ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of primary renal chondrosarcoma associated with subcapsular renal haematoma. The authors reviewed the four largest series of renal sarcomas reported in the literature and propose an analysis of the various clinical characteristics, complementary investigations and treatment modalities of this exceptional form of renal sarcoma.

Two cases of squamous carcinoma of the anus developing from condylomata acuminata are reported. The general characteristics of condylomata acuminata are reviewed: viral etiology due to HPV virus, histological appearance and role in the the genesis of certain cancers. The association of condylomata acuminata and cancer of the anus is more particularly studied in a review of the literature: etiology, anatomoclinical aspects, treatment and current state of knowledge concerning the oncogenic role of HPV virus at this site.

A recent wound of femoral vein with pronounced loss of substance was repaired using an autogenous internal jugular vein graft. The value of the use of this type of graft in wounds of large venous trunks with marked loss of substance in a potentially contaminated milieu is emphasized.

In repair of incisional hernias the authors use Dacron tulle material for less than peritoneal sac reinforcement prosthesis greater than (PSRP)--a method which prevents recurrences whether or not the abdominal wall is badly damaged. A biological glue (n-butyl-cyanoacrylate monomer) in many cases avoids direct or indirect suture of the patch). In practice, there are two types of PSRP. In one type, the gap in the abdominal wall is small and can be sutured, and the peritoneal Dacron tulle patch is a mere adjunct to parietal synthesis. In the other type, the medial, lateral or peripheral eventration is extensive or recurrent, and parietal synthesis is impossible. A piece of Dacron tulle of very large size is then inserted without any glue or transfixing sutures to help solve mechanical and pathophysiological problems.

A new method to evaluate and dilate pyloric stenosis in the presence of peptic ulcer is presented. The pylorus is explored by means of a probe (26 to 38 Ch) which is inserted orogastrically. This procedure is used in association with highly selective vagotomy (HSV). Healing of the ulcer and the pyloric stenosis was observed in 12 patients.

Wishing to help practitioners, who often are slightly puzzled by the technicalities of intestinal surgery, the authors offer short answers to the ten questions most frequently asked by colostomized patients, i.e.: where is my colostomy located? How was it made? Is there any possibility of passing motions through by natural anus? What does continent colostomy mean? What are the basic rules for the maintenance of colostomy? How to choose the colostomy bag? What to do in case of intolerance to the bag? Must I follow a restrictive diet? When can my colostomy be suppressed? Can I resume work with a colostomy? No effort should be spared to prevent a colostomized patient from becoming an invalid and to help him lead a normal life.

When they are terminoterminal, circular lower colorectal mechanical anastomoses involve certain risks due to the incongruence of the intestinal ends, to the difficulties encountered in reconstructing the rectal pouch and to ischaemia resulting from stripping of the rectal section. Terminolateral anastomoses between the colon and the anterior surface of the rectal stump are easier and safer.
