[Prevention of thrombosis. Surgical departments in Norway].

Routine perioperative thrombo-embolic prophylaxis was studied by means of a questionnaire to departments of abdominal, orthopedic, urological and gynecological surgery. 171 departments in university, central and county hospitals answered, giving a response rate of 92%. It was found that 90% of the departments in all hospital categories used routine prophylaxis. This practice was most frequent in orthopedics and least frequent in urology. Dextran was preferred in all three hospital categories. Central and county hospitals also applied heparin and heparin/dihydroergotamin. Heparin was always given as 5,000 IU subcutaneously twice daily. Heparin/dihydroergotamin was equally often given as 2,500 IU as 5,000 IU twice daily, irrespective of the kind of surgery. Indications of thrombo-embolic prophylaxis varied within each surgical speciality. The prophylaxis regimen was chosen mostly on medical grounds. The convenience of the nurses was seldom and economic differences only infrequently considered of importance for the choice of prophylaxis regimen.

[Skin closure. A prospective randomized study].

This prospective randomized study included 100 patients with inguinal hernia and 66 patients operated on for acute appendicitis. In half of each group the skin was closed with a continuous subcuticular resorbable suture, and in the other half with a monofilament nylon matress suture. The patients were followed up after three weeks and again after three months. There was no obvious difference in cosmetic result between the two methods of skin closure. In the patients with inguinal hernia or non-perforated appendicitis there was no increase in postoperative infection of the wound after subcuticular suture. In the case of perforated appendicitis there may have been an increase in infection of the wound after subcuticular suture. Continuous, subcuticular resorbable suture used on the right indications can give a good cosmetic result and few complications of the wound. Further more, a separate outpatient visit for removal of skin sutures or staples can be avoided.

A new intraperitoneal metastasis from thymoma.

Distant metastasis from thymoma is rare. A case with an intraperitoneal metastasis from a thymoma 14 years after removal of the primary tumor is reported. The metastasis was sited in the left hypochondrium and adherent to the spleen, but with no connection to the diaphragm or retroperitoneum. To our knowledge, this location of distant metastasis from thymoma has not been described previously. The malignant potential of thymoma is discussed, and the pattern of reported metastases is summarized.

Coracoid process transfer for acromioclavicular dislocation.

Seventeen patients with complete separation of the acromioclavicular joint were operated on acutely with transposition of the coracoid tip to the clavicle. All the patients were examined after a mean follow-up time of 7.5 years. Twelve patients had good function, 3 had slight pain in extreme positions, and 2 had poor function with pain at rest. Eleven patients had the screw removed, 2 of them because of deep infection. In 3 patients the coracoid tip fragmented during the operation. Two patients had an unsatisfying cosmetic result. As long as nonoperative treatment gives equal or better long-term functional results, we do not recommend this operation in acute dislocations.
