Surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism in the elderly patient.

The treatment of 11 elderly patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is described. All the patients underwent exploration of the neck and removal of a parathyroid adenoma, and the operation was well tolerated. After surgery, serum Ca concentrations returned to normal. The commonest symptoms in these elderly patients before operation included extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, mental disturbances, personality changes, severe depression, psychosomatic retardation and mild-to-severe dementia; all improved dramatically.

Laparoscopy in the prevention of unnecessary appendicectomies: a prospective study.

More than one-third of all appendicectomies are unnecessary. A study was directed towards reducing the misdiagnosis of appendicitis, thus preventing needless operations. Thirty-six women in the fertile age group and with a diagnosis of appendicitis were subjected to laparoscopy before surgery. All women had undergone a gynaecological examination to rule out disease of the female genitalia. As a result of the laparoscopy, surgery was cancelled in one-third of the cases, which were found to have acute gynaecological disease not requiring surgery.
