Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatic Duct Cannulation (Erpc): An Aid To Pancreatic Surgery, C. Grodsinsky, B. Schuman, B. E. Brush
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Retrograde endoscopic pancreatic duct cannulation for evaluation of patients with chronic pancreatitis is reviewed over the last two years. Of 40 patients that were endoscoped, 30 had a successful pancreatogram. The X-ray findings fell into three groups: 1) single and multiple stenosis, 2) diffuse narrowing, and 3) apparently normal duct. This procedure proved of value in ruling out or delaying surgical operation in 10 persons. Twenty-one patients underwent operations. Thirteen had a 95% pancreatectomy, one had drainage of a necrotic collection thought to be a pseudocyst and one had a pseudocyst resected. One had a gastrojejunostomy and vagotomy bypassing a …

Bupivacaine As A Local Anesthetic For Hernia Repair, Joseph L. Ponka, James A. Sapala
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is a safe, useful local anesthetic agent for repair of groin hernias. Prolonged anesthesia, lasting six hours or longer, was observed In 94 of WO patients. No toxic effects involving the central nervous system were observed using a 0.25% solution with epinephrine. Hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia occurred in one patient. Wound complications, such as hematomas and ecchymosis, were more common with Bupivacaine than when Chlorprocaine was used. However, painstaking hemostasis, which required ligation of even the tiniest blood vessels, reduced the wound complications. As experience is gained in the use of Bupivacaine, complications will be reduced to a …
