The clinical significance of sentinel lymph node biopsy for staging patients with ductal carcinoma in situ has not yet been solved. Determining the role of this method for the treatment of in situ ductal carcinoma has been the aim of this study. ⋯ Our results corresponds well to the international ones. Performing sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast is not recommended on the basis of the international and our own experiences. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is essential for patients undergoing mastectomy. In other cases when preoperative diagnostic studies do not verify invasion unequivocally we advise to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy (if necessary) after the final histological result of the excised breast specimen.

[A novel technique for the closure of the pancreatic remnant using jejunal serosa following distal pancreatectomy].
Postoperative complication rate after distal pancreatectomy is as high as 10-30% in the published literature. Intraabdominal abscess formation and pancreatic fistula are the most common and clinically relevant complications, and they are thought to depend on surgical technique and skills. Using a novel method, we covered the pancreatic stump with the serosal surface of the first jejunal loop. ⋯ However, there was no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay. We concluded that using the serosal surface of the first jejunal loop is a simple, quick and secure method of closure of the proximal pancreas in terms of surgical practicability. This new technique significantly decreases the rate of postoperative fistula or abscess formation after distal pancreatectomy.

[Video-assisted, extended thymectomy for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Our early experiences].
Extended thymectomy is the key-point of the surgical treatment of the myasthenia gravis (MG), when the thymus with the surrounding fatty tissue on the neck and in the mediastinum is removed. In this study we present a new surgical technique introduced into our practice in November 2004, and with that the thymectomy is performed with video-thoracoscopic method, without sternotomy. ⋯ The video-assisted extended thymectomy for MG, that was introduced into our practice, is a safe surgical procedure with good results. The postoperative period is easier for the patients, and the MG was improved in each cases.
