Research interests |
Experimental research
carried on guinea pig, rat, rabbit and the dog, faced many aspects
of general surgery: starting examined experimental cholestasis in
guinea pig. At Unité de Recherches de Pathologie Digestive
31 INSERM, Marseille, he studied the effects of vagal acute and chronic
electrostimulation on the pancreatic secretion in the anaesthetized
or awake dog, proving the existence of inhibitories vagal fibers;
effects of chronic stimulation of splanchnic and pneumogastric nerves
on the pancreatic secretion in the dog; effects of gastrointestinal
hormones and smoke on Oddi’s sphincter by electromyography in
the rabbit; design and carrying out a new cannula for collecting pancreatic
juice; a new surgical procedure of biliare manometry in the rat enclosed
in the Bolman’s capsule in normal and pathologic state.; models
of acute pancreatitis and pharmacologic experimentation.
Clinical
relating, he has carried out research about conservative
treatment of acute pancreatitis, the news diagnostic techniques, the
digestive motility and in particular of the transposed digiunal handles
after total gastrectomy or on biliary tree as hépatico-jejuno-duodeno-plastic
operation; about Fortner’s techniques of regional pancreatectomy
(1984) and digestive reconstruction after Whipple’s procedure,
in particular pancreatic remnant stump’s treatment (1986); about
laparostomy and “zipper” in acute pancretaitis (1986),
about the role of biliopancreatic jonction in the pancreatic carcinogenesis
on Whipple’ surgical specimens (1987); about rectal lymphoscintigraphy
and surgical local treatment of cancer of rectum, Recent interest
carried into bariatric surgery and into peroperative intraperitoneal
chemio-hyperthermia for the treatment of the peritoneal carcinosis. |
