[Partial resection of the spleen for echinococcus cysts with ultrasonic surgical aspirator].

The superior extremity of the spleen was resected in a 52-year-old male patient due to a calcified echinococcus cyst, using an ultrasonic surgical aspirator (Cavitron). Blood loss was limited and no postoperative morbidity was reported. This method appears to be useful in all cases in which it is possible to avoid splenectomy in order to reduce the risk of uncontrolled postoperative infections.

Echinococcosis

[Microsurgery in gynecology. 8 years' clinical activity].

A series of 110 patients given surgical treatment for "mechanical infertility of varying origin in 1980-88 is examined". The classification system proposed for the microsurgical procedures available is based both on personal experience and on the classification of the causes of mechanical infertility in women according to aetiopathogenesis. Clinical results are judged in terms of pregnancies achieved and suggest that while adhesiotomy, salpyngostomy, t-t tubal anastomosis and cornual reimplantation are all useful, fimbrioplasty is less likely to give good results, particularly in the long term. Finally the links between gynaecological microsurgery and F.I.V.E.T. and G.I.F.T. are analysed.

Reversal of sterilization by microsurgical technique.

Tubal sterilization techniques that spare the fimbriae and cause the least amount of tubal destruction offer the best chance for reversal of sterilization. Patients seeking reversal of sterilization should be carefully selected. Surgical technique and equipment are important factors in reversal procedures; microsurgical techniques are shown to be more effective than macroscopic techniques.

Anastomosis, Surgical

[A case of carcinoma of the cervical esophagus treated with interposition of an intestinal loop revascularized using a microsurgical technique].

The Authors present a case of hypopharyngeal tumor in which digestive continuity was assured by a jejunal autotransplant. Tumoral exeresis and jejunal preparation were carried out at the same time by two surgical teams. The use of microsurgical techniques assures the revascularization of the neck transplant by implementing the superior thyroid artery and the internal jugular vein. Digestive anastomoses complete the operation.
