From 1971 onwards we have been examining the anatomy and histology of sphincter components in patients with several anorectal malformation who died of associated anomalies. These histological studies demonstrated that not only puborectal muscle but also the superficial and deep external sphincters exist, even in the high type anomalies, and that the mass of external sphincter is located above the anal dimple. Moreover, the inner circular muscle of rectum is thickened at the level of the closest part of the fistula. Based on our histological studies, we devised our new operation to use all the sphincter musculature effectively for the newly reconstructed anal canal. Our new surgical procedure is clearly different from Kiesewetter-Rehbein's method in that the puborectal muscle is penetrated from the outside of rectal wall and might be damaged, since puborectal muscle is attached to the blind pouch of rectum. Moreover, the puborectal muscle and the external sphincters can be easily identified by electrical stimulation under direct vision from extended sacroperineal approach. And the colon can be pulled exactly through the centre of the external sphincters and puborectal muscle under direct vision without causing any damage to these important sphincters, unlike Pena's operation.

The Japanese Society for Esophageal Cancer has defined mucosal and submucosal cancer as superficial cancer of the esophagus. Superficial cancer without metastasis was defined as early cancer of the esophagus. Of 104 cases of superficial cancer resected in these twenty years, early cancer was 62 cases, the incidence being 4.9% of all resected cases. The operative mortality rate and 5-year-survival rate of early cancer were 1.9% and 62%, respectively. As for the depth of the cancerous invasion, 14 of 104 superficial cancer cases were mucosal cancer. Twelve of 14 mucosal cancer belonged to early cancer. Vascular invasion was noted in one of 12 early mucosal cancer cases. No cancer death has been encountered in the early mucosal cancer cases. So the discovery of the mucosal cancer is mandatory to obtain the excellent results. For this purpose the value of endoscopy including the dying method, should be emphasized. In terms of treatment of the early cancer no special surgical procedure has been considered. The lymph node dissection has been carried out systematically. Some kinds of postoperative combined treatments are performed for early cancer cases with vascular invasion. The reduction surgery and the noninvasive treatment will be advisable for the small mucosal lesions.
Persistent fever during active-phase IE is an indication for surgical treatment in the light of the causative organism and the underlying disease. To counter worsening hemodynamics, surgery may be the only feasible way. Surgery is performed when the patient does not respond to vasodilators and he shows FS of less than 25%. The introduction of translocation provides a solution for the treatment of active IE. Lesions, vegetations more than 5mm in diameter, periannular abscess, and mycotic aneurysm that could never be overlooked by two-dimensional echocardiography may hasten the early stage decision of ways to treat IE.

Cell nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content was microspectrophotometrically determined in 35 cases of mucosal and submucosal carcinoma of the esophagus. DNA distribution pattern was classified into types I, II, III, and IV, according to the degree of dispersion on the DNA histogram, in the order of wider distribution. Patients with types I and II (relatively regular in DNA distribution) had an uneventful postoperative course and no recurrence, whereas 3 of 15 (20%), and 5 of 9 (55.6%) with type III and type IV, respectively (widely scattered DNA distribution), died following a recurrence. Cytophotometric DNA analysis of the cancer cells reflected well the outcome in patients with esophageal carcinoma. These results suggest the potential usefulness of cytophotometric DNA analysis for assessing the prognosis, even in the early stage of esophageal carcinoma.
