During one year from November 1990 to October 1991, 1005 patients of hemorrhoids visited VGH-Kaohsiung. Among different treatments of hemorrhoid, rubber band ligation was most commonly used, with which 66% patients were treated. The follow-up at least one month in duration, discovered much improvement with this ligation in patients symptoms such as prolapse, anal bleeding and anal soiling, etc. The success rate reached higher than 90% for the first, second and third degree of hemorrhoids. About one third of 4th degree hemorrhoid got improved after ligation of their internal hemorrhoids. Except for pain feeling in the anus, the occurrence rate of other complications such as hemorrhage, anal thrombosis, constipation or dysuria was very low. With the exception of hemorrhoid of 4th degree or with large skin tag, this simple and highly successful management is the first choice for the treatment of hemorrhoids.

BACKGROUND. Granisetron was shown to be a safe and effective antiemetic agent when given with initial cytostatic therapy. This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of the continued use of granisetron. METHODS. Ninety-one patients were given 438 cycles of granisetron during subsequent courses of cytostatic treatment. In 56 patients, 40 micrograms/kg i.v. was given in 159 cycles, and in 42 patients, 3 mg i.v. was given in 279 cycles. In patients having breakthrough symptoms, as many as two rescue doses were given to re-establish control. RESULTS. Overall objective control of nausea and vomiting was observed in 88.6% of the 40 micrograms/kg-cycles and in 90.32% of the 3-mg cycles. In the 438 cycles given, complete control was achieved in 105 of 159 (66%) of the 40-micrograms/kg cycles and in 217 of 279 (77.78%) of the 3-mg cycles. Thirty-three patients received 97 cycles of cisplatin-based regimens. The objective control rate was 82.47% (80 of 97 cycles) in these patients. The control rate in patients receiving regimens not containing cisplatin was 94.4% (322 of 341 cycles). Rescue doses improved or resolved symptoms in 53 of 61 (86.9%) cycles. No statistically significant difference in nausea and vomiting control was seen between men and women or between the different age groups. The only toxicities encountered were headache in 14 of 438 (3.2%) cycles and mild constipation in 8 of 438 (1.8%) cycles. CONCLUSION. Granisetron is safe and well tolerated, maintains its antiemetic efficacy after repeated cycles of therapy, and is effective as an interventional treatment for nausea and vomiting.

[Functional results of subtotal and partial colectomy in therapy-resistant chronic constipation. A follow-up study of 32 patients]

In 32 female patients with severe constipation subtotal (n = 27) or partial (n = 5) colectomy was performed. In 8 cases slow transit constipation was preexistent, 24 patients had a megacolon/dolichocolon. Ileosigmoid anastomosis was found to show the most favourable results. None of these patients complained of constipation postoperatively and all of them reported regular (daily) bowel movements. Incontinence for flatus and/or liquid stools was less likely to occur with ileosigmoid than with rectal anastomosis (29 versus 46%).
