The surgery in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease
La cirugía en el diagnóstico de la enfermedad de Hodgkin
Resumen:
Out of 150 cases of Hodgkin's disease treated in fhe Hospital de Clínicas from 1967 to 1973, 72 were submitted to diagnostic laparotomy. Thirty five of them ( 48.6 % ) underwent modifications of their clinical staging as a consequence of surgical findings, Twenty four (33 % ) pathologic spleens were found; 12 of them corresponded to patients in whom enlargement of the spleen was not evident. In 18 cases (25 % ) lymph nade involvement, which had not been clinically suspected, was found. Systematic laparotomy results then in abetter knowledge of the disease and in therapeutic plans more adjusted to its actual extension. On the. other hand, splenectomy means a reduce of the potentialrisks of a radiotherapy on the kidney and left pulmonary base. In the present series there was a morbility of 11 % and a mortality of 1.3 % .
De 150 casos de enfermedad de Hodgkin tratados en el Hospital de Clínicas entre 1967 y 1973, 72 fueron some tido,s · a laparotomía exploradora. De ellos, 35 ( 48.6 % ) sufrieron una modificación en su estadio clínico, como consecuencia de los hallazgos -operatorios. Se en,contraron 24 bazos patológicos (33 %), 12 de ellos en !}acientes sin esplenomegalia evidente, y adenopatías colonizadas no sospechadas clínicamente, en 18 c-aisos (25 o/o). La laparotomía sistemática permite, pues, un mejor conocimiento de la enfermedad v la realización de un plan terapéutico más ajÜstado a su extensión real. La esplenectomía a su vez supone una reducción de los riesgos potenciales de la radioterapia para el riñón y la base pulmonar izquierda. La morbilidad fue del 11 % y la mortalidad del 1.3 % en la presente serie.
