    Notes: Abstract In rectal cancer, depth of infiltration and metastatic involvement of lymph nodes are important prognostic factors. The correct choice of operative treatment depends on the extent of the disease. In a prospective study, the value of endorectal ultrasound in staging rectal cancer was evaluated, and factors affecting the method's accuracy are discussed. The overall accuracy in staging depth of infiltration was 89 percent. Overstaging occurred in 10.2 percent, understaging in 0.8 percent. Tumors of the lower rectum are incorrectly staged in 16.7 percent, whereas tumors of the middle and upper rectum had an incorrect staging in 6.3 percent (P 〈0.001). Compared with computed tomography, endorectal sonography is the more accurate staging method (74.7 vs.90.8 percent). In staging lymph nodes, the overall accuracy was 80.2 percent, sensitivity was 89.4 percent, specificity was 73.4 percent, positive predictive value (PPV) was 71.2 percent, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 90.4 percent. The staging accuracy depends on the size of the node. Endorectal ultrasound is a safe, inexpensive, and accurate staging method, in the assessment of both depth of infiltration and nodal status. The results are strongly related to the experience of the investigator.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung. Fragestellung: Wir untersuchten Art und Häufigkeit der Beschwerden nach laparoskopischer Cholecystektomie sowie Einfluß des präoperativen Beschwerdebildes und des perioperativen Verlaufes auf das Langzeitergebnis. Material und Methode: Zwischen September 1994 und August 1995 haben wir prospektiv und standardisiert 268 Patienten erfaßt und laparoskopisch cholecystektomiert. Nach durchschnittlich 16 Monaten (12–25 Monate) wurden 253 Patienten (94 %) telephonisch und bei Bedarf klinisch nachkontrolliert. Ergebnisse: Bei der Nachkontrolle waren die Beschwerden eingeteilt nach Visick-Score: Grad I (symptomfrei): 164 Patienten (65 %); Grad II: 72 (28 %); Grad III: 12 (5 %) und Grad IV: 5 (2 %). Aufgrund der Befragung und Abklärungen bei 15 % der Patienten konnten wir folgende Ursachen für das „Postcholecystektomiesyndrom“ definieren: Residualsteine 1 %, subhepatische Kollektionen 0,8 %, Narbenhernie 0,4 %. Narbenschmerzen 2,4 %, peptische Krankheiten 4 %, funktionelle Beschwerden 26 %. Patienten mit typischen oder atypischen Beschwerden präoperativ unterschieden sich nicht in der Art und Häufigkeit der Beschwerden ein Jahr nach laparoskopischer Cholecystektomie. Anzahl und Lokalisation der vorausgegangenen Laparotomien oder der intraoperative Galleverlust hatten ebenfalls keinen Einfluß auf die Art oder Schwere der Postcholecystektomiebeschwerden. Schlußfolgerungen: 93 % der Patienten ein Jahr nach laparoskopischer Cholecystektomie haben keine oder unerhebliche Beschwerden. Weder Art der Beschwerden präoperativ, Anzahl vorausgegangener Laparotomien noch der intraoperative Galleverlust haben Einfluß auf das Langzeitresultat.
    Notes: Summary. Aims: We studied the nature and frequency of symptoms 1 year after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in order to define pre- and perioperative factors that influence the long-term outcome. Method: Between September 1994 and August 1995 we prospectively evaluated 268 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using a standard questionnaire. After an average of 16 months (12–25 months) the patients were asked about their symptoms using a similar questionnaire by telephone or were followed up clinically if necessary. Results: In the long-term follow-up the severity of the symptoms according to the Visick score were: Visick I (no symptoms): 164 patients (65 %); Visick II: 72 (28 %); Visick III: 12 (5 %); Visick IV: 5 (2 %). The aetiologies of the postcholecystectomy syndrome were: residual stones 1 %, subhepatic liquid formation 0.8 %, incisional hernia 0.4 %, peptic diseases 4 %, wound pain 2.4 %, functional disorders 26 %. Patients with typical or atypical symptoms preoperatively showed no difference in the outcome 1 year after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Neither did the number and location of laparotomies prior to cholecystectomy or the gallbladder perforation or loss of stones intraoperatively influence the severity of the postcholecystectomy symptoms. Conclusions: One year after laparoscopic cholecystectomy 93 % of the patients have no or only minor abdominal symptoms. Neither the number and location of the laparotomies prior to cholecystectomy nor the loss of gallstones intraoperatively have an impact on the long-term result.

    Notes: Abstract As the modern treatment for anal carcinoma is either radiotherapy alone or combined radiochemotherapy, an exact histological staging is impossible. Therefore we have to depend on an accurate preoperative staging method. Endoanal ultrasonography enables imaging of the normal anal canal and its pathologies. In a prospective investigation we were able to confirm the histological proven diagnosis of an anal epidermoid carcinoma in 12 patients with a 10-MHz transducer covered with a sonolucent plastic cone. The depth of infiltration can be determined in relation to the normal layers of the anal canal. Six patients treated with radiotherapy alone or combined radiochemotherapy were followed and the success or failure of the treatment was documented. Endosonography of the anal canal allows an exact staging of a primary anal carcinoma and the follow-up in irradiated carcinomas. Besides digital palpation and proctoscopy with biopsy, endosonography complements the preoperative staging of anal carcinomas.
