[Clinical considerations on primary malignant lymphomas of the stomach].

Starting from a critical revision of eight cases of primitive malignant gastric lymphoma that they had observed during the last four years in Surgical Clinic of University of Pavia, the AA. refer the notions in regard to this neoplastic form. After having discussed the problems of etiopathogenesis of lymphoma and the most characteristic clinical forms, the AA. describe the modern views of diagnosis and the therapy on the base of literature and their personal casistry. Outlined the necessity of a precocious diagnosis and the possibilities that gastroscopy with looked at biopsy affers, the AA., also on the base of their experience, show like selective therapy of primitive malignant gastric lymphoma, the surgical treatment with complememtary cyclic polichemioterapy.

[Traumatic hernias of the right hemidiaphragm].

Four cases of right traumatic diaphragmatic hernia are reported. The original aspect of this type of lesion is that herniation of abdominal viscera into the chest is usually delayed due to the liver temporary plugging of the diaphragmatic defect. Diagnostic importance of diaphragm elevation combined with mediastinal push-back is stressed, as well as the value of x-ray examination following pneumoperitoneum. Reduction of the hernia and repair of the diaphragmatic defect can easily be accomplished by abdominal route alone, instead by a transthoracic approach usually preferred by surgeons in delayed presentation, particularly in those patients with marked limitation of pulmonary reserve.

[Elastic ligature in the treatment of hemorrhoids (author's transl)].

The authors report their experience with 57 patients suffering from first, second, and third-degree hemorrhoids. Elastic ligature of internal hemorrhoid nodules was done ambulatorily with good results and no important complications. From these results, and considering the ease of the procedure, the authors agree with other experts that this method of treating hemorrhoids may become more and more popular.

[Internal biliary drainage in benign diseases of the extrahepatic bile ducts].

Through analysis of a fairly large series of cases treated by internal biliary drainage for non-neoplastic disorders of the terminal choledochus and papilla (72 cases of choledochal anastomosis, mostly to the duodenum; 238 cases of surgery of the Oddi sphincter), the authors present a remarkable accurate picture of the indications for this kind of surgery and of the immediate and long-term results obtained with it. Their collected observations also provide an opportunity for comparison with published reports from other quarters; in particular, the authors offer a detailed discussion of the relative advantages and limitations of the two main procedures in this category, namely papillosphincterotomy and choledocoduodenal derivation. From their own experience and in good agreement with current dominant opinion, they conclude by recommending the last-named procedure as the most rewarding, provided that the indications be correct and the operation be done with the necessary technical accuracy.
