    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Au cours des 7 dernières années les auteurs ont observé 48 cas de tumeurs carcinoÏdes dont 15 siégeaient au niveau de l'intestin grÊle. Dans cet article ils décrivent les différents aspects revÊtus par ces tumeurs, le syndrome carcinoÏde et leur traitement adéquat. Le pronostic de ces lésions est très variable et donc difficile à prévoir pour chaque malade. Leur croissance et leur dissémination est souvent lente, de ce fait les malades soumis à un traitement médical et chirurgical convenables peuvent survivre de 15 à 20 ans au-delà des premières manifestations de la maladie. La qualité de vie peut Être améliorée soit par l'exérèse chirurgicale du plus grand nombre possible de métastases hépatiques, soit par embolisation hepatique.
    Abstract: Resumen Los tumores del yeyuno y del ileon constituyen hasta un 5% de todos los tumores del tracto gastrointestinal. Los tumores malignos más frecuentes del intestino delgado son los adenocarcinomas y los tumores carcinoides, con una ligera preponderancia de los adenocarcinomas. El ileon es el lugar de más frecuente localización de los carcinoides del intestino delgado, con una incidencia global que sólo la sobrepasa el apéndice. Cerca de 10% de los carcinoides de intestino delgado ocurren en el yeyuno. En los Últimos siete años hemos manejado 48 casos de tumores carcinoides. De estos, 15 han sido tumores del intestino delgado. Los tumores carcinoides poseen una apariencia histológica similar a la de otros tumores neuroendocrinos. Contienen y secretan 5-hidroxitriptamina; excesivas cantidades de ácido-5-hidroxi indolacético aparecen en la orina. Sinembargo, no todos los tumores producen 5-hidroxitriptamina y algunos secretan dopamina y noradrenalina. Tales hallazgos son consistentes con el concepto de que las células de un tumor carcinoide se derivan de la serie APUD. Los componentes principales del síndrome carcinoide son “flushing” (rubor), diarrea, lesiones valvulares cardiacas y asma. El primer objetivo del tratamiento quirÚrgico es corregir la obstrucción, lo cual implica la resección del tumor y de las asas intestinales afectadas por la masa tumoral. En algunos casos es necesario realizar hemicolectomía derecha. Cuando el tumor se extiende por fuera del intestino, la resección debe incluir tanto tumor como sea posible, incluyendo ganglios mesentéricos y paraaórticos y depósitos secundarios en el hígado. En aquellos casos en que haya mÚltiples depósitos, la resección parcial de hígado puede ser beneficiosa. La ligadura de la arteria hepática ha sido utilizada en casos de depósitos mÚltiples, pero este procedimiento ha sido reemplazado por la embolización; muchos patientes pueden sobrevivir por periodos largos de tiempo con metástasis hepáticas. Se ha utilizado la quimioterapia citotóxica para enfermedad difundida, así como la irradiación para el manejo de dolor por metástasis óseas.
    Notes: Abstract During the last 7 years we have managed 48 cases of carcinoid tumor. Of these 15 have been tumors of the small bowel. In this article we describe and discuss the presentation of small bowel carcinoid tumors, the carcinoid syndrome, and its treatment. The content reflects our clinical experience.

    Notes: Summary The consequences of altered immunocompetence resulting from anaesthesia and surgery are potentially hazardous to the patient with malignant disease. Malnutrition also produces reduction in cell mediated immunity, a condition which is commonly incurred in patients with neoplastic disorders. Numerous agents have been claimed to stimulate the immune responses but few have proved to be of practical value. This paper reports the use variously of protease inhibitors, using Aprotinin, and post operative nutritional therapy, following major surgical resection for carcinoma — specifically as regards their influence on parameters believed to relate to cell mediated immunity. No clinical, metabolic or immunologic benefit was identified from either method of post operative stimulation of cell mediated immunity, although this study did confirm post operative depression of these parameters. The significance of these changes is unclear but there is no evidence to support an immunological mechanism for either of these approaches being of benefit in clinical practice.

    Notes: Summary The past decades have seen considerable shifts of emphasis in surgical care. The recognition that pus was not laudable, was followed by a realisation that not all complications were inevitable and that prophylaxis could effectively reduce the incidence of most common problems in the post-operative period. As anaesthesia has become safer, it has been possible to embark on more intricate and prolonged procedures and for sufficient time to be available to ensure adequate intraoperative care. These two phenomena have firstly increased the complexity of management in the post-operative period, and have brought this aspect of surgical care more obviously to the limelight. However, many separate disciplines are involved in the care of the patient post-operatively, and the Symposium was organised1 to bring the different groups together to identify the areas of recent development in the different specialities and to integrate the overall care of the individual patient.
