[The clinical x-ray parallels in traumatic diaphragmatic hernias].
An experience with diagnosing and treatment of traumatic diaphragmatic hernias in 68 patients (63 of them operated upon) is discussed. The leading role belongs to roentgenological examination of organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Lethality in free diaphragmatic hernias was 2.4%, in incarcerated hernias--52.4%.

[Diaphragmatic ruptures in combined injuries to the chest and abdomen].
An experience with diagnosing and surgical treatment of 16 patients with rupture of the diaphragms is described. Operations were performed on 13 patients, 10 of them by the laparotomy access, 3 patients by the transpleural access. In patients with an extensive rupture of the diaphragm continuous respiratory insufficiency was observed in the postoperative period which required the artificial ventilation of the lungs. Eight patients died, 3 of them without an operative treatment, 3--from pulmonary complications and 2--from a cerebro-cranial trauma.

[Prolonged spinal anesthesia in patients with a high surgical-anesthesiological risk].
In order to prolong the time of spinal anesthesia (SA) and to reduce the doses of local anesthetics a method of catheterization of the subarachnoid space was used in 73 patients. The SA was performed as a fractional infusion of 2% solution of lidokain. Its doses were within the range of 7-11 ml. The prolonged SA is considered to be an adequate method of anesthesia in patients with high risk of the development of neurological, cardiovascular and pulmonary complications.
