[Bronchogenic carcinoma (personal observations)]. / I carcinomi broncogeni (osservazioni personali).

The authors report the results achieved in the treatment of 62 patients with pulmonary cancer "non-microcytoma". The survival rate was 20.9% at 5 years (actuarial). The best prognosis is for patients with epidermoid cancer: 35.5%. The authors emphasize the importance of the exact stage of the neoplasm and the evaluation of the postoperative cardiopulmonary functional adaptation in the prognostic evaluation of resection for pulmonary carcinoma.

[Transduodenal papillosphincterotomy. Remarks on 138 cases (1975-1982)]. / La papillosfinterotomia transduodenale. Rilievi su 138 interventi (1975-1982).

Transduodenal papillosphincterotomy, largely performed since many years, is still controversial. The retrospective analysis of 138 cases allows a discussion about its indications and some important details of surgical technique. Particularly, the authors report a relative low incidence of serious complications, with peculiar regard to postsurgical acute pancreatitis, and satisfactory long-term results (follow-up ranging from one to eight years) in the 95,2% of cases.
