Surgical treatment of pericyst in liver hydatid cysts.

The results of the surgical treatment of the pericyst in 94 patients with liver hydatid cyst are analyzed. Hepatic resections were performed in 2 patients, subtotal pericystectomy in 2 patients, partial pericystectomy in 65 patients, resection of the cyst dome in 9 patients and pericystodigestivostomy in 16 patients. The postoperative complications were statistically significant in complicated cysts (p < 0.

Factors of prediction of immediate postoperative evolution in cancer of the colon.

A study carried out in 152 patients operated on for cancer of the colon showed that the early postoperative evolution of disease depends on the therapeutic method chosen according to the clinical stage of the tumor. The 31 deaths recorded in the first 30 postoperative days occurred mostly in the first week (45.1%) and were due either to hydro-electrolytic disturbances (69%) or to intraperitoneal septic complications (65%) with 0.

Influence of age on the surgical treatment of cancer of the colon.

The study of 152 patients with cancer of the colon (CC) showed that age represents a factor of risk in the evolution of disease having a decisive influence on the immediate and delayed results of the surgical treatment. Over two thirds of the cases with advanced clinical stages were detected in subjects over the age of 50. In young agers the evolution of CC was severe and metastases appeared early.

Immediate and delayed results in complicated cancer of the colon.

In 34 patients operated on in emergency for complications of cancer of the colon (CC) it was found that complications prevailed in stage III of disease and were mainly represented by occlusions which were more frequent in left colon cancer. Radical surgery proved preferable to the palliative one. The mean survival time in months after emergency surgery for complications of CC was longer for right colon localizations and after radical surgery.
