[The diagnosis and treatment of benign tumors of the subdiaphragmatic digestive tract]. / Diagnosticul si tratamentul tumorilor benigne ale tubului digestiv subdiafragmatic.

One hundred twenty-two benign tumors of subdiaphragmatic digestive tract admitted in the interval 1975-1988 at the III-rd Surgical Clinic of Iasi are reported. Out of these patients 120 required surgical treatment, the remainder of 2 being treated conservatively (diffuse intestinal angiomatosis, Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome). The clinical evolution being atypical, the surgical intervention was required, in most of the cases, due to hemorrhagic and occlusive complications. Histologically, the polyps and schwannomas were prevalent. The diagnostic difficulties, especially in the cases with jejuno-ileal localization, are mentioned.

[Antireflux surgery in the treatment of peptic esophagitis]. / Operatiile antireflux în tratamentul esofagitelor peptice.

This paper deals with the outcome of the various "antireflux" surgical procedures performed in 21 patients having esophagitis. Immediate and long-lasting results are better for those methods which restore the gastroesophageal competence: Hill's operation (4) and Nissen's fundoplication (3). The participation of the stomach in producing reflux is stressed and is emphasized the necessity to treat the gastric lesions simultaneously. The duodenal diversion following Harrington procedure offers good results with minimal surgical risk in some particular cases.
