RESUMO
Early Experience with the Advanced Breast Biopsy Instrumentation System in a Multicentre Study In an Austrian multicentre trial between September 1998 and December 2001, 474 procedures were performed with the Advanced Breast Biopsy Instrumentation (ABBI), and 389 were entered in the protocol. For reasons of patient comfort, radiological accuracy and low complication rate, the stereotactic excision biopsy with the ABBI system is a useful alternative to 'open' biopsy of non-palpable breast lesions, although there are technical limitations. The question of the therapeutic option in breast cancer cannot be answered yet.

Two patients with symptoms of progressive obstructive jaundice, a history of vague pains in the right upper quadrant and laboratory evidence of biliary obstruction underwent laparotomy. A stone-free, but extremely thick-walled gallbladder was found in both patients. Intraoperative cholangiography showed diffusely-stenosed extrahepatic bile ducts suggestive of chronic inflammatory changes in the biliary system. The correct diagnosis was made only on histological examination, which revealed primary sclerosing cholangitis with secondary cholestatic changes of the liver. Postoperative treatment included long-time corticosteroid therapy. Both patients have remained jaundice-free for periods of one and two years, respectively, to date, but the eventual prognosis is poor. The diagnosis, which can be made only surgically, therapy and prognosis are discussed.

We performed from 1965 to 1977 516 accidental operations. In 38% and appendectomy, in 50% an operation at the biliary system and in 9% herniotomy was simultaneously performed.
