RESUMEN
Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in westernised countries. Its treatment is the subject of active, ongoing investigation within all treatment modalities, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We reviewed the charts of all patients treated in this university general surgical department for colorectal carcinoma, between January 1983 and December 2002. A total number of 494 patients with colorectal cancer were operated on, on an elective or emergency basis. Patients' demographics, clinical presentation, location of tumour, type of surgery, operative staging, pathology of tumour, outcome and follow-up were recorded and analysed.

The basic principles, methods, and results of treatment are reported from personal experience in the treatment of 32 patients with intrabiliary rupture of hydatid cysts of the liver. These patients were treated from 1970-1979 in Surgery I of the University of Thessaloniki. Total cystectomy combined with sphincteroplasty of the sphincter Oddi is the method of choice. The clinical data, special types of treatment, and indications are discussed. Reoperation during the same admission in some complicated cases is strongly recommended.
