[Surgical treatment of patients with paraesophageal and mixed hiatal hernias].

In 1948-1990 the authors operated 112 patients with paraoesophageal and mixed hiatus hernias. 100 patients operated in 1988 were followed up on a long-term basis. Gastroesophageal reflux was recorded before operation in 52%, haemorrhage in 18%, an ulcer in the neck in 7% an incarceration and obstruction in 9%. Before the onset of the seventies hiatorrhaphy and gastropexy were performed. During check-up examinations in these patients relapses were recorded in 47%, reflux in 43%, subjective complaints in 26%. This made the authors change the surgical procedure and in subsequent years they performed hiatorrhaphy, fundoplication, fundophrenopexy and anterior gastropexy. The incidence of relapses of hernia during check-up examinations declined to 21%, of gastroesophageal reflux to 9% and subjective complaints to 10%. The follow-up period varied between 1 and 19 years. The surgical lethality was 2%.

[Long-term follow-up of patients with diffuse colonic polyps].

During the years from 1968 to 1984, at the First Department of Surgery in Olomouc, 10 patients with diffuse polyposis of the colon were treated. In 5 of them, a familial occurrence of polyposis was dealt with. In three of them, malignity developed. In five unfamilial polyposes, malignity occurred only once. In one patient, the occurrence of malignity was found present immediately with the first manifestation of the disease. In the other patients, it was after an interval of 3 to 17 years after the onset of the disease. Three patients died from generalization of the malignant process. In two of them, carcinoma developed in the remaining part of the colon, once after previous hemicolectomy and once after colectomy. One patient with an advanced disease died one year after proctocolectomy. Two other operated on patients survive after proctocolectomy 12 and 13 years. The other patients who had been operated on before the development of malignity are healthy. The choice of an adequate radicalintervention is of importance. Optimal is the performance of colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis and the regular endoscopic and bioptic follow-up of the stump of the intestine. When proctocolectomy is necessary, it is of advantage to apply Kock's continent ileostomy.

The features of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.

Features of 10 patients with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy are described. Seven patients suffered from lung disease. Joint symptoms preceded the symptoms of primary disease in four cases. Symmetrical periosteal new bone formation was present in all patients. The theories of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy pathogenesis are discussed.

[Surgical treatment of patients with paraesophageal and mixed hiatal hernias].

During the years from 1948-90, we operated on 112 patients with paraesophageal and mixed hiatal hernias. One hundred patients who had been operated on up to the year 1988 were followed up over a long period. Preoperatively gastroesophageal reflux occurred in 52%, hemorrhage in 18%, riding ulcer in 7%, and incarceration and obstruction in 9%. Up to the beginning of the seventies, hiatoraphy and gastropexy were carried out. In these patients, the checking showed the occurrence of the relapse of hernias in 47%, reflux in 43% and subjective complaints in 26%. This finding induced us to change the surgical procedure and, in the following years, we performed hiatoraphy, fundoplicatio, fundophrenopexy and anterior gastropexy. The checking showed a decrease in the occurrence of the relapse of hernias to 21%, gastroesophageal reflux to 9% and subjective complaints to 10%. The period of the follow-up ranged from 1 to 19 years. The operative letality was 3%.

Oesophageal diverticula.

The classification and etiopathogenesis of oesophageal diverticula is discussed, based on the experience with the treatment of 91 (68 Zenker's, 7 parabronchial, and 16 epiphrenic) diverticulectomies performed at the First and Second Departments of Surgery in Olomouc from 1948 to 1987. The tactics and technique of surgical management and its results in the single groups of diseases are analyzed in detail. Parapharyngeal diverticula represent typical true diverticula associated with hypertonia of the upper oesophageal sphincter. No causal relationship could be proved to exist between the origin of this diverticulum and the gastrooesophageal reflux. Thoracic diverticula are probably rather of congenital than traction origin. Epiphrenic diverticula arise most often from hypertonia of the lower oesophageal sphincter. They can also be of congenital origin. Traction etiology could be observed in the presence of a leiomyoma in the diverticulum. The surgical management of Zenker's diverticulum consists in the excision of the diverticulum and cricopharyngeal myotomy. Excision of parabronchial diverticulum is seldom indicated for causing little discomfort, as a rule only when it is very large. Epiphrenic diverticula are usually associated with hypertonia of the lower oesophageal sphincter. In such cases, myotomy after Heller is performed and, as a rule, the diverticulum is excised.

[Report of experiences in the surgical treatment of functional disorders of the esophagus].

Operations were performed on 1,275 patients for various oesophageal disorders at the First Surgical Department of Olomouc University, between 1948 and 1985. Most of these functional disorders were of benign nature, including simple or complicated reflux disease of the oesophagus, achalasia of the cardia, para-oesophageal and mixed hiatus hernia, and diverticulum. The group of these benign cases included 826 patients. Their lethality amounted to 2.8 percent. Surgical techniques and tactical approaches to various types of functional disorders of the oesophagus are described in some detail. Also reported are lethality, complications, and long-time results.
