Surgical aspects of multifocal involvement of the gastrointestinal tract in progressive systemic sclerosis.
An operative approach to the problem of progressive systemic scleroderma, affecting both the esophagus and duodenum, is demonstrated in the case of a 38-year-old woman severely incapacitated by protracted vomiting. Nissen's fundoplication, antrectomy and Billroth II gastroenterostomy were performed. The need for a comprehensive balanced surgical therapeutic approach in patients suffering from scleroderma is emphasized.

Spontaneous midesophageal rupture.
Spontaneous rupture of the esophagus is rare. To date, 17 such cases, including our patient, have been reported in the literature. We present a case of true spontaneous rupture that occurred during sleep. Because the correct diagnosis was made 36 h after the rupture, treatment consisted of surgical drainage only. The drainage was extrapleural, though a posterior mediastinal approach, thereby avoiding the complication of empyema. The paraesophageal abscess was repeatedly irrigated with povidone-iodine solution. The patient recovered after a long period--56 days--of hospitalization. The report includes a review of the signs and symptoms of esophageal perforation, the current mode of therapy, and some speculation on the pathogenesis of true spontaneous perforation.
