RESUMEN
On the basis of histo-pathological examinations of postoperative samples following gastrectomy for adenocarcinomas of the esophageal gastric junction, the usefulness of the abdominal approach for this kind of surgical treatment is questioned. Assessment is expressed with other authors about the need for an anatomo-surgical classification of the cardial region, and the need to standardise the different surgical approaches in relation to exeresis location and extent as well as for reconstructive procedures is stressed.

The paper reports on experience with the use of Mersilene mesh in 6 patients with giant laparoceles. Besides being physiologically compatible, Mersilene mesh is recommended when traditional techniques fail. The Rives technique was used, placing the prostheses between the posterior sheath and the rectus muscle; in one case it was inserted under the peritoneum. A good local and general preparation for the operation is recommended. Even though the introduction of prosthetic materials into the body is not always non-injurious, the use of Mersilene mesh is advised because of its easy positioning and the low incidence of complications.

A personal case of enterocutaneous fistula secondary to total emergency colectomy is reported with particular emphasis on an effective form of radiological management, based on the percutaneous sclerosing of the fistulous tract using absolute ethanol and a hyperosmotic contrast medium (Angioconray 80%). By this approach a rapid closure of the fistulous tract was obtained. Moreover the procedure was easy to perform, well tolerated by the patient and devoid of untoward side effects.
