[Clinical study of stage a prostatic cancer detected incidentally by transurethral resection of the prostate].

Transurethral resection of the prostate was performed on 584 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia between April 2001 and July 2007. Pathological examinations revealed prostatic cancer in 30 (5.1%) of them.

Treatment of congenital dilatation of the choledochus- reconstruction of the bile duct after resection of the dilated choledochus.

Reconstruction of the way of bile flow was attempted in 21 cases with the resection of the dilated bile duct, and the post-operative courses were observed over a long period. It was found that ascending cholangitis is seldom caused by the hepaticoduodenostomy. It is important, when hepaticoduodenostomy is performed, that the sound section of the wall of the bile duct without stenosis in the hepatic side should be selected.

Use of athrombogenic tubing for perfusion rewarming following surface-induced deep hypothermia.

A method of heparinless, oxygenatorless, left heart bypass perfusion rewarming following surface hypothermia, with the use of a closed circuit with 130 ml. prime volume including heat exchanger, has been devised. The use of polyurethane-polyvinyl-graphite (PPG)-coated tubing has previously been reported.
