    Notes: Abstract The extraction of large gallstones in laparoscopic cholecystectomy either requires the enlargement of one of the incisions or intraoperative lithotripsy. Preoperative extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) might theoretically solve the problem and facilitate the extraction of the gallbladder. Ten patients with at least one gallstone larger than 20 mm in diameter underwent ESWL treatment within 24 h prior to laparoscopic surgery. Complete pulverization of stones was achieved in one patient. Fragmentation into pieces smaller than 10 mm could be observed in another three cases. Additional mechanical fragmentation employing forceps was necessary in seven and an enlargement of the incision in five of the 10 patients. Compared to a matched group of 10 control patients with gallstones of corresponding size receiving mechanical lithotripsy, the ESWL did not show an advantage, but rather an increase in costs. It therefore cannot be recommended.

    Notes: Abstract Lymphocele is a most common surgical complication following renal transplantation. The indication for treatment is given when the lymphocele becomes hyptomatic. We succeeded in laparoscopically deroofing large lymphoceles in nine patients that were causing ureter compression in eight and ipsilateral leg edema in six cases. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the surgery-related hospitalization did not exceed 7 days. Severe adhesions and a thick lymphocele wall, which made preparation difficult, resulted in the transection of the transplant ureter in one case. Techniques and prerequisites that would help to avoid this type of complication are discussed. According to CT scan or sonography, there was no recurrence in any of the patients after a mean follow-up of 11 months. This technique seems to be superior to other methods of treatment because not only is a cure obtained with a single intervention, but there is also a low risk of infection and a short hospitalization.

    Notes: The first appearance and early development of two circumventricular organs, the area postrema (AP) and the subfornical organ (SFO), were investigated in human embryos and fetuses from the 4th to the 40th gestational weeks (GW). The AP appears very early in development, during the GW 10; its high vascularization can be seen from GW14, and differentiated neurons are observed from GW 16. The SFO is characterized by a late onset of development. It can first be distinguished at GW 17, but it does not attain cytological differentiation until the last weeks of gestation. It is suggested that the AP has important functions during fetal life, which are related to normal fetal weight and growth; in contrast the SFO, which is connected with drinking behavior and salt/water balance, seems to play a less essential role in early fetal life.
