[Benign anastomotic strictures after oncologic rectal cancer surgery. Results of treatment with hydrostatic dilation].

Introduction: Benign anastomotic strictures after rectal cancer surgery are common and their treatment can vary from conservative measures to surgical resection.

Patients And Methods: Between March 2001 and August 2008, 422 patients with rectal cancer underwent anterior resection and 83.8% were treated with primary anastomosis.

[Ventral rectal sacropexy (colpo-perineal) in the treatment of rectal and rectogenital prolapse].

Introduction: Ventral sacral-rectopexy with mesh corrects rectal prolapse and minimises rectal dissection. Subsequent colpopexy corrects apical and posterior prolapses of the vagina. The combination of both procedures can lead to the simultaneous correction of pelvic organ prolapses (POP).

[Gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to heterotopic jejunal pancreas].

A case of heterotopic pancreas located in the small intestine is herewith presented. The 19-years male patient had been admitted three times since 1991 for an anemic syndrome secondary to melena. The origin of the hemorrhage was not determined with the studies performed (intestinal transit, opaque enema, esophagogastroscopy, colonoscopy and gammagraphy with technetium 99).

Hydatid cyst of the head of the pancreas with spontaneous fistula to the duodenum.

Primary pancreatic hydatidosis is exceptional. Only 12 cases have been reported in Spain up to 1982. In large series of patients with hydatidosis, pancreatic involvement occurs in 0.
