[Tracheal diverticulum after surgical correction of esophageal atresia. 2 cases].

Two newborns with congenital oesophageal atresia (Gross type III) were successfully operated on during the neonatal period. The occurrence, several months later, of chronic cough, associated in one infant with impaired pulmonary ventilation, lead to the discovery of a tracheal diverticulum, on the pathway of the primitive tracheo-esophageal fistula. Surgical excision of the diverticulum was followed by complete recovery.

[Surgical treatment of autonomous chronic pancreatitis (apropos of 147 cases)].

Surgery in chronic pancreatitis gives only poor results: 40 p. 100 of cures or long-term improvements. Apart from certain mistaken indications, three factors are associated with a poor prognosis: calcification, late operation, persistence of alcoholism. However, mechanical complications, such as jaundice, pyloric stenosis, digestive hemorrhage and pseudo-cyst, are the main undoubted indications for operation. The choice of operation depends mainly on the state of Wirsung's duct. Usually, either part of the gland is removed or an internal digestive fistula is performed. Removal of the left lobe of the pancreas gives good results. Cephalic duodeno-pancreatectomy which is satisfactory in the short term, does not give, in the long run, better results than those of drainage operations. Pseudo-cysts are treated by removal when situated in the body or the tail and a drainage operation in the cephalic form. Simple operations should be preferred.

[Leiomyoma of the esophagus and pulmonary metastasis].

An important and symptomatic esophageal leiomyoma is treated by enucleation. A secondary metastasis, also important and symptomatic, is resected 3 years later. The follow-up is now 2 years, without any sign of relapse. This case allows for discussion of the malignancy of leiomyoma and of its microscopic criteria.
