Caecal volvulus is very rare causa of the intestinal obstruction. It ocures in 1- 1,5% of all intestinal obstructions. It is known that there is only on treatment in this situation which is surgery. It is classified as an obstruction because of strangulation.We present a case of the 46 year old patient, who was operated because of intestinal obstruction. During the operation caecal volvulus has been found, with gangrene of the appendices.

Adrenal myelolipoma is an extremely rare lesion, which is composed of adipose and hematopoetic tissue. The above-mentioned lesion was first described by Gierke in 1905, with the term myelolipoma used for the first time by Oberling in 1929. The Authors of the study presented a case of a 57 year-old female patient diagnosed with a multifocal adrenal and extra- adrenal myelolipoma.

In this case report, we describe a rare event: acute inflammation of the true cecal diverticulum. Emergency surgery enabled proper diagnosis and management of this condition. Diagnostic approaches and the management of this disease are described in detail and based on literature review. In conclusion, pathologies of cecal diverticula should be considered in differential diagnosis of pain in the right iliac fossa.

Most patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal carcinomas are older people. The above-mentioned fact may lead to an erroneous finding that the problem does not concern patients aged between 20 and 30 years. Unfortunately, this assumption is often the reason for late diagnosis and delayed treatment of these malignancies. The study presented an example of three patients subject to surgical management of gastrointestinal carcinomas at the II Department of General and Gastroenterological Surgery, Medical University in Białystok.

Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome (HMPS) is a rare condition of unknown genetic origin. The paper presents 25-year clinical follow up in a female patient with multiple gastrointestinal tract polyps of varied histology. They most likely served as sites of multiple colorectal cancers development. The clinical course is interesting in terms of diagnostics and therapy. The patient required extended genetic testing, intensive conservative treatment and numerous surgical procedures. This is the first case of HMPS presented in Polish publications.

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common reasons of mortality in patients diagnosed with neoplasms. In nearly 20% of patients with colorectal carcinoma metastatic lesions are diagnosed. In general, survival of patients with metastatic lesions to the liver and other organs is poor. Conventional therapy of colorectal carcinoma is based on the surgical excision of the tumor, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.The aim of the study was to determine the expression of CD134 and CD137 molecules inside the tumor, at the border of the tumor, in the healthy tissue, and peripheral blood, considering patients with colorectal carcinoma metastases to the liver.Material and methods. The study group comprised 39 patients subject to surgical treatment at the Department of General and Gastroenterological Surgery, due to colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases. CD134 and CD137 adhesive molecule levels were determined inside the tumor, at the border of the tumor, and in the healthy margins of the surgical incision. Additionally, the authors evaluated the peripheral blood level of the above-mentioned molecules on the day of the surgical procedure, and 10 days, thereafter.Results. The mean CD134 levels were the highest inside the tumor, significantly decreasing towards the direction of healthy tissues. The average peripheral blood molecule levels were four-fold higher on the day of the surgical procedure, as compared to values obtained on the tenth postoperative day. This dependency also concerned the remaining statistical measures.The mean CD137 levels showed no significant difference, regardless their location. The authors observed significant, peripheral blood, CD137 level differences, considering the day of the surgical procedure and tenth postoperative period. The mean CD137 peripheral blood level was several times higher on the day of the surgical procedure, as compared to the postoperative period.Conclusions. The determination of the activity of CD134 and CD137 molecules might create opportunities to plan treatment and predict prognosis in case of colorectal carcinoma. Proper immuno-therapeutic management which is based on the expression of the above-mentioned molecules might help determine the risk of metastases, preventing from their development. In advanced cases treatment of liver metastases might be possible.

Epidemiological studies prove that incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing. The first line therapy of colorectal cancer is surgical resection of the primary tumor and elimination of regional and remote metastases.The aim of the study was to determine expression of adhesion molecules CD134 and CD137 in the peripheral blood in colorectal cancer patients, depending on clinical cancer stage, size and invasion of the tumor.Material and methods. The study enrolled 72 patients with primary colorectal adenocarcinoma. An average patient age was 64.55 years. Clinical tumor stage was assessed using two scales: Dukes: A and Astler-Coller scale. Expression of adhesion molecules was determined in the peripheral blood collected on the day of the procedure and 10 days after the procedure.Results. An average activity of CD134 molecules (12.66%) was significantly higher than that of CD137 (6.26%) (p<0.001). Clinical tumor stage was assessed on Dukes scale and was unrelated to CD134 activity, while activity of CD137 was related to clinical cancer stage.Conclusions. CD137 activity is directly proportional to colorectal cancer stage. Surgical resection of the tumor results in increased CD134 and CD137 expression. Long term studies, enrolling larger groups of patients, including their subdivision to colon and rectal cancer, are required to utilize CD134 and CD137 in immune therapy of colorectal cancer.

The only proven, effective therapy in case of the gastric cancers is surgery.The aim of the study. The most common procedure which is made in such a situation is total resection of the stomach. In our publication we would like to present and to recommend a very rare made type of the reconstructive procedures after total gastrectomy, which is called "double tract reconstruction" (DTR). This type of reconstruction is occasionally made mainly in Japan.Material and methods. Double tract reconstruction has been made in 2nd Department of General and Gastroenterological Surgery since 2000. Till today 75 patients were treated with this method.Results. The frequency of complications after double tract reconstruction was occasional, and there were no differences between this procedure and Roux-en-Y method of the reconstruction. There were no differences in the time of the operation between this two methods. The most important advantage of this method is that duodenal passage is extant. Because of that the endoscopic examination of papilla Vateri can be made.Conclusions. We would like to recommend this method as an alternative to Roux-en-Y procedure because of its simplicity and safeness.
