[Necrotizing enterocolitis in an adult -- case report].

The adult necrotizing enterocolitis (ANEC) is a rare condition, frequently fatal, and characterized by a fulminant symptoms and segmental necrosis of the bowel. The authors performed repeated surgeries and small bowel resections on a patient classified to stage number three on Bell scale due to necrotizing enterocolitis. Pathological examination of the resected bowel showed intestinal necrosis without obstruction of mesenteric vessels.

[Our experience in Fournier's gangrene with severe septic shock].

Fournier's gangrene is a rare, rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis, which involves the genital area and perineum, progresses towards the thighs and abdominal wall through fascial plains. In our surgical department we treated seven patients with Fournier's gangrene between 2007 and 2011. Early diagnosis, immediate radical surgical debridement, necrosectomy, appropriate antibiotics and intensive care are all required and necessary for the successful treatment.

[Analysis of postoperative complications following acute surgery for colorectal cancer].

Our aim was to improve the outcome of emergency surgeries for colorectal cancer (CRC). Authors compared two periods: 2004-2006 and 2007-2011. Targeted cases were emergency admissions, in which the diagnosis of colorectal cancer is only revealed during work-up or during surgery.

[Myofibroblastoma of the lymph nodes].

We report a case of intranodal myofibroblastoma occurring in a lymph node of the left inguinal region of a 53 years old female. This tumor was first described 6 years ago and has not been yet documented in the Hungarian literature. This rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm of the lymph node occurs almost exclusively in the inguinal region.

[The diagnostic value of so-called "post-cholecystectomy bile duct dilatation"].

In 1706 gallstone operations the diameter of the common bile ducts was determined in 990 cases during telecholangiography using a so-called functional cholangiodiametry. The data of 213 postoperative determinations of the common bile duct diameters performed during the follow-up period did not support the existence of a postcholecystectomic compensatoric dilation of the common bile duct. Ultrasound and ERCP failed to find postoperative bile duct dilation in patients without complaints following cholecystectomy and in persons with complaints of extrabiliary origin.

[Topics in the surgical treatment of acute calculous cholecystitis].

A point is made in this paper in favour of early surgical action on cases of acute calculous cholecystitis, following an analysis of 140 patients who had undergone such operations through the past 13 years. Immediate surgery is a way to remove an obstructed inflammatory gallbladder even before severe complications can develop. Early cholecystectomy (within four days) was possible in 113 cases.
