[Cryosclerosis. The forgotten endovenous cryoablation of the great saphenous vein. Mid-term results of a prospective comparative trial].

Introduction: Cryosclerosis was introduced by Milleret and Le Pivert in the 1980s.

Method: A prospective non-randomized comparative study has been performed on initial 96 patients. 48 patients were treated by cryosclerosis and the others received conventional stripping.

Which endovenous ablation method does offer a better long-term technical success in the treatment of the incompetent great saphenous vein? Review.

Objective: The aim of this review article was to evaluate the long-term technical success rates of the known endovenous ablation procedures in the treatment of the incompetence of the great saphenous vein.

Methods: A literature search was conducted in the PubMed-database until the 5 January 2016. All publications with four to five years follow-up were eligible.

The Histological Changes of the Great Saphenous Vein at 2 Years after Cryosclerosis.

Cryosclerosis was developed at the end of the last decade. It is the endovenous cryoablation of the great saphenous vein and has been forgotten before the era of the endovenous ablation techniques began. The caused histomorphological changes of the vein weren't described before, especially, years after the procedure.

The role of cryosurgery in the treatment of the incompetent great saphenous vein.

Our aim was to determine the place of cryosurgery in the treatment of the incompetence of the great saphenous vein. Primary end-point of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of cryostripping and cryosclerosis. Complications frequently related to saphenous vein stripping were analyzed secondary.

Giant appendix or an appendiceal mucocele? Case report of an 11-year-old child.

We present an 11-year-old male child with an enormous appendix that was regarded as an appendiceal mucocele. The disorder is very rare and usually appears in middle aged patients. It is a clinical diagnosis.

[Successfully operated ruptured gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm].

Introduction: Visceral real and pseudoaneurysms are the rarest aneurysms of the arterial system. The aneurysms of the duodeno-pancreatic arcade constitute only 2-3% of all aneurysms. Their frequency after pancreatitis can reach 10%.

Our experiences with saphenoperitoneal shunts in the treatment of intractable ascites.

Because of significant expenses and complication rates of traditional pumps (LeVeen, Denver, Agishi) used in the surgical treatment of refractory ascites a simple and cheap operative method has to be found. In saphenoperitoneal shunts the one-way flow is maintained by biologically given double saphenous valves. In our department 11 saphenoperitoneal shunts have been performed on 9 patients (2 female, 7 male) in the past one and a half years.

[The simultaneous occurrence of inguinal hernia and colorectal cancer--case reports].

Introduction: The simultaneous occurrence of inguinal hernia and colorectal cancer is rare, but it is well known by surgeons. We call attention to the synchronous diseases with the help of cases accumulating in our department and with the support of literature.

Case Reports: A 76-year-old male hernioplasty by Lichtenstein was performed on, and during the exploration because of ileus having developed in the postoperative period a stenosing rectum carcinoma was discovered.

[Experience with saphenous-peritoneal shunts in the treatment of intractable ascites].

Introduction: The price and complication rates of pump models applied in the treatment of intractable ascites are significantly high. The development of a more simple, cheaper technique--using the biologically given venous valves--the saphenoperitoneal shunts became essential.

Technique And Results: In authors' department 11 saphenoperitoneal shunts have been performed on 9 patients from 01.

[Cryosurgery and endoscopy in the treatment of varicose veins].

Multiplex wide incisions and often deforming scars following varicose surgery are out of date. Nowadays cryoprobes are used to remove epifascial varicose veins, while endoscopy is used to treat transfascial (perforating) venous insufficiency. We analyse the results of 1000 cryovaricectomies performed in the last 8 years.
