Clinical observation is made on the total 205 cases of foreign bodies in the air and food passages. The entire foreign body cases that had visited ENT Dept. of Han Gang Sacred Heart Hospital from January, 1972 to March, 1976 are included in this study. The results summarized are as follows: 1) The majority of the cases of foreign bodies are found in the food passage, 200 cases (97.6%) while in the air passage only 5 cases was present. 2) The most common foreign bodies in the esophagus was coin (90%) and in the air passage, the sorts of foreign bodies are bean, peanut, plastic bullet, corn and towel clip. 3) In the locality of foreign bodies, the first narrowing is the most frequent site in the esophagus. 4) The majority of the cases with esophageal foreign body is male (M:F 1.4 : 1), in the air passage (M:F 3:2). 5) The patients with esophageal foreign body visited within 3 days in 87%, and with trachiobronchial foreign body visited within a day in all cases.

Purpose: Since preoperative staging in esophageal cancer is important in both therapy and prognosis, there had been many efforts to improve its accuracy. Recent studies indicate that whole body FDG-PET has high sensitivity in detection of metastasis in esophageal cancer. Therefore, we added FDG-PET to other conventional methods in staging esophageal cancer to evaluate the usefulness of this method. Materials & Methods: Subjects were 142 esophageal cancer patients (average $62.3{\pm}8.3$ yrs) who received CT and PET just before operation. First, we compared N stage and M stage of the CT or PET with those of the post-operative results. Then we compared the stage according to the EUS (T stage) and CT (N and M stage) or SUS (T stage) and CT & PET (N and M stage) to that according to the post-operative results. Results: Among 142 patients, surgical staging of 69 were N0 and 73 were N1. In M staging, 128 were M0 and 14 were M1. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of N staging were 35.6%, 89.9%, 62.0% with CT and 58.9%, 71.0%, 64.7% with PET, respectively. In M staging, 14.3%, 96.9%, 88.7% with CT and 50.0%, 94.5%, 90.1%, with PET, respectively. The concordances of [EUS+CT] and [EUS+CT+PET] with post-operative results were 41.2% and 54.6%, respectively and there was significant improvement of staging with additional PET scan (p<0.005). Conclusion: The concordance of [EUS+CT+PET] with post-operative result was significantly increased compared to that of [EUS+CT]. Thus, the addition of FDG-PET with other conventional methods may enable more accurate preoperative staging.

Purpose : This study evaluated the survival, local control, prognostic factor, and failure pattern of patients with esophageal cancer treated with operation and adjuvant radiation therapy to use as fundermental data of postoperative radiation therapy. Materials and Methods : A retrospective analysis was undertaken of 82 patients who had locally advanced esophageal cancer treated with operation and adjuvant radiation therapy from January 1988 to December 1995. According to AJCC staging, stage IIA were in 26 patients, stage IIB in 4 patients, and stage III in 52 patients. Squamous cell carcinoma were in 77 patients, adenosquamous carcinoma in 3 patients, and adenocarcinoma in 2 patients. The patients received radiation therapy ranging from 41.0 Gy to 64.8 Gy. Five patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results : Two-year survival and local control rates for all patients were 36.8$\%$ and 30.4$\%$ respectively. And they were 9.3$\%$ and 26.3$\%$ respectively at 5 years. According to stages, 2-year survival rates were 50.2$\%$ in IIA, 0$\%$ in IIB and 23.3$\%$ in III (p=0.004). Two-year local control rates were 49.2 $\%$ in IIA, 66.6$\%$ in IIB and 24.7$\%$ in III (p=0.01). Sixty patients developed recurrence, which were 3 tumor margin, 23 lymph node recurrence, 4 tumor margin and lymph node, 1 tumor margin and distant metastasis, 9 lymph node and distant metastasis, 17 distant metastasis and 3 unknown metastatic site. Prognostic factors affecting survival were smoking (p=0.02), T-staging (p=0.0092), N-staging (p=0.0045). Prognostic factors affecting local control were T-staging (p=0.019), N-staging (p=0.047). Conclusion : In spite of post-operative radiation therapy, predominant failure pattern was local failure. Especially regional lymph node failure was major cause of local failure. So strategy of aggresive adjuvant radiation therapy to regional lymph node area in post operative treatment should be proposed.

Diffuse esophageal spasm[DES] is a rare disease, and its surgical management is controversial. We experienced one case of diffuse esophageal spasm with a large epiphrenic diverticulum. We resected the diverticulum with right side approach and underwent extended esophageal myotomy from the apex of the chest to 3 cm above the diaphragm. And then we preserved the LES without antireflux procedure.

선천성 횡경막탈장은 2000∼5000명의 신생아 당 한명 꼴의 발생율을 가진 드문 질환이다. 그 중 신생아에서 열공탈장은 더욱 희귀한 질환이다. 저자는 생후 1주일된 신생아의 선천성 복합열공탈장을 경험하였다. 진단은 빠른 시간내 이루어졌으며 수술은 우측 흉곽절제술을 통해 탈장된 장기를 복원하고 Belsey-mark IV 술식을 시행하였다. 환아는 술후 3일째 음식을 먹었고 퇴원 6개월후 지금까지 별 문제없이 잘 지내고 있다.

최근 전신마취의 발달로 외과영역에서는 괄목할만한 수술적 진전을 보여 왔으나, 이에 못지 않게 전신마취에 의한 여러 가지 합병증의 보고가 늘고 있다. 특히 이비인후과영역에서는 술후 뚜렷한 원인없이 사성 및 호흡곤란 등을 호소하는 환자들을 종종 접하게 되며, 추정할 수 있는 유인으로는 대개 후두 및 기관점막의 염증, 후두결절, 후두육아종 등이 대부분이나 때로 매우 희귀하지만 원인 불명의 성대마비로 인한 경우도 있다. 저자는 최근 술전에 전혀 후두증상이 없었던 환자로서 기관내 삽관마취하 이하선 혼합종수술후에 속발한 일측성 반회신경마비례를 경험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
