Chronic cholecystitis subjected to cholecystectomy in chronic salmonellosis

In this study the presence of Salmonilla faecal carriers in 30 cases of chronic cholecystitis, 25 chronic calcular and 5 chronic non calcular, subjected to cholecystectomy, was evaluated. All the patients had history suggestive of having typhoid before the operation which was confirmed by repeated stool examination. Stool cultures as well as bile and gall bladder tissue cultures gave negative results for salmonilla isolation. This may be due to the fact that faecal carrier state is much less common than the chronic urinary carriers of salmonilla. Another factor is that chronic cholecystitis is more common than chronic salmonilla faecal carriers

results of total excision and simple incision and drainage of cervical abscess

The present study included 30 patients with cervical tuberculous abscess. 20 patients were females and 10 patients were males, whose age ranged between 15-35 years. All of them subjected to full history, clinical examination and specific investigations for tuberculosis, 20 of them subjected to total excision of cervical abscess and 10 patients were underwent incision and drainage. For both groups chemotherapy was given. This study demonstrated that total excisions of tuberculous cervical abscess and infected lymph node can be done safely as primary procedure in treatment of cervical tuberculous abscess

Single layer anastomosis in the gastrointestinal tract

A total of 66 single layer gastrointestinal anastomosis were made in 58 patients during 3-year period. Clinical diagnosis of leakage was discovered in two cases [3%]; one was gastroduodenostomy and the other was cholecystojejunostomy, one of them died from intraperitoneal sepsis and carcer cachexia and the other was managed by the conversion of gastroduodenostomy into gastrojejunostomy. Single layer appositional gastrointestinal anastomosis are simple, safe and economic
