Spinal Gliomas

✓ The authors report the late results of surgical treatment of 129 intramedullary gliomas (48 ependymomas, 53 astrocytomas, 13 spongioblastomas, five glioblastomas, one oligodendroglioma, and nine others), with follow-up periods ranging from 1 to 27 years. The value of surgical treatment is considered in relation to the postoperative results.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of subcostal incisional hernia repair using polypropylene mesh, the technical aspects of musculo-aponeurotic reconstruction, routine fixation of supra-aponeurotic mesh and follow-up for five years.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study that assessed 24 patients undergoing subcostal incisional hernia repair with use of polypropylene mesh; 15 patients (62.5%) were female; ages ranged from 33 to 82, and 79.1% had comorbidities.RESULTS: Early complications: three cases (12.5%) of wound infection, three cases (12.5%) of seroma, one case (4.1%) of hematoma; and one case (4.1%) of wound dehiscence. Late complications occurred in one case (4.1%) of hernia recurrence attributed to technical failure in the fixation of the mesh and in one case (4.1%) of chronic pain. There were no cases of exposure or rejection of the mesh.CONCLUSION: The subcostal incisional hernia, though not very relevant, requires adequate surgical treatment. Its surgical correction involves rebuilding the muscle-aponeurotic defect, supra-aponeurotic fixation of polypropylene mesh, with less complexity and lower rates of complications and recurrences.

Rudberg C, Johansson H, ÅÅ G, Tuvemo T, Karlsson FA. Graves' disease in children and adolescents. Late results of surgical treatment. Eur J Endocrinol 1996;134:710–5. ISSN0804–4643 All children and adolescents with Graves' disease in the county of Uppsala (catchment area population 250000) treated between 1970 and 1994 were evaluated in a retrospective study. The material comprised 31 patients with a mean age of 11 years (range 4–16), 29 (94%) of whom were girls, and four (13%) of the patients had Down's syndrome. Treatment was primarily conservative and surgery was considered if prolonged medical treatment failed. Lasting remission after antithyroid drug therapy (median 6.5 years; range 4.5–8 years) was noted in 6/31 patients (19%), three (10%) of whom subsequently developed hypothyroidism. Twenty-four of the remaining patients (77%) ultimately underwent subtotal (N=20) or total thyroidectomy (N=4) after experiencing one or more episodes of recurrent hyperthyroidism during medical treatment (median 6 years; range 0.5–11 years). After surgery one patient developed permanent hypocalcemia requiring low-dose vitamin D supplementation. During a postoperative follow-up period of 12.2 years (median: range 1–17 years), there were two cases of recurrent thyrotoxicosis, 1 and 10 years after surgery. The results underline that gender and Down's syndrome are risk factors of juvenile Graves' disease and that the disorder often is difficult to control by long-term medical therapy. In such cases thyroid surgery offers a safe and prompt reversal of the thyrotoxicosis. A proportion of the patients may ultimately develop hypothyroidism, substantiating a need for long-term follow-up of persons afflicted with Graves' disease early in life.

Aim. To analyze the long-term results of the designed method for the open epiphysis reduction in patients with severe unstable forms of juvenile femoral head epiphysiolysis. Methods. The article describes the method of surgical treatment of severe forms of unstable juvenile femoral head epiphysiolysis and long-term outcomes in 21 patients. The indications for the method were the unstable form of juvenile femoral head epiphysiolysis and slipped capital femoral epiphysis with a slip angle of more than 40 degrees. The age of patients at time of treatment ranged from 11 to 16 years, follow-up period - from 2 to 15 years. Five patients underwent a comprehensive biomechanical study within one year after surgery. Results. The early and late results of the femoral head epiphysis open reduction were analyzed. Positive results were obtained in 19 cases (good results in 17, satisfactory in 2). The complication rate was 14.3% and included 3 cases of avascular femoral head necrosis, no cases of chondrolysis were revealed. According to biomechanical examination data performed in five patients 1 year after the surgery, almost complete functional recovery of the musculoskeletal system was revealed. Conclusion. Analysis of the results showed that being properly executed the open reduction of the femoral head with a corrective femoral neck osteotomy allowed to restore normal anatomic proportions and function of the affected joint, positive result was maintained for the entire follow-up period.

Introduction. Despite progress in the technical approach to aneurysms, inflammatory aortic aneurysms (IAA) in particular present the surgical team with a unique challenge. This retrospective study investigates immediate and late results after surgical treatment of IAA. Patients and Method. Fifteen cases of IAA among 520 aneurysmectomies of the abdominal aorta were operated during the period 1986-1995. All the patients were males of a mean age of 66 years. Diagnosis was established on preoperative CT-Scan, gross appearance at surgery and histologically. CT scanning could detect the IAA in 13 of 15 cases. In 2 cases MRI was diagnostic. Surgical treatment using the inlay method, constitutes the method of choice due to restricted dissection, as it reduces the possibility of iatrogenic injuries. Results. None of the patients died during the first 30 postoperative days. One patient died at the age of 78, 40 days after the operative procedure, due to a cerebral episode. Four to 120 months later 3 patients had also died from cause unrelated to the operation and one more patient was lost on follow-up. The remaining 10 patients were free of symptoms without any progression of the fibrotic process in the CT scanning. We observed a total regression in 7 and partial regression in 3 patients without detecting any inflammatory findings or renal failure. Conclusion. IAA's are rare. CT and/or MRI establish the diagnosis preoperatively and contribute to the surgical program with immediate and late results equal to those found in arteriosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta.

Abstract Here, we report surgical treatment of a patient presenting with pancreatic metastasis (MTS) of renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) 11 years after nephrectomy. RCC is one of few cancers that metastasise in pancreas. Jaundice, abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding can develop; however, asymptomatic MTS can be discovered by follow-up after removal of the primary tumour. The patient, 67-year-old female was radiologically diagnosed with a clinically silent mass in the pancreatic body and underwent distal pancreatic resection. The postoperative period was smooth. Four months after the surgery, there were no signs of disease progression.
