[Early results of the surgical management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gist)--the experience of the 3rd surgical unit].

Unlabelled: This study provides a clinical and paraclinical algorithm of assessment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), with the possibilities and limits of their current management. It is focused on defining an optimal imaging and anatomoclinic diagnosis protocol. In the absence of specific algorithm of surgical management, the study proposes an evaluation of possible histologic diagnosis and the indication for surgery, and the assessing the immediate results of thesurgical treatment.

[Amyand hernia--a rare anatomic and clinical entity diagnosed intraoperatively].

The Amyand hernia is an uncommon variant of the inguinal hernia, rarely recognised before the surgical treatment because of the confusion with a strangled hernia. In spite of this, the clinical presentation seems to follow a well determined pathway, so it is possible to state that the uncorrect diagnosis is to be attributed to the ignorance of this variant of hernia. We present two consecutive case reports of acute appendicitis founded in an inguinal hernia sac.

[Surgical therapeutic strategy in vital risk polytrauma with multiple organ injuries, case report].

The medical interest for trauma pathology is incresing, due to the gravity of the given injuries. The surgical therapeutic strategy used is directly related to the localization and to the type of the trauma. The supplementary lesions and their vital risk also matter.

[The diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in hepatic hydatid cyst].

The paper is based on 213 surgical interventions for hepatic hydatid cyst. The importance of monography in the early diagnosis, detection of multiple sites and postoperative follow-up of the cases suspected of recurrence is underlined.
