[Laparoscopic appendectomy].

The authors report their experience of 6 cases of appendicectomy using a laparoscopic route of which 5 were performed under local anesthesia and 1 under general anesthesia. The results indicate that this new technique is easy to perform and as rapid and safe as the traditional operation. The possibility of using local anesthesia, the lack of complications when operating on obese patients, the lower incidence of wound infections and rapid postoperative mobilisation all argue in favour of this alternative approach to conventional open surgery.

[Synchronous tumors of the colon].

Although rare, synchronous tumors of the colon represent an important clinical manifestation of cancer of the colon. The paper reports a study carried out in 437 patients with the aim of evaluating the incidence of synchronous tumours and identifying the most useful diagnostic tools for diagnosis. On the basis of the results obtained the authors conclude that the incidence of synchronous tumours of the colon ranges between 1-3% and that in comparison to other methods pancolonoscopy enables a complete diagnosis for a prophylactic approach to multiple tumours.

[Simultaneous bilateral primary lymphomatous tumors of the testis].

Among the malignant tumours of the gonads, primary lymphoma of the testis represents a rare pathology. It is even more rare to observe this pathology in a bilateral localisation. After a careful evaluation of the cases described in the literature, the authors report a case or primary synchronous and bilateral lymphoma of the testis in a 68-year-old patient; they examine the clinical data and diagnostic methods and analyse the surgical treatment. In conclusion the authors affirm that primary synchronous bilateral lymphoma of the testis represents a rare form of tumour which is burdened by a high mortality rate.
