[Treatment of tumors of some structures of the splanchocranium]

The results of long experience with many methods of reconstructive surgery following destruction of various splanchnocranial structures are presented. Emphasis is placed on the usefulness of cooperation between the oncological and plastic surgeon. Fifteen cases are illustrated. In many of these, endoarterial infusion of chemical antiblastics was first employed. Since tumours may vary considerably in site and histological type, as well in the biotype, age and sex of the patient, and since a variety of radical and reconstructive techniques exist for individual or associated use, therapeutical programmes cannot be put forward with any degree of confidence, but must obviously be determined by the surgeon's personal experience.
