RESUMEN
Between 1976 and 1994, 139 cases of diving goiter were operated. Hyperthyroidism is a factor in compression. Morbidity is low for surgery for diving goiters, but increases if performed in emergency situations. Cervicotomy was used alone in more than 99% of the cases.

The authors report about a series of 7 cases of acquired tracheobronchial stenosis in premature infants who were intubated as soon as they were born and ventilated. Two important points can be pointed out: the merits of bedside bronchography, which allows diagnosing the lesions, the merits of balloon dilatation during tracheobronchoscopy on the ENT operating theatre to treat the stenosis. This technique allowed improving ventilation and removing the tube in 6 of 7 cases.

On the basis of a retrospective study of 354 basal-cell epitheliomas of the eyelids, we present a study of the most frequently used treatments: surgery, conventional radiation therapy and curietherapy. The results of treatment, both functional and oncological, are generally satisfactory, whatever the method chosen, but with a set of arguments in favor of surgery. The major therapeutic indications are discussed, without formally ruling out any treatment.

The medical treatment of radiation-induced osteitis is advocated by all, with highly variable practical modalities. In our historical series, we have noted 12 good results out of 48 patients treated. In the light of R. Dambrain's work, we have used a procedure associating two antibiotics to Calcitonin during more than two months, with encouraging results.

Cystic chondromalacia is a clinical and histopathological entity which can be clearly distinguish from all other cystic lesions of the auricle. We report a case which was clinically asymptomatic and involved the scaphoid fossa of the anterior surface of the pinna. The pathological process consisted of degenerative changes of the auricular cartilage which produced a cavity containing a serous fluid. No etiologic factor was found, in particular no trauma. The posterior wall of the cyst was excised under local anesthesia. This case allowed us to review the clinical, histopathological features and surgical difficulties of this rare lesion.

129 patients, who had oral cavity or oropharyngeal carcinoma underwent excision with intraoperative histopathologic examination. Thanks to this method, the number of satisfying resections has increased from 25% to 75%. Whatever the quality of the surgical excision may be, postoperative radiotherapy improves the prognosis.

The authors report about one case of intrinsic congenital stenosis of the trachea in a newborn. The prognosis of tracheal stenosis in infants is poor, more so when it is congenital and intrinsic, because it is often extensive and associated with other malformations, especially of the right mainstem bronchus and of the right lung. The prognosis of such extensive stenoses, for which surgery constantly resulted in death, has been improved by a new type of tracheoplasty (Kimura-Tsugawa, 1982). However, these children can only be operated with this procedure once they are through intensive care and acute respiratory distress, often in the neonatal period.
