A case of strangulation of the entire small intestine caused by an internal incarcerated hernia is presented. At laparotomy the small intestine was severely discoloured, paralytic and the viability of the bowel was questionable. No resection was performed. At a second laparotomy 10 h later the intestine was hyperaemic and exhibited lively motor activity. Recovery was complete. The importance of prolonged conservative management in avoiding extensive resection is stressed.

Over eight years (1970-8) 1055 patients underwent operations for hernia or "major" varicose veins in a day-bed unit. Here, 608 were discharged home on the day of operation, 262 were transferred to a convalescent hospital for 48 hours, and 161 were retained in the acute ward as part of a controlled trial. Special emphasis was placed on selection and preadmission screening. Failure of planning was uncommon in that only 2.5% were detained in hospital and 1% had to be readmitted. About one-quarter of the patients had complications but these were generally trivial and were satisfactorily treated by the community nursing sisters or general practitioners, or both. Analysis of the total operations for hernia or varicose veins in the unit over the past 19 years shows that, whereas formerly all patients with these conditions were admitted to the main surgical ward, nowadays almost all are managed either by day care or in a five-day ward.

Three cases of thoracic renal ectopia are described. Remarkable is the case of an "acquired" congenital right diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek's herniation) with previously normally positioned kidneys. Classification is as follows: 1. real thoracic ectopia with normally developed closed diaphragm, 2. eventration of the diaphragm (relaxatio diaphragmatica), 3. diaphragmatic hernia: a) congenital diaphragmatic defects, b) acquired herniation (Bochdalek's). 4. traumatic rupture of the diaphragm with renal ectopia.

The case report of a 20 year old woman illustrates the course of blepharochalasis. This disease was defined as an entity by E. Fuchs in 1896. It is characterized by relapsong edematous tumefaction and increasing relaxation of the eye lids with atrophy of the skin, blepharophimosis and emergence of a pseudoepicanthus. Folding of the oral mucosa in the upper lip, the so-called double lip, euthyroid struma, and, in later stages, orbital fat hernia and prolapse of the lacrimal gland, are further facultative symptoms. Partially, late stages of the disease had been described as Ascher- or Laffer-Ascher-Syndrome. This syndrome is no separate entity.

The omphalocele is very often combined with congenital malformations and is primarely to be looked at as a medical and surgical disease. The radiological examination possibly can help to decrease the rate of mortality by disclosing the malformations. These very often consist of malformations, complicating ileus and Bochdalek's hernia. We present 23 cases with omphalocele with special regard to the congenital malformations, complications postoperatively and the causes of death.

The most common causes of respiratory distress in the newborn and the frequently rapidly changing pulmonary pattern in the follow up studies are presented. Various degrees of the hyaline membrane disease and bronchopulmonary dysplasia are demonstrated as well as the different changes of the pulmonary pattern in controlled and assisted ventilation, recurrent atelectasis, dystelectasis, emphysema, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. Chest film follow up series are demonstrated. The differential diagnosis includes pulmonary aspiration syndrome, the neonatal pneumonia and emergency cases in pediatric surgery (here an example of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia).

Perforation into the free peritoneum of ulcers of the neck of hiatal hernias is a rare complication. On the basis of one case, which would appear to be the third reported in the literature but the only one in which the special circumstances resulted in the diagnosis being made preoperatively, the authors propose a new therapeutic attitude based upon the physiopathology of ulcers of the neck, combining suturing and reduction of the hernia with anterior repositioning of the greater curvature of the stomach, mobilised according to Thal's technique, and thereby simultaneously producing an anterior hemi-valve.

Findings in this study correlated a low circulating gastrin level with an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter mechanism and abnormal reflux. Such reflux, in amounts causing esophagitis distally, was treated surgically by a mechanically simple method of fundoplication. The success of this reefing method of fundoplication was explained by using physiologically active sling fibers of the gastric fundus to augment the lower esophageal sphincter. Available gastrin was used more effectively in this manner. The high incidence of associated foregut diseases suggested an embryologic factor in the development of gastroesophageal reflux. The dilated hiatus and its attendant hernia had no apparent relationship to the development of reflux esophagitis. The term symptomatic sliding hiatal hernia, therefore, seemed to be a diagnostic and therapeutic misnomer.

Anal sphincter sclerosis, which leads to recurrent subileus and finally to the complete picture of ileus, is presented in relation to 6 of our own observations. Ileus conditions are triggered off by: 1. years of abuse of laxatives, 2. intraperitoneal adhesions supporting the tendency to ileus (postoperative hernia, soft abdominal wall, intestinal atony), 3. viscerovisceral reflexes initiated by other diseases (heart, lung, gallbladder, liver, kidney etc.), 4. chronic recurrent changes with irritation of the terminal organ itself. Women seem predestined for this disease. The existing subileus or ileus condition can be eliminated in all cases by stretching the sphincter and partial sphincterotomy, so that the patients could be spared a laparotomy.
