Purpose: With the introduction of H. pylori eradication and proton pump inhibitor, the operative treatments for the acute or chronic complications of peptic ulcer, such as perforation, bleeding and stricture, have decreased. Also owing to the development of non-operative treatment such as interventional endoscopic treatment, the surgical approach to the acute complications, like perforation and bleeding, has diminished. The non-operative treatments for the stricture and obstruction of chronic peptic ulcer in part related to discontinuation of medication have not been satisfactory. We analyzed the clinical outcomes of the patients who underwent operative treatment for outlet obstruction with peptic ulcer. Materials of Methods: From January 1994 to December 2007, we reviewed 31 patients who had been operated on at the National Medical Center for peptic ulcer obstruction. We excluded the cases of adhesive obstructions that were caused by a former ulcer operation and also the cases of obstructions found during emergency operations for treating perforation and bleeding. We classified the surgical treatment group into the bypass operation group and the surgical resection group. We evaluated the effects of the operations by the Visick score. The recurrences were confirmed only by the endoscopic observation of peptic ulcer. Results: The number of patients in the bypass operation group was 6 (19.4%) and that of resection group was 25 (80.6%). The mean age was 57.5 (25~81) years. The number of male patients was 29 (93.5%) and the number of females was 2 (6.5%). The mean symptom duration was 29.6 months. There were 19 smokers (61.3%), 6 NSAID users (19.4%) and 7 H. pylori positive patients (22.6%). Two patients underwent endoscopic balloon dilatation with no success. The locations of lesion were the stomach, the duodenum and both in 9, 20 and 2 cases, respectively. There were operative complications in 13 cases (41.9%), recurrent ulcers in 2 cases (6.5%), and reoperations in 4 cases. The mean Visick score was 1.8 (1~4). There were no statistically significant clinicopathologic differences between the bypass operation group and the resection group. The two groups had 1 case each of recurrence. Although the bypass group had a greater complication rate (83.3%) than the resection group (32%), this was not statistically meaningful (P=0.175). The mean Visick score was 3.0 in the bypass group and 1.6 in the resection group, so the resection group was better (P=0.001). Conclusion: For a case of chronic peptic ulcer with outlet obstruction, even though it has been reported that endoscopic balloon dilatation worked well, surgery is still regarded as an important treatment. If you consider the patients' satisfaction and the difficulty of diagnosing malignant ulcers, surgical resection should be recommended more often than a bypass operation.

Nasal fossae 의 암이란 비강과 부비동들에서 발생하는 것으로서 환자를 가장 괴롭히며 또한 가장 믿을수 없는 악성종양들중의 하나이다. 비록 본 예수병원 암환자 등록부에 의하면 전 암환자의 2.2% 발생빈도로서 주요한 발생빈도를 보이지는 않지만, 이 부위의 암을 치유하는데는 세심하고 철저한 모든 진단적 검사와 과감한 외과 및 치료방사선의 병합치료가 요구된다. 저자들은 지난 22 년간 비강 및 부비동 (Nasal fossae) 에서 발생한 원발성 악성종양중 치유목적의 근치수술을 시행한 68 예를 임상고찰 하였다. 근치수술을 시행했던 68 예중 91% 에서 제 3 병기 또는 4 병기의 진행된 경우 이었다. 외과적 수술은 한예의 사골동 (篩骨洞) 종양적출술 및 부분상악동(上顎洞)절제술 한 예를 제외한 66 예 모두에서 전상악동(全上顎洞)절제술 (total maxillectomy) 또는 확장 전상악동(全上顎洞)절제술 (extended total maxillectomy) 을 시 하였다. 저자들은 역학적(疫學的), 병리학적(病理學的), 병기(病期) 및 치료, 재발율과 생존율들을 분석 고찰하였으며 3가지 치료형태를 서로 비교하였다. 즉 수술만 시행한 군, 수술전 방사선 치료 및 수술병합군, 수술과 수술후 방사선치료 병합 군으로 나눴다. 저자들의 예비적 (preliminary) 관찰 결과는 2 년간 무병생존율 (disease-free 2-year survival) 만을 볼때, 수술만 시행한 군에서 40%로써 통계학적으로는 가장 좋았으나 실제는 수술만 시행한 군에서는 단지 40%만이 제 4 병기(病期)의 진행된 경우였으나 수술전 방사선치료 또는 수술후 방사선치료등의 병합치료에서는 제 4 병기(病期)의 진행된 상태가 무려 60 %나 되었다. 전체적인 재발율 (Overall recurrence rate) 은 68.2%로써 무서울 정도로 높았으며 전체적인 2 년 무병율은 23.7%였다. 저자들은 이 분야에서 실패의 원인분석과 치료방법의 선택등에 대한 지침을 제시하고저 한다.

Purpose: The reparability of rotator cuff tears is very important to establish the indication of the surgical treatment of rotator cuff tears. We reviewed the factors that effect to reparability of rotator cuff tears, and considered about the surgical indication of rotator cuff tears. Materials and Methods: The reparability was considered by the surgical reparability and the postoperative healing potentials of rotator cuff. The natural history of rotator cuff tear gives us the information to make decision about the surgical treatment or the conservative treatment. Results: There are 3 general categories of factors that help predict the healing potential of a rotator cuff tear. These include surgical technique, biology, and environmental issues. Surgeon can control the surgical technique by himself. The control of biology comes from careful operative indications by age, acute trauma history, chronicity, and tear size. And the control of environmental factor can give better outcomes by cessation of smoking and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Conclusion: A better understanding of the natural history and the reparability of rotator cuff tear will help us to estabilish the indication of surgical treatement of rotoator cuff tears, and lead to satisfactory clinical outcomes.

부비동에 발생하는 악성종양은 자각증상이 비교적 늦게 나타나 병변이 많이 진행된 후에 발견되는 경우가 대부분이다. 진행된 부비동압의 치료는 수술, 화학요법, 방사선요법의 병용치료법이 종래부터 시도되어왔으며 대부분의 경우 광범위한 수술적 절제가 필요하여 이에 따른 후유증이 크고 치료결과는 아직 많은 논란이 있다. 저자들은 진행된 부비동암 (T4)환자 10명에서 유도화학요법 (Cisplatin, 5-FU)후 수술 (상악절제술 4예, 두개안면 절제술 1예 )과 방사선 치료 (약 7000 cGy)를 받은 5명과 유도화학요법후 방사선치료만 받은 5명을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 수술을 포함한 병용요법을 받은 환자 6명중 3명은 평균추적기간 28개월 동안 재발의 증거가 없었으나 2명에서 국소재발이 있었고 이들은 국소 절제술 및 방사선치료후 현재 1년 이상 무병상태이다. 2. 수술을 포함한 병용요법을 받은 환자 5명중 4명에서 초진시 안와내 종양침윤의 소견이 있었으나 수술시 안와를 보존하였고 그 후 안와 부위의 국소 재발은 없었다. 3. 유도화학요법과 방사선치료만을 받은 5명 모두 6개월 이내에 국소재발하였다. 4. 진행된 악성 부비동암은 수술을 포함한 병용요법으로 좀 더 좋은 치료성적을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: We studied to decide the operative indication of the metastatic tumor in pelvis according to the oncologic results, the Eastern Cooperative Oncologic Group (ECOG) performance status and complication. Materials and methods: From May 1994 to May 2003, 9 patients who were performed on palliative treatment and 10 paitents on operative treatment due to metastatic tumor of pelvic bone were investigated. On palliative/operative group, the mean age of patients was 57.6/48.0 years old and the ratio of male to female was 5:4/7:3. Primary origins were 3 cases from kidney, 3 from cervix and 2 of lung, 2 of myeloma, 2 of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and 1 from breast, bladder, testis, prostate, stomach, liver and retroperitoneal leimyosarcoma respectively. The palliative treatment was performed in 5 cases with radiotherapy, 1 with chemotherapy, 2 with combined chemo-radiotherapy and 1 with percutaneous cementation. The operative methods were 1 case of bone cement insertion after curettage, 2 of Girdlestone with internal hemipelvectomy and 7 of reconstruction after wide excision. Reconstructions were done.: 1 case of bone cementation, 5 of autograft prosthesis composite with irradiation or pastuerization and 1 of saddle prosthesis. We have observed the oncologic results, the ECOG performance status and complication. Results: The oncologic results of palliative/operative groups are NED 0/1, AWD 2/6, DOC 1/2 and DOD 6/1. The ECOG performance status was changed from 1.5 into 4.3 in palliative group and from 2.6 into 2.2 in operative group. The complications were 3 cases of the prosthesis failure and 2 of infection. Conclusion: The indication of operation of metastatic pelvic tumor is decided in consideration of the patient's condition, the grade of malignancy in primary tumor and the life expectancy.

Purpose: To report the clinical results of patients treated for a rupture of the distal tendon of biceps brachii Materials and Methods: Between February 1987 and March 2004, we treated 16 patients with a rupture of the distal tendon of biceps brachii. 9 of 16 patients underwent surgical treatment. All cases were male, median age was 26.3(range, 16-48) years. The mean interval between injury and surgery was 4.7 days (range, 1~36 days). Operative correction was performed anatomically, using the two-incision technique(3 cases) or one-incision technique(6 cases). Clinical outcomes were evaluated one year after operation by assessing the review about the physical examination finding and radiologic findings with surgical findings, range of motion, muscle strength, subjective satisfaction, activity and return to previous occupation. and via telephone interview in cases of conservative treatment. Results: In cases of surgical treatment, 85.8%, 86.3% of flexion-extension and supination-pronation motion than healthy side were measured respectively. 75% of flexion power than healthy side was measured. Eight of nine(89%) were very satisfied. Eightl of nine returned to original job. In cases of conservative treatment, 65% of flexion power than pre-injury state was reported. Four of seven were satisfied, two were dissatisfied, one was very dissatisfied. Three of seven returned to original job. Conclusion: Early anatomic reconstruction can restore more strength and endurance for supination and flexion range and power. Conservative management may be considered for partial injuries, but operative repair must be considered in complete rupture, athletes, patient with high activity.

Background: The incidence of cervical esophageal cancer is low compared with that of thoracic esophageal cancer, and the role of surgery for cervical esophageal cancer is limited compared with that of radiotherapy or chemotherapy. This study was carried out to determine the outcome of surgery for cervical esophageal cancer. Material and Method: We analyzed retrospectively medical records of 43 patients who had undergone curative surgical resection for cervical esophageal cancer from January 1989 to December 2002. Follow-up loss was absent and the last follow-up was carried out in February 28, 2004. Result: The mean age was 60 years old and the male to female ratio was 40:3. Histologic types were squamous cell carcinoma 42 patients and malignant melanoma 1 patient. The methods used for esophageal reconstruction were gastric pull-up 32 patients, free jejunal graft 7 patients and colon interposition 4 patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 31 patients (72%), and operative mortality occurred in 7 patients (16%). Pathologic stages were I 3, IIa 14, IIb 1, III 19, and IVa 6 patients. Tumor recurrence occurred in 16 patients (44%), and the 3 and 5-year survival rates were 29.3% and 20.9%. Conclusion: The reported surgical results for cervical esophageal cancer showed somewhat high operative mortality, postoperative complication rates and recurrence rates and a low long-term survival rate. It is suggested that multimodality treatment including surgery is needed for the treatment of cervical esophageal cancer because radiotherapy or chemotherapy without surgery could not relieve dysphagia or resolve the tumor completely.

견관절의 다방향 불안정성은 생역학 및 생화학적 이상의 복합적 요인에 의해 발생되는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이에 대한 보다 많은 연구가 이루어져야 될 것으로 생각된다. 최근 다방향 불안정성과 관련된 요소에 따라 분류가 세분화되어 치료가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 진단시 세심한 병력과 진찰이 매우 중요하며 이에 따라 치료 방침을 결정해야 할 것이다. 많은 환자에서 삼각근, 회전근 개, 견갑 안정화 근육을 강화시킴으로써 증상이 호전되나 비수술적 치료에 호전이 없는 경우는 관절 낭 이동술을 이용하여 비교적 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 일반적으로 개방적 술식이 다방향 불안정성을 위한 수술적 치료의 표준적 술식으로 알려져 있으나. 최근에는 여러 관절경적 술식이 개발되고 있고 이에 따른 중 단기 추시 결과도 비교적 좋은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이 술식에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해서는 많은 경험과 장기 추시 결과를 요한다.

Primary cardiac tumors are rare disease and they present nonspecific symptom. They are divided in benign and malignant tumors and require surgical therapy and/or additional therapy. From March 1995 to March 2003, twenty one patients were diagnosed as having primary cardiac tumors. We analysed them retrospectively in terms of various perioperative factors and early and late results. 6 men and 15 women and their average age was 45.44$\pm$18.76. Pathology revealed eighteen benign (fourteen myxoma, two fibroelastoma, one hemangioma and one paraganglioma) disease and three malignant (one angiosarcoma, one mesothelioma and one myxofibrosarcoma) disease. There was one (myxoma) operative mortality and three late death (hemangioma, angiosarcoma and mesothelioma) during additional therapy and follow up. Surgical treatment of primary cardiac tumor is important and sometimes additional therapy is required but the prognosis of malignant cardiac tumor is still very poor.
