    Notes: We studied the laryngoscopic view in 167 patients with their head and necks held in the neutral position with manual in-line stabilisation and cricoid pressure to simulate the patient with a suspected cervical spine injury. Each patient underwent laryngoscopy using both a McCoy and a Macintosh laryngoscope. The best view obtained by each laryngoscope was graded according to standard guidelines. The results showed that the McCoy was never worse than the Macintosh. It improved the Macintosh grade by 1 grade in 41% and by 2 grades in 8% (p 〈 0.001). Difficult laryngoscopy, defined as the inability to see the glottis (grade 3 or 4), was found in 56 (33%) with the Macintosh laryngoscope and only eight (5%) (p 〈 0.001) with the McCoy laryngoscope. We suggest that patients with a suspected cervical spine injury and a full stomach should be intubated using a McCoy in preference to a Macintosh laryngoscope.

    Notes: Intranasal administration of lipophilic opioids has been shown to be an effective method of administration which is devoid of major side-effects. Whether it is as effective as intravenous administration for patientcontrolled analgesia (PCA) has been investigated for fentanyl and pethidine, but not for diamorphine. This study reports a randomised controlled trial designed to compare the effectiveness of diamorphine administered as PCA utilising either the intranasal or intravenous routes. We investigated 52 consecutive patients undergoing primary lower limb joint replacement surgery. Patients were randomly allocated to receive PCA diamorphine, administered either intravenously (0.5 mg bolus, 3 min lockout) or intranasally (1.0 mg bolus, 3 min lockout). Pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Score (VAS) at rest and on movement on five occasions over the first 36 h postoperatively. The results demonstrated that patients in the intranasal PCA group had significantly higher VAS scores than the intravenous group, both at rest (intranasal median 35.5 vs. intravenous median 20; p = 0.030) and on movement (intranasal median 64 vs. intravenous median 50; p = 0.016). However, significantly fewer patients in the intranasal group compared with the intravenous group suffered episodes of vomiting (intranasal 0/24 vs. intravenous 6/24 patients; p = 0.022). We suggest that if a maximal reduction in pain score is considered the goal of PCA management, the intravenous route is preferable to the intranasal route.

    Notes: Abstract We describe an anal disease activity index suitable for use in prospective studies of treatment and recording the natural history of anal disease. We studied 40 patients with perianal Crohn's disease (PACD), 14 patients with anal disease not related to Crohn's disease, and 10 normal individuals. Seven symptoms related to anal disease were measured using a linear analog scoring system, which proved easy for the patients to complete. Only three of the seven clinical parameters studied before and after treatment had a high discriminant value. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that a good index of response to therapy in patients with anal disease can be obtained from a linear analog scoring of three symptoms: spontaneous anal pain, pain following defecation, and inhibition of locomotion by pain. The index should be of value in comparing management options in PACD.

    Notes: Abstract The authors have investigated the metabolic sequelae Picolax bowel preparation in a group receiving their preparation either 24 hours (n=17) or 48 hours (n=18) before elective colonic resection. No significant changes in any metabolic parameter were found in the 24-hour group. In the 48-hour group, there was a significant decrease in serum sodium ( P 〈0.005), serum chloride ( P 〈0.005), pH ( P 〈0.005), HCO 3 (P 〈0.005), and base excess ( P 〈0.005). Only 16 of 35 cases (46 percent) had an acceptable bowel preparation: 11 of 17 (65 percent) in the 24-hour group and 5 of 18 (28 percent) in the 48-hour group. Marker studies did not correlate with the quality of bowel preparation. The risk of potentially explosive intraluminal gas was increased if the bowel preparation was poor: 12 of 19 patients (63 percent) with a poor bowel preparation compared with 3 of 16 patients (19 percent) of those with an acceptable preparation ( P 〈0.005). Picolax is a poor mechanical bowel preparation and is associated with unacceptable physiologic disturbance if given two days before surgery.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La fistulisation d'un kyste hydatique dans le colon n'a pas été décrite jusqu'à maintenant alors que la rupture du parasite géant dans la cavité péritonéale dans l'artère biliaire ou dans le poumon par l'intermédiaire du diaphragme est bien connue. Dans le cas rapporté le lavement baryté a montré à posteriori, après l'intervention une image plaidant en faveur d'une fistule colo-hépatique qui fut méconnue (fig 2). La présence d'une grande quantité de gaz dans la cavité kystique suggère son origine colique plutôt que sa formation in situ du fait de l'infection. L'extériorisation du colon après suture de la brèche colique a été jugée plus adéquate que la colostomie d'amont et que la réintégration immédiate de l'anse colique dans la cavité abdominale en raison des risques de contamination septique. Cette attitude se solda par un bon résultat. Si le traitement du kyste hydatique par les moyens médicaux est susceptible d'entrainer la guérison dans le futur, la chirurgie restera indispensable pour toutes les complications: fistule, infection, obstruction biliaire et rupture.
    Abstract: Resumen Se informa el caso de un paciente originario de Yemen, pero residente en el Reino Unido durante 30 años, quien se presentó con un cuadro febril (38.5°C), hígado doloroso y aumentado de tamaño y una gran cavidad con nivel aero-líquido en el cuadrante superior del abdomen, la cual probó ser un quiste hidático del lóbulo derecho del hígado. El quiste fue aspirado, inyectado con nitrato de plata al 5% y luego abierto para extraer los quistes filiales y las membranas germinativas, después de lo cual se presentó fistulización al colon que requirió exteriorización del segmento afectado. Aun cuando el tratamiento primario de la enfermedad hidatídica pronto habrá de ser médico, la cirugía todavía será requerida para complicaciones tales como fístula, infección, obstrucción biliar o ruptura.
    Notes: Abstract Communication of a hepatic hydatid cyst to the colon appears to be extremely rare. We report a 54-year-old male who underwent surgery for a huge hydatid cyst. Four days after the cyst was aspirated and many daughter cysts were removed, gross fecal contamination occurred as a result of a 0.5-cm defect in the right transverse colon. The defect was repaired and the colon temporarily exteriorized. Recovery was uneventful.

    Notes: Abstract Our experience in the surgical management of 115 patients with fistula-in-ano treated over 14 years was reviewed retrospectively. The incidence of previous anorectal infection was 69%. After treatment eight patients (7%) developed a recurrence of the fistula and five (4%) experienced some complication directly resulting from surgical treatment. One patient died of pulmonary embolism following an operation for recurrence. Most of the patients (75%) had a successful outcome of a minor surgical procedure.
