[Radiation load of patients and radiation-exposed personnel in the endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreaticography].

Measurements of radiation in 54 patients and examiners during endoscopic-retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) were analyzed. The values of radiation were relatively low and were compared favorably with those of gastroenterologic x-ray diagnostics. With greater experience it can be lowered further. Dangerous exposition to radiation was not found in patient or in examiner. The values obtained are far below the maximum dose permitted by radiation legislation. The question of a danger from repeated examination is not important, on the contrary, due to minimal exposition, the frequency of ERCP can be increased.

[Duodenal reflux and gastritis after Billroth I gastric resection (author's transl)].

Endoscopic and biopsy studies were undertaken in 92 patients who had undergone partial gastric resection (end-to-end gastroduodenostomy, Billroth I) one to seven years previously. In addition, the amound of duodeno-gastric reflux was evaluated by measuring bromsulphalein excretion in gastric juice. Atrophic gastritis occurred in 36%, while superficial gastritis was noted in 49% of patients. The degree and severity of the inflammatory changes was most marked near the anastomosis. The severity of the duodenal gastric reflux was decisive in the development of the atrophic mucosal changes. There was no demonstrable relationship between the degree of mucosal changes and the interval since the operation.

[Endoscopic transpapillary cholangiography (author's transl)].

Endoscopic transpapillary Cholangiography is able to give valuable informations for indication and operative procedure in biliary diseases especially in obstructive jaundice. Indication for "blind" explorative laparotomy seems to become more rare as well as necessity for clearing situations of biliary tract by surgical preparation or X-ray-examinations as usually performed. If one is well trained in technical procedures and in interpretation of radiologic findings, very helpful diagnostic hints can be presented. In opposition to retrograde pancreaticography, endoscopic examination of the biliary tract can be propagated with more enthusism.

[Radiological and clinical aspects of resection of the cardia].

Following resection of the cardia, problems may arise during two phases; in these, clinical and radiological examination may be required. Immediately after the operation one is concerned particularly with checking the incision or the extent and localisation of suture abnormalities. In the late post-operative period the problems are different. In addition to a description of the anatomy at the proximal and distal ends of the stomach, it is necessary to estimate functional conditions, such as passage through the anastomosis and the pylorus, the reservoir function of the gastric remnant and gastro-oesophageal reflux. An important task is to demonstrate tumour recurrence. For this purpose endoscopic, biopsy and cytological examinations are required.

[Postoperative pancreatitis].

Incidence and extent of increased alpha-amylase concentration were examined in serum and urine following routine surgical intervention in the epigastrium. Only patients with non-specific clinical symptoms (n=49) and a control group who had undergone surgery for inguinal hernia (n=10) were included in the study. Patients previously subjected to gastric surgery (selective gastric vagotomy = 10, gastric resection according to Billroth I = 10) were significantly more often found to have results within a range usually considered pathological. Patients who had undergone surgery of the bile duct were markedly less affected. The diagnosis, based on the benefit of the hindsight, of a postoperative pancreatitis in cases where specific complaints and increased maylase concentration coincide does therefore not appear justified--particularly following gastric surgery. This becomes significant if a choice between various conservative treatments or relaparotomy is being considered.
