        Carotid body tumor is a rare tumor of obscure origin, usually benign, and commonly present as a non-painful cervical mass. Resection is the treatment of choice. When the tumor is very adherent to the carotid artery, it may be necessary to also resect the artery and to reconstruct the arterial continuity using a saphenous or synthetic interposition graft. The most common complication of surgery is damage to the cranial nerves in the vicinity of the artery. We present 8 patients with carotid body tumor who underwent surgery in our department in 1996-1999. Two had a large tumor penetrating the intima which mandated resection of the involved carotid artery and a saphenous interposition graft reconstruction. Our experience with resection of carotid body tumors is detailed, with emphasis on precautions taken to prevent damage to the adjacent cranial nerves.

        Surgery remains the only curative approach to cholangiocarcinoma. Despite operative difficulties concerning tumor location, vascular involvement or hepatic invasion curative resection (i.e. achievement of tumor free margins) carries good survival rates and is associated with low morbidity and mortality. Our experience with 31 patients with cholangiocarcinoma operated during the years 1993-1999 is presented.

        Twenty-five patients were found to have hilar cholangiocarcinoma, 3 carcinoma of mid-choledochus and 3 distal cholangiocarcinoma. All patients were evaluated by a diagnostic protocol including laparoscopy and laparoscopic ultrasound. Surgery consisted of local resection of the tumor with Roux en Y hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction. Three patients had concomitant hepatic resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma while 3 patients had pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in all patients. Curative resection was achieved in 19 patients and palliative resection (microscopically involved resected margins) in 12. One patient died at 60 days postop (3.5% mortality). Postoperative complications included cholangitis occuring in 10 patients who were referred with biliary drains, intraabdominal abscess (2 patients) and biliary leakage (1 patient) all treated conservatively.

        Overall survival rate was 82% at one year, 73% at two years and 45% at 5 years. When comparing curative resection with palliative resection, survival rates were 92% versus 71% for 1 year, 72% versus 50% for 2 year and 57% versus 14% for 5 years.

        Selection of patients using Laparoscopic Ultrasound combined with aggressive surgical approach enable curative or palliative resection 15 the only treatment modality which is significantly improved survival.

        The age distribution of a given national population is of utmost importance when dealing with public health and analyzing the use of various national health facilities. This is based on the totally different use of health sources by different age groups. Despite continuous prolongation of life expectancy and the related aging of the western hospitalized population the sub-group of patients over 100 year old of age is unusual demographically and accounts for only a very small portion of the total number of patients hospitalized in surgical wards. During the 5 year experience between 1995 and 2000 seventeen such patients were admitted to our surgical departments. Eight of those underwent 11 operations with zero peri-operative mortality and no significant complications. These 11 operations in this elderly population are the basis of our report.

        סרטן הערמונית הוא המחלה הממארת השכיחה ביותר בגברים והיארעותה מגיעה לכדי 900 חולים חדשים לכל 100,000 לשנה. איבחון מוקדם של המחלה בשלב בו השאת מוגבלת לבלוטת הערמונית, מאפשר ריפוי מלא בחלק ניכר מן החולים. האפשרויות הטיפוליות כוללות כריתת ערמונית רדיקלית, טיפול קרינתי והקפאה קריוגנית.

        בניתוחים קריוגניים (נ"ק), מבוצעת הקפאת השאת בתוך הגוף על ידי החדרת גלאי לאיבר המטרה והשראת טמפרטורה נמוכה קיצונית בסביבות 180 – מ"צ. כדור הקרח הנוצר סביב הגלאי כולל בתוכו את ריקמת המטרה, וחשיפתה לטמפרטורה נמוכה קוטלת כל ריקמה ביולוגית. כיום, מהווים נ"ק אפשרות טיפולית מקובלת בחולים בסרטן הערמונית, והפעולה קיבלה את אישור מינהל המזון והתרופות בארה"ב (FDA). בסקירתנו, נדון הניסיון העולמי בנ"ק כטיפול בלוקים בסרטן הערמונית.

        מלאנומה ממארת של העור (ממ"ע) היא שאת ששיעור היארעותה עולה בקצב מהיר בעולם כולו והיא מהווה אתגר טיפולי נרחב. כיום, הניתוח הוא הטיפול העיקרי בממ"ע, ואם השאת מאובחנת ומטופלת בשלב מוקדם, לפני חדירה עמוקה לשיכב הדרמיס, היפגעות קישיות לימפה והתהוות גרורות מרוחקות, הרי שסיכויי ההישרדות גבוהים.

        ממ"ע באזור ראש-צוואר המתהווה בשכיחות של כ-20% מתוך כלל החולים במלאנומה ממארת, שונה במספר מובנים מאשר באזורים אחרים בגוף: כריתה נרחבת של השאת מוגבלת בגודלה עקב המיקום האנטומי באזור ראש-צוואר, הניקוז הלימפטי עשיר ביותר, ההשלכות האסתטיות עלולות להיות מרחיקות לכת וההשפעות התיפקודיות יכולות להיות בלתי הפיכות.

        ממ"ע באזור ראש-צוואר מתרחשת בשכיחות שווה בנשים ובגברים. השאת ממוקדת בעיקר בפנים, ובשכיחות יורדת באזור הצוואר, הקרקפת והאוזניים.

        קיימים מספר גורמי סיכון להתהוות מלאנומה ממארת בכל אזורי הגוף, ביניהם אנשים עם שומות מלאנוציטיות מרובות, שומה מלידה גדולה בקוטר מעל 20 ס"מ (giant congenital nevi), שומה דיספלסטית (dysplastic nevi) בעלי עור, עיניים ושיער בהירים עם נטייה להיכוות לאחר חשיפה קצרה לקרני השמש, בעלי עור עם נמשים, אנשים שנחשפו רבות לקרני השמש במהלך חייהם, אנשים בעשור החמישי לחייהם ואילך, אנמנזה משפחתית של מלאנומה ממארת המגבירה את הסיכון ללקות במחלה בשיעור של פי 2-8, אנמנזה של סרטני עור בעבר ואנשים עם דיכוי המערכת החיסונית. הסיכון במהלך החיים להתהוות מלאנומה ממארת בפעם השנה הוא 1%-8%.

        Resection presents the only possible cure for pancreatic cancer. An aggressive surgical approach may extend the limits of resection and offer cure for more patients. 37 women and 28 men, mean age 67 years (range 33-84) with focal lesions underwent pancreatic resection (1993-1999). Cancer of the pancreatic head was found in 45, in the ampulla in 4 and in the body or tail in 16. There was a tumor larger than 5 cm in 9, vascular involvement in 8, and a combination of both in 6.

        All were evaluated prior to exploration by standard imaging techniques and 44 by laparoscopic ultrasound. 42 underwent pancreatico-duodenectomy, 16 distal subtotal pancreatectomy and 3 local excision of an ampullary tumor. Benign lesions were found in 8 (focal pancreatitis in 4 and a serous cystic lesion in 4).

        Curative resection (microscopically negative margins, negative lymph nodes) was achieved in 44. 2 died 1-2 months after operation of septic complications (2% operative mortality). The most frequent complication (in 8) was pancreatic fistula. Additional complications included anastomotic-line bleeding (3), intra-abdominal abscess (2), and 1 developed portal vein thrombosis (treated surgically).

        1- and 2-year survival in those after curative pancreatic resection was 81% and 55% respectively. 2-year survival in those after palliative resection (positive resection margins or positive lymph nodes) was 50% and 11%, respectively.

        After proper selection of those in whom it is possible to perform curative resection, regardless of size or vascular involvement, an aggressive surgical approach is justified.

        Recent advances in optics, video systems and endoscopic operating instruments have led to increasing application of thoracoscopic surgery, as it has become easier to perform and more accurate.

        We performed 586 video-assisted thoracic surgical procedures for diagnosis and treatment (May 1992-Dec. 1998) 127 were for diagnostic thoracoscopy and 79 for pleurodesis. 380 cases of operative thoracoscopy included pulmonary wedge resection (for interstitial lung disease, benign and malignant pulmonary tumors and pulmonary metastases) bullectomy, management of empyema, pleural tumor biopsy, thoracic sympathectomy, pericardial window formation, thoracic spinal procedures and resection of posterior mediastinal cysts. Recently we have had good experience in evacuating blood and blood clots from the thorax which accumulated after cardiac and thoracic surgery.

        Patients were placed in the lateral thoracotomy position and were ventilated with a double-lumen endotracheal tube, enabling collapse of the operated lung. The operating approach was through 1-3 thoracic ports. Mean operation time was 55 minutes, chest-tubes remained for 2.2 days (mean) and mean hospitalization was 3.3 days. There were no wound infections or significant postoperative complications. 5 patients had air leaks longer than 7 days; none required further surgical intervention.

        There was intercostal neuralgia and Horner's syndrome after thoracic sympathectomy (1 each) In cases in which localizing the parenchymal lesion was difficult, the lung was palpated directly by inserting a finger through a small incision or a mini-thoracotomy. Conversion to thoracotomy was performed when primary malignancy of lung was diagnosed by frozen section. Only 2 patients had thoracotomy for uncontrolled bleeding. Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique with very low morbidity and high diagnostic accuracy. Postoperative recovery is brief and uneventful.

        Myxomatous mitral valve disease is now the most common cause of mitral regurgitation in the western world. Repair of the leaking valve has become standard surgical procedure during the past 2 decades. Between 1993-1999 we performed 113 repairs of the mitral valve. In 25 patients the etiology was myxomatous degeneration (no mortality). Long-term clinical results depend on patients' functional class at surgery. Based on this fact, and the good surgical results, it is recommended to refer such patients even with severe mitral incompetence for surgery at an early stage, even if symptoms are minimal.

        Surgery for Blepharoptosis in Muscular Dystrophy

        In some muscular dystrophies there is ocular involvement characterized by blepharoptosis and ophthalmoplegia. These conditions occur in chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, mitochondrial myopathy, myotonic dystrophy, and ocular myasthenia, among others. Although they differ in their systemic clinical manifestations and in genetic inheritance, ocular involvement is common to all of them. Manifestations include bilateral progressive blepharoptosis with or without extraocular muscle malfunction.

        During surgical repair of the ptotic eyelid, consideration must be given to eyeball movements, in addition to maximal eyelid elevation, and to avoiding overcorrection and consequent corneal overexposure, leading to dryness and visual impairment. With these muscular dystrophic disorders, resection of the levator muscle or blepharoplasty alone does not suffice. Follow-up shows that most patients need a secondary repair after a short while. Operative correction uses a frontalis sling for eyelid elevation and support.

        A series of 8 patients with these diseases, operated on by various surgical techniques during the past 7 years, is presented.

        Acrylate glues used in a childrens' day care unit to close small surgical wounds were compared. In 157 children, aged 12 weeks to 3.7 years, either Histoacryl or Dermabond was used (respectively, H: Ethicon Inc., Johnson & Johnson, NJ or D: Dermabond, Braun Surgical Gmbh, Melsungen, Germany). Operations were for inguinal hernia (110 cases), hydrocele (25), undescended testis (16), umbilical hernia (13) and funiculocele (3).

        1 week after surgery the wounds were evaluated in terms of integrity of closure, redness or infection, need for antibiotics, wound granuloma, and parental satisfaction with instructions and actual method of wound caring. 3 months after surgery the wound/scar was reexamined.

        The margins of the wounds were separated partially or completely in 8 of 85 in group H (9.4%) while in the D group, 2 wounds (2.4%) had partially opened (p<0.05). There were no differences between the glues with regard to wound infection or cosmetic results. Parental satisfaction was higher with D (96%) than H (82%) but the difference was not statistically significant.

        It is convenient to use glue to close operative wounds in children after ambulatory surgery. The use of D significantly reduced wound ruptures compared to H. Long-term cosmetic results were similar.

        There are more than 200 procedures for repairing stress urinary incontinence. We evaluated the safety and efficiency of the Burch laparoscopic procedure in 32 women with urodynamically proven genuine stress incontinence.

        Mean operating time was 40 minutes and mean hospitalization time after the procedure was 30 hours. The cure rate was 97%, similar to that rin other studies (80-95%). The major complications w2 cases (6.2%) of unintended bladder injury, diagnosed and repaired laparoscopically. Although follow-up has only been for 3-42 months, the high cure rate and safety and advantages of laparoscopy over laparotomy, make laparoscopic Burch colposuspension the procedure of choice for repairing stress incontinence.

        Coloring the Floor of Schlemm's Canal in Deep Sclerectomy

        Eye Dept., Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem

         

        Increased intraocular pressure in glaucoma, resistant to maximal tolerated medical therapy, can be relieved by deep sclerectomy. Its advantage over classical trabeculotomy is fewer postoperative complications. This probably results from its being relatively noninvasive, since the anterior chamber is not penetrated.

        Successful deep sclerectomy requires preservation of the trabeculo-descemetic membrane, which forms part of the floor of Schlemm's canal. Aqueous flows from the anterior chamber across the trabeculo-descemetic membrane and into the ocular venous drainage. Despite the importances of its preservation, during deep sclerectomy it is perforated in 10-15% of cases.

        Coloring the endothelium lining the floor of the canal with gentian violet solution improves visualization of the membrane and thus aids in its preservation. Its use makes the procedure easier and should improve results.

        The first 1,000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed in our department were reviewed. There was no operative mortality; conversion to open cholecystectomy was necessary in 2%. In the last 600 cases the rate of conversion had decreased to 0.5%. There was common bile duct injury in 0.3%, with the injuries identified during primary surgery. This clinical experience is consistent with previous studies, which proved that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and should replace open operation as the procedure of choice.

        Dept. of Family Medicine, HaEmek Medical Center, Afula

         

        A qualitative analysis of the question "what is your general opinion of the Patient Rights Law?" showed that most physicians think it a good law that contributes to improved relations with patients.

        Physicians surveyed raised several issues relating to implementation of the law: conditions, time required to implement it and problems with language and comprehension. Fears were expressed about possible abuse of the law by patients and their lawyers, which could put medicine on the defensive.

        Nevertheless, most physicians think the law positive, that it has not negatively affected their work, and contributes to improved relationships with patients. They recommend that working conditions be improved in order to fully implement the law.
