배경: 식도-위 접합부에 존재하는 고압력대는 위-식도 역류를 예방하는 중요한 역할을 하는데 주로 하부 식도 괄약근이 관여한다. 그러나 하부 식도괄약근이 제거된 환자에서 횡격막 crura가 고압력대로 나타나 괄약양의 역할을 하는 지를 알아보기 위하여 식도 내압을 측정하였다. 대상 및 방법: 식도-위 절제술을 시행받은 환자 22명과 대조군으로 정상 성인 3명을 대상으로 식도 내압을 측정하였다 결과: 대조군은 3명 전원에서, 환자는 22명중 12명에서 고압력대가 나타났는데 Ivor-Lewis법 수술을 시행받은 환자보다는 좌측 개흉을 시행받은 환자에서 많이 나타났다. 고압력대의 위치는 환자군에서 비강으로부터 42.5$\pm$0.9cm로 대조군과 비슷한 위치에서 나타났으나, 길이는 2.13$\pm$0.6cm로 대조군 보다 짧았다. 고압력대의 압력은 station pull-through technique(SPT), rapid pull-through technique(RH)에 의해 측정한 결과 각각 13.78$\pm$1.63mmHg, 28.58$\pm$6.06 mmHg로 대조군 보다낮았으며, 부분적으로 연하에 의해 이완되고(84.4%), 복압증가에 의해 수축하는 양상을 보였다. 결론: 하부 식도 괄약근이 제거된 경우에도 횡격막 crura에 의해 흉복부 접합부에 고압력대가 나타나며, 이 횡격막 crura가 괄약양 역할을 하기 때문에 식도-위 절제술후 손상된 횡격막 crura의 복구를 시행함으로써 위-식도 역류를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A hemothorax usually occur, due to injuries to the intercostal and great vessels, pulmonary damage, and sometimes fractured ribs. We report a case in which the hemothorax that occurred, neither intrathoracic injury nor injury to internal thoracic vessels and organs, via lacerated diaphragmatic and liver laceration due to a right upper part of anterior chest stab injury caused by a sharp object. The patient's general conditions gradually worsened, so chest and abdominal computed tomogram were taken. The abdominal computed tomogram revealed diaphragmatic injuries and bleeding from the lacerated liver. We performed an exploratory laparotomy to control the bleeding from the lacerated liver with simple primary sutures. In addition exploration was performed in the right pleural space through the lacerated diaphragm with a thoracoscopic instrument. There were no bleeding foci in the right pleural space, the vessels, or the lung on the thoracoscopic video. Closure of the lacerated diaphragm was achieved with simple, primary sutures. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and the patient was discharged.

배경: 외상에 의한 횡격막 파열은 사회환경의 변화로 점차 증가하는 추세이며 이 질환의 조기발견 및 치료에 대한 많은 연구가 행하여지고 있다. 이에 저자들은 횡경막파열로 수술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 후향적 조사를 하여 조기발견 및 치료에 도움을 얻고자 본 연구를 시작하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 1월부터 1998년 4월까지 본원 흉부외과교실에서 술전 및 술후 외상성 횡경막파열로 진단 받은 20례의 환자를 대상으로 하여 술전 임상양상과 진단율, 동반질환 및 술후 합병증 등을 조사하였다. 결과: 사회활동력이 왕성한 연령의 남성에서 많이 발생하였으며 둔상 75%, 관통상 25%이었다. 좌측횡경막파열 16례(80%), 우측 3례(15%), 양측 1례(5%)였으며 증상으로는 흉통 및 호흡곤란이 가장 많았다. 술전 진단은 10례(50%)에서 가능하였으며 술중 진단 6례(30%), 만기 진단 4례(20%)였다. 술후 창상감염이 가장 많은 합병증이었으며, 사망은 2례가 있었다. 결론: 외상 후 조속한 진단을 위해 임상증상 및 흉부 단순촬영상 이상소견이 의심되면 지속적인 관찰과 검사가 필요하며 동반질환의 치료를 위해 관련된 과간의 협조가 필수적이라고 사료된다.

The records of 25 patients with traumatic diaphragmatic injuries seen at Chosun University Hospital from February 1977 to May 1991 were reviewed. We treated 20 male and 5 female patients ranging in age from 6 to 72 years. The diaphragmatic injuries were due to blunt trauma in 19 cases[traffic accident 13, fall down 4, compression injury 2] and penetrating trauma in 6 cases[stab wound 5, gun shot 1]. Most common symptoms were dyspnea[72%], chest pain[56%] and abdominal pain [40%], Chest X-ray were normal in 7 cases[28%] and 22 cases[88%] were diagnosed or suspected as diaphragmatic injuries preoperatively. The repair of 25 cases were performed with thoracic approach in 16 cases, thoracoabdominal approach in 6 cases and abdominal approach in 3 cases. Postoperative complications included atelectasis, wound infection and empyema. there was no postoperative death.

A 5-year retrospective study of 14 patients with diaphragmatic injuries revealed 9 blunt and 5 penetrating injuries. In the blunt trauma group, 7 were left and 2 were right side. The penetrating diaphragmatic wound consist of 3 left and 2 right sided. Sex ratio was 11: 3, with male predominanace. Preoperative diagnosis was possible in 9 cases and delayed diagnosis [greater than 24 hours occured in 5 cases.Simple chest X-ray was diagnostic or highly suggestive in 7 cases. 7 cases were diagnosed diaphragmatic injuries by computed tomography, fiuroscopy or by explorative operation. All of the cases had association injury. 11 cases of diaphragmatic ruptures were corrected through thoracotomy and 3 cases needed exploratory laparotomy. One death occured after operation due to associated injuries and respiratory failure. Blunt and penetrating diaphragmatic injuries remain a diagnostic challenge and associated injuries, delayed diagnosis determine the outcome.

Twenty-three patients with traumatic diaphragmatic injuries treated at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center from Aug. 1978 to Nov. 1990 were reviewed. There were 19 male and 4 female patients. The age distribution was ranged from 1.5 to 72 years, with a mean age of 34.3 years. Sixteen patients had blunt trauma[traffic accident 14, fall down 2], and 7 had penetrating injuries[stab wound 6, broken glass 1]. Sixteen [70 percent]of the injuries occurred on the left side and 7[30 percent] on the right side. Fifteen patients were operated on during the acute phase, 5 patients during the latent phase, 2 patients during the obstructive phase. The surgical approach in 20 patients was through a thoracotomy; in 2 patients, a thoracoabdominal incision was necessary, and in 1 patient, a laparotomy was performed. Herniated organs in thorax included stomach[10], colon[5], small bowel[5], spleen[4], liver[2]. Postoperative complications included wound infection, empyema, pneumonia, hepatitis and respiratory failure. There were 3 postoperative deaths, 2 with cerebral dysfunction and 1 with sepsis.

13 cases of traumatic diaphragmatic ruptures were treated at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery in Lee-Rha general hospital, Cheong-Ju, Choong Cheong Buk Do, between Oct. 1989 and Feb. 1992. The above 13 cases were reviewed in this study. And the following results were obtained. 1. Sex ratio is 11: 2 with male dominance 2. The 9 cases were due to blunt trauma and other 4 cases were due to penetrating injury. 3. Right side injury was more common than left[7: 5] and there was 1 case of central type which ruptured through subepicardial diaphragm. 4. All of the cases had association injury. 5. Preoperative diagnosis was possible in the 9 cases and others were diagnosed during operation under other indication. 6. Finger exploration was one of effective diagnostic procedure. 7. All of diaphragmatic ruptures was corrected through thoracotomy and exploratory laparotomy was done in 6 cases. 8. A patient died after operation due to associated injuries.

Simple rib fracture is one of most common injury after blunt thoracic trauma found in approximately 7% to 40% of cases. Delayed traumatic diaphragmatic injury with massive hemothorax after rib fracture is rare but a potentially life-threatening condition. We present a rare case of a 79-year-old male with delayed diaphragmatic injury with massive hemothorax due to fracture of the lower ribs. Under thoracoscopy, hemothorax was evacuated, diaphragmatic rupture was identified and repaired, and the lower ribs were fixed with metal plate (s). Although simple lower rib fractures may be the only clinical finding, close observation and monitoring are required because of the possibility of diaphragmatic and/or intraabdominal organ injury.

We reviewed 10 cases of traumatic diaphragmatic injuries at Soonchunhyang University Gumi Hospital from January 1990 through April 1993. seven patients were male and three patients were female. The age distribution was ranged from 25 to 79 years, predominant 4th decades occurred in male. The traumatic diaphragmatic injuries were due to blunt trauma in 9 cases (traffic accident 7 and crash injury 2) and penetrating wound in 1 case (stab wound). The common symptom were dyspnea (60%), chest pain and abdominal pain in order frequency. In the blunt trauma and crash injury, te rupture site was all located in the left(9 cases). In the penetrating wound, the rupture site was located in the right(1 case). The surgical repair of 10 cases were performed with transthoracic approach in 9 cases and thoracoabodominal approach in 1 case. The postoperative mortality was 10% (1/10). The cause of death was multiple organ failure with pulmonary edema.
