while the portal vein showed no abnormality. The diagnosis was preoperatively established by means of selective angiography of the superior mesenteric artery and the splenic artery. Treatment in these three cases consisted of splenectomy, with good clinical and radiological results.
