[Laparotomy in the therapy of Hodgkin's disease].

We have performed laparotomy and splenectomy for seventy patients with Hodgkin's disease. Among 43 stages I or II before exploration, primary laparotomy revealed ignored abdominal localizations in 16 cases (37,2%). Involvement of the spleen occurred in 13 of these 16 patients, lonely (5 cases), associated with positive nodes (4 cases) or associated with positive nodes and liver involvement (4 cases). Among 4 stages III before exploration, no regression was found. Among 9 patients with presumed stages I or II above the diaphragm and previously treated by radiotherapy, delayed laparotomy revealed abdominal relapse in 6 cases. At last, among 14 patients with obvious stages II or IV and previously treated by combination chemotherapy, laparotomy, caused by persistent evolutive signs, showed residual localizations under the diaphragm in 8 cases. According to these results, we preconise immediate laparotomy in almost all presumed stages I or II above the diaphragm. About third of these subjects have their staging advanced to stage III or IV and, according to us must be treated by combination chemotherapy while the remaining cases justify of radiotherapy. In obvious stages III and IV delayed laparotomy may be useful in some circumstances, after chemotherapy.

[Treatment of type II familial hypercholesterolemia by portacaval anastomosis].

Termino-lateral porto-caval anastomosis seems at present to be the most effective treatment for severe familial hypercholesterolaemia. The mechanism by which it acts has not been determined and its long term results are not known. One success and one failure confirm the immediate action of anastomosis in a condition with a fatal prognosis.

[Stenosis of the small intestine after strangulated hernia].

Return to the abdominal cavity of an intestinal loop which had suffered from ischemia, may induce, after a free interval, disordered transit or frank intestinal obstruction, sometimes peritonitis. This is always dangerous, especially in elderly patients. The authors report 5 cases which illustrate this danger, in daily surgery, and recall the rules for treatment of strangulated hernia.

[Duodenal cirsoid aneurysm treated by embolization(author's transl)].

A cirsoid aneurysm of the artery to the second part of the duodenum was demonstrated by arteriography in a 31 year old man who had had two severe unexplained bouts of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgical intervention, and in order to avoid duodenopancreatectomy, the malformation was treated by embolization of the gastroduodenal artery during the operation.
