[Late results in 170 patients operated on for breast cancer]. / Rezultate tardive la 170 bolnave operate pentru cancer mamar.

The authors investigated the late results, or survival at 5 years after the intervention, in 170 patients operated for breast cancer. The total number of survivors at 5 years was of 71 patients, of which 78 belonged to stages I and II, and only 3 to stage III. The authors present their personal attitude for such cases, and stress some of the difficulties encountered in the application of complex therapy. Of the late complications noted, which totalled 58 cases, the authors mention generalized carcinomatosis in 17 patients, pleuro-pulmonary metastases in 14 patients and 11 cases of chronic oedema of the arm, or the so-called "thick arm after Halstead operation".

[Hepatic suppurations requiring segmented or atypical hepatectomies]. / Supuratii hepatice care au necesitat hepatectomii reglate sau atipice

Following studies of cases with hepatic suppurations the authors indicate the necessity for regular or atypic hepatectomies. The extension of the suppurative process in the liver made necessary the ligature of the great sagital vein and the authors show, on the basis of anatomic and topographical data (hepatic segmentation), that it is necessary to extend the hepatectomy to the IV-th para-median segment. The authors also present the indications for bi-segmental right hepatectomy in segments VII-VI as well as of the total left regulated hepatectomy.
