    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Rekonstruktion im Mundhöhlen-, Pharynx- und im kranialen Ösophagusbereich nach ausgedehnten, radikalen Tumorresektionen stellt eine interdisziplinäre Herausforderung dar. Eine vielfach favorisierte Technik ist die rekonstruktive Jejunumautotransplantation, bei welcher der Abdominalchirurg mit der Gewinnung des Autotransplantats beauftragt ist. Die Notwendigkeit des zusätzlichen Abdominaleingriffs macht die vorgestellte Analyse der perioperativen Komplikationen bei der Jejunumentnahme notwendig. Zusätzlich wurden 35 von 66 noch lebenden Patienten mit einem Nachuntersuchungsintervall von durchschnittlich 21 (2–63) Monaten bezüglich abdominaler Spätkomplikationen evaluiert. Bei 90 wegen eines Malignoms der Mundhöhle oder des Oropharynx operierten Patienten war die perioperative Letalität 7,8% (7/90), in keinem Fall auf Basis einer entnahmeassoziierten abdominalen Komplikation. Eine abdominale Revision erfolgte wegen subkutaner Bauchdeckendehiszenz. Aus nicht mit der Dünndarmentnahme in direktem Zusammenhang stehender Ursache mußten 4 Patienten relaparotomiert werden (2 noch während des Krankenhausaufenthalts, 2 Patienten nach erfolgter Entlassung). Bei 5 Patienten wurden konservativ behandelbare minimale Komplikationen festgestellt. Die Nachuntersuchung zeigte außer in 6 Fällen mit kleinen Narbenhernien keine Spätkomplikationen auf. Insgesamt ist festzuhalten, daß trotz des zumeist erhöhten perioperativen Risikos dieses Patientenguts die Komplikationsrate des zusätzlichen Abdominaleingriffs zur Gewinnung des optimalen Rekonstruktionsgewebes gering und vertretbar erscheint.
    Notes: Abstract Reconstruction after radical tumor resection in the oropharyngeal region still represents an interdisciplinary challenge. Autotransplantation of the jejunum is a popular procedure, in which the abdominal surgeon's main task is that of harvesting enteral tissue. To evaluate this technique, a careful analysis of accompanying perioperative abdominal complications was performed. Additionally, we reexamined 35 of 66 patients still living after a follow-up period of 21 (range 2–63) months on average. The perioperative mortality of 90 patients treated for oropharyngeal malignancy using the described procedure was 7.8%. None of the perioperative deaths was caused by an abdominal complication associated with enteral resection. One abdominal reoperation was performed because of abdominal wall dehiscence. For reasons not related to enteral resection, four further patients had to be relaparotomized, two of them during their hospital stay and two after leaving hospital. In five cases we observed minor complications which could be treated nonsurgically. In the follow-up reexamination we detected no abdominal late-onset complication except small incisional hernias in six cases. Finally, we concluded that despite an elevated overall operative risk in this population, complications owing to jejunal resection were comparably low. The data regarding the rate of complications classify jejunal resection as a safe procedure for reconstructive purposes in patients suffering from oropharyngeal malignancy.

    Notes: Abstract In 11 cases of intracranial, temporal arachnoid cysts the etiology, clinical and radiographic findings, surgical treatment, and outcome are reviewed in respect of post-traumatic subdural hematoma. Cysts of the middle cranial fossa are susceptible to trauma, which may cause bleeding either into the cyst or into the subdural space. Signs and symptoms of increasing intracranial pressure (ICP), local neurological deficits, and sometimes epileptic seizures may lead to hospitalization. CT or MRI scans are diagnostic in these cases. In cases of intracranial mass lesion with displacement of the midline structures and increasing ICP, osteoplastic craniotomy is performed and the lateral wall of the cyst is resected down to the tentorial notch by a microsurgical procedure, with opening into the basal cisterns. There were no operative or postoperative complications in 11 consecutive cases. However, one boy required a cystoperitoneal shunt 3 months later as a result of hydrocephalus following subdural hematoma. Asymptomatic arachnoid cysts are discussed with respect to brain function and social behavior.
