Abdominal colpopexy for complete prolapse of the vagina.

A comparative study of abdominal colpopexy using rectus fascia and sacral fixation for the treatment of prolapsed vagina following hysterectomy was performed. The abdominal approach yields better results than the vaginal route. Fixation of the vaginal vault using a Dacron prosthesis is more rational and was the method of choice, resulting in a complete cure in 10 of 11 patients. The Brady technique failed in 25% of cases.

[Gastroduodenal, ileocolic and perianal Crohn's disease].

The authors present a case of Crohn's disease that initially showed common localisations, and later a rare gastro-duodenal involvement. When the definitive diagnosis of the latter was reached there were already signs of obstruction at the exit of the stomach. Treatment with Prednisolone I.M. and Omeprazole was not successful, and surgery was necessary as a last recourse to resolve the obstruction. A theoretic revision of the main clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of this rare from of involvement of Crohn's disease is also presented.
