Abstract
AIM This prospective study has been designed to evaluate the correlation between the presence/absence of the interproximal papilla and the mesio-distal and corono-apical position single-tooth replacement implants inserted immediately following tooth extraction. These distances have been evaluated measuring the horizontal distance between the implant and the adjacent tooth (implant tooth distance, ITD) and the vertical distance between the contact point and the coronal margin of the interproximal bone (contact point-bone distance, CPB). METHODS Fifty implants (25 Astratech® straight and 25 Straumann®) immediately placed after tooth extraction in highly aesthetic areas have been evaluated by means of clinical and radiographic evaluation. Gingival index (GI) and the presence/absence of the interproximal papilla were clinically measured. A computerized analysis was performed to determine ITD and CPB values after converting perioapical radiographs to digitalized images. were performed to determine: the effect of ITD and CPB on the presence or absence of the interproximal papilla was studied by statistical analysis. RESULTS The gingival index was 0 in 97% of the areas and 1 in 3%. When ITD was 2.5 to 4 mm, the interproximal papilla was significantly present (P<0.05). CPB of 3 to 5 mm was related (P<0.05) to the papilla presence if ITD was 2.5 to 4 mm, and this finding was valid for Astratech implants only. CONCLUSION The horizontal distance of 2.5 to 4 mm between an implant and the adjacent tooth is significantly associated to a full interproximal papilla.

Abstract
When anatomic structures and ridge resorption limit the placement of a standard implant, the clinician can apply augmentation techniques or use short implants. A literature review was carried out to evaluate the differences in survival rate and the rational use of short implants. Electronic search (MEDLINE) and manual search have been performed to select papers from 2000 to 2008. Of all the inclusion criteria the most relevant were: 1) studies with data on short implants; 2) studies on humans; 3) prospective, longitudinal, retrospective and multicenter studies; 4) no restrictions were applied about study design; 5) no implant type selection was applied. Exclusion criteria were: 1) studies concerning treatment of patients with conditions possibly affecting survival or success rates of implant treatment; 2) studies concerning treatment of patients with non-treated periodontal disease; 3) implants placed in non-healed ridge, such as postextractive short implants. A total of 13 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies have reported different survival rate for short and standard implants. The difference is not significant. The recent literature have demonstrated a similar survival rate for short and standard implants. Older articles have demonstrated a lower survival rate for short implants. The treatment planning is a key factor for success in the use of short implants. Some of the parameters the clinician should consider are: 1) area to rehabilitate as well as bone quality; 2) length of the implant; 3) implant diameter; 4) type of implant and surface treatment; 5) crown to implant ratio of the final prostheses; 6) type of prostheses; 7) connection to other implants; 8) occlusal/ parafunctional load; 9) prosthetic complications. Although in the literature there are no studies that analyze short implant survival from the point of view of each key factors, it can be assumed that a careful treatment planning can lead the clinician to obtain a successful rehabilitation.

Abstract
The Bohr effect, i.e. the pH dependence of the oxygen affinity of haemoglobins (Hbs) from a variety of vertebrates, and its modulation by temperature and other heterotropic effectors has been reviewed. Haemoglobins from vertebrates were not reviewed following the usual classification (i.e. mammals, birds, etc.); instead we have selected several key examples of animals, which are confronted with a similar environmental situation therefore displaying a similar life style. Hence, the paper starts from a description of the general concepts at the basis of the Bohr effect as exemplified by human HbA and goes towards the analysis of the modulation mechanisms which have been observed in different animals in response to the needs induced by: (i) life in cold environments; (ii) diving behaviour; (iii) flight; and (iv) aquatic life. The emerging picture indicates a complex organization of the information contained in the Hb molecule, the oxygen-binding properties of which depend both on the intrinsic characteristics of the protein and on its heterotropic interactions with ligands such as protons (Bohr effect), small anions like chloride and organic phosphates. In addition, each one of the functional effects induced by binding of a given effector appears to be under the strict control of temperature that enhances or decreases its relative weight with respect to all the others. It is just by this sophisticated network of interactions that the Hb molecule is able to satisfy the physiological requirements of a multitude of organisms without changing dramatically its quaternary structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile peritonitis has a diversified aetiology that can present in clinical pictures of variable gravity depending on whether the bile is uncontaminated or activated by other secretions (intestinal, pancreatic) or actually infected. The consequent treatment is therefore eclectic. In our opinion, however, the therapeutic strategy proves effective if modulated on the basis of certain priority elements that should be carefully considered. The type of treatment adopted in relation to immediate and long-term results has been evaluated. METHODS The investigation was carried out retrospectively on the series of bile peritonitis treated at the Surgical Clinic of the University of Modena from 1980 to 1998. 45 cases of bile peritonitis are reported of which: 32 postoperative, 2 post-traumatic, 2 following transparietohepatic injection, 7 during acute necrotic cholecystitis, 2 following spontaneous perforation of the biliary tree. As regards the type of treatment, in 13 cases (well-drained postoperative forms) a conservative solution was adopted; in another 13 cases (9 septic and 4 with mixed bile supply) surgery was resorted to again, in the remainder transparietohepatic drainage was carried out in association almost always with the application of a transpapillary endoprosthesis. RESULTS Morbility was 26.6% (12 cases); 4 patients (8.8%) were reoperated for late complications with mortality of 50%. Total mortality was 20% (9 patients). CONCLUSIONS Treatment of bile peritonitis may be eclectic but the complex forms benefit from early surgical or parasurgical treatment for a definitive resolution of this feared complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative peritonitis is a pathologic condition with a sometime nuclear clinical occurrence and therefore with an uncertain timing for reoperation. Aim of this paper is to identify the type and frequency of the digestive and systemic symptoms in relation to the anatomo-pathologic peroperative picture. METHODS Between 1980 and 1996, 119 patients were reoperated for a postoperative peritonitis (PPO) in the Surgical Department of Modena University. PPO was due to a lesion situated above the mesocolon in 33 patients, from the small bowel in 18, postappendicectomy in 25 and from the colon in 40. The first operation (for benign disease in 66.4%, for malignancy in 33.6%) was performed in emergency in 47 cases (39.5%) and as elective surgery in 72 (60.5%). RESULTS The global mortality was of 33.6% (40 patients). An attempt is made to identify, the earlier and the most important bioclinical parameters for a correct indication to surgery. Twenty symptoms have been identified that, with different frequency, are strictly related with the onset of a PPO (in average 5 symptoms were positive). A research of these parameters, each 4-6 hours, allow to identify a subclinical PPO. CONCLUSIONS During the decisional timing, it is important to check these general and digestive symptoms, apparently not serious, in order to avoid the onset appearance of an abdominal tenderness or a multiorgan failure that make the prognosis more severe.

Abstract
Ventral lateral hernias of the abdominal wall are rare. On the basis of their location we can classify them as follows: hernias of the aponeurosis of the transversus muscle, hernias of the rectal sheath and transmuscular hernias of the iliac region. In a group of 3134 hernias of the abdominal wall observed in a period of 16 years, 11 ventral lateral hernias have been encountered (0.3%). The diagnosis often presents great difficulties as the symptoms and the clinical findings are not typical. They must be differentiated from hematomas of the rectus sheath, abscess or intra-abdominal processes. Echography and Computed Tomography have an important role in their detection. Nevertheless in some patients the true diagnosis is reached only intraoperatively. The treatment generally consists in surgical correction by layer closure of the fascial or muscular defect. In selected cases the use of prosthetic material and video laparoscopic repair are indicated.

Abstract
A case of well differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in a 80 year old man is presented. The preoperative diagnosis of spermatic cord liposarcoma is not easy; however, a careful comparison between clinical and ultrasonographic findings can lead to diagnostic suspicion. The treatment of choice is the excision of the liposarcoma associated with orchiectomy and high ligation of the spermatic cord to reduce the risk of recurrence. Postoperative radiotherapy may be indicated for poor differentiated liposarcomas.

Abstract
The authors report the results of a prospective study on 204 patients (1980-1993) affected by early infiltrating breast cancer (size pounds 2 cm) as a part of a surgical series of 608 cases. 53 cases who underwent QUART (25.9%) and 151 cases (74.1%) who underwent mastectomy modified according to Patey have been collected. 10 years actuarial survival has been respectively 79% after extensive surgery and 78% after conservative treatment. Local recurrences have been observed in 9 cases after meticulous follow-up (median 74.8 months, range 12-178): 3 (5.66%) patients after QUART and 6 (3.97%) after mastectomy; furthermore 1 patients after a conservative treatment (1.88%) has developed a second tumor at the same side probably dependent on the presence in the primary tumor of an extensive intraductal component. No correlations between histological features, grading, positive nodes, receptor status and local recurrences have been found. Only the age of patients looks significantly correlated with frequency of recurrences: 44.45% of local recurrences have been observed in patients less than 45 years old. Local recurrences after QUART have obliged, in all cases, to a radical mastectomy. Furthermore, frequency of distant metastases has been considered: after QUART percentage is lower (9.43%) than after radical mastectomy (13.9%). This consideration looks correlated with the longer follow-up of the later group. A multidisciplinary approach is advised but the most important role is played by surgery. In conclusion it is outlined that conservative surgery is addressed to selection and consenting patients.

Abstract
Aim of the study is to evaluate the biology, the clinical evolution and the prognosis of lobular carcinoma of the breast. We retrospectively evaluated the patients treated in our institution during the last 13 years. 117 patients with lobular carcinoma of the breast and 117 patients, randomized out of 397 patients with 'classical' pattern of ductal carcinoma were compared. Age distribution, type of surgery, tumor size, TNM stage, axillary lymph node involvement, multifocality, multiple breast cancers, local and distant recurrences, overall survival and disease-free survival have been evaluated. There was not a significant difference in tumor size, lymph node involvement, stage distribution, estrogens and progesterone receptors status, local and distant recurrences. The only significant differences were found in multifocality and multiple breast cancers. The said difference does not seem to modify the overall survival and the disease-free survival that are the same in the two groups. Our research shows that tumor size and axillary lymph node status are the only elements that have to be considered in the choice of the surgical treatment and prognosis. It seems that the difference in distant metastatic pattern between lobular and ductal carcinoma is the distinctive feature in the follow-up of these patients.

Abstract
A case of "sump syndrome", occurred in our department, suggested the discussion about the opportunity of endoscopic operative procedures in choledocholithiasis and in biliary tract surgery complications. Improvement of endoscopic operative procedures allow extensive indication of ERCP sphincterotomy instead of traditional choledochoduodenostomy or transduodenal papillosphincterotomy. Additionally, operative endoscopic procedures are good alternative to reoperation for traditional biliary tract surgery complications.

Abstract
Mirizzi syndrome is a rare variant of obstructive jaundice due to compression of the hepatic duct caused by a stone inserted in the cystic duct or in the Hartmann recess and it is referred with a prevalence of 0.05-1% of patients with cholelithiasis. These percentages are, nevertheless, unreliable because only an accurate preoperative cholangiography allow to detect a Mirizzi syndrome and so, very often, the real cause of the jaundice remains unacknowledged. Early diagnosis of the syndrome is particularly important because it suggests an accurate and prudential surgical approach considering the frequent fibrotic adherences caused by chronic inflammation. In this paper the authors present a clinical case quickly and successfully cured operative endoscopy, followed by traditional surgery. The authors believe that the study of obstructive jaundices must include an ERCP either for the diagnosis or because operative endoscopy could ameliorate clinical feature and hepatic performance in order to allow a safer surgical operation.

Abstract
The paper reports a case of non-Hodgkin's primary lymphoma of the adrenal gland which is justified by the rarity of this pathology as can be seen from the literature. Following adrenalectomy and subsequent polychemotherapy, a complete remission of the disease was obtained. The Authors report that, in the absence of particular symptoms, diagnosis is generally based on X-ray examinations performed to clarify the causes of aspecific symptoms such as, for example, fever and asthenia. Lastly, it is underlined that the disease may be diagnosed during surgery when CT reveals the presence of an adrenal mass with a diameter of more than 3 centimetres.
