[The risk of the occurrence of polyps and diverticulosis of the large intestine in patients with the irritable bowel syndrome].

A significant correlation between development of colonic polyps and long-lasting irritable colon syndrome was established. However, within the time interval studied (13-15 years), polyps which were mostly true adenomas did not turn malignant.

[Hyperplastic changes in the mucosa in colon cancer].

67 segments of rectum and sigmoid removed surgically because of carcinoma were examined: the surface of intestinal mucosa stained with methylene-blue was studied in order to determine the number and localization of focal changes in the macroscopically unchanged areas. Colon microscopy was performed clinically in 24 patients with carcinoma of the rectum and in 24 control individuals. 28 hyperplastic polyps and 1037 microscopic hyperplastic foci were found in operative material.

[Complex evaluation of the healing of intestinal anastomoses in the early postoperative period].

Eighty-six patients were subjected to complex examination in the immediate postoperative period to check the condition of intestinal anastomoses. In 58 (67.4%) patients inflammation in the zone of the anastomosis was found to be negligible and produced no specific clinical manifestations; 28 (32.

[Healing of the anastomoses in restorative-reconstructive surgery of the large intestine].

An analysis of healing the intestinal anastomoses in 52 patients after restorative-reconstructive operations on the colon is presented. In 36.5% of the cases a complicated course of the early postoperative period was observed: anastomositis--in 28.
