ABSTRACT
During 1986 to 1988 64 patients with the diagnosis acute medial hip fracture have been operated in the University Hospital (Charité) by hip endoprosthesis. Patients up to the age of 75 years have been treated by total hip endoprosthesis. Patients older than 75 years got a femoral head prosthesis. In 92.3% of the patients with femoral head prosthesis no complications were observed. In our hospital we prefer the implantation of the femoral head prosthesis in patients older than 75 years.

60 pancreatic pseudocysts are reported. 29 cystojejunostomies, 22 cystogastrostomies, 2 cystoduodenostomies and 7 external drainages were performed. Most favourable results could be recorded by cystojejunostomy. The total operative mortality was 8.3%, after cystojejunostomie 3.4%. Most dangerous complications were haemorrhage and peritonitis. In the follow up of internal operative drainage approximately 80% excellent or satisfactory results could be observed. Pancreatic pseudocysts lasting more than 6 weeks should be submit to surgical treatment. Cystojejunostomy is the most favourable procedure. External drainage is indicated in emergency or development of complications.
