위암은 한국에서뿐만 아니라 세계적으로도 가장 중요한 암 사망 원인의 한가지로 보고되고 있다. 현재까지 외과적 수술이 위암에 대한 유일한 근치적 치료수단으로 인정되고 있으며, 가능한 한 조기에 발견하여 근치적 절제술을 시행하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 근치적 수술을 위한 술기의 표준화 및 각 수술 술기의 우열에 대한 논란이 현재까지 그치지 않고 있으나, 여기에서는 한국 및 일본에서 가장 보편적으로 인정되고 있는 위암에 대한 수술 치료의 원칙을 기술하고자 한다. 위장 절제술은 위아전절제술과 위전절제술로 대별되며 절제연은 종양의 침윤이 없는 충분한 정상조직을 확보하여야 하고 주변 림프절의 동반절제가 포함되어야 한다. 병변의 상태에 따라 주변장기의 동반절제와 광범위한 림프절 곽청술이 요구되기도 한다. 소화관의 복구는 구조적 혹은 기능적인 면에서 환자의 삶의 질과 밀접한 관련을 가지므로 상황에 따라 적절한 방법의 선택을 요한다. 술 후 환자의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서 저침습성 혹은 최소한의 절제를 목적으로 하는 새로운 술기들이 소개되기도 하였다. 유문보존 위절제술, 복강경을 이용한 위설상절제 및 위아전절제술, 내시경점막절제술등을 그 예로 들수 있으며, 이러한 시술의 적응증과 안전성은 향후 임상성적의 분석을 통해 정립되어야 한다. 근치적 절제술이 불가능한 위암환자에서는 환자의 고통감소와 경구적 영양 섭취를 위해서 고식적 수술을 시행할 수 있으며, 특히, 진행성 위암에 의한 합병증으로 인해 생명이 위태로운 경우에는 응급수술이 요구되기도 한다. 진행성 위암은 수술적 치료를 하더라도 예후가 불량하므로 조기에 발견하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 최근, 한국에서는 상부 위장관에 대한 내시경 시술의 보편화로 전체 위암에서 조기위암이 차지하는 비율이 향상되고 있으며, 적절한 근치적 수술을 통해 위암의 생존율이 향상되고 있다.

Purpose : This study was conducted to analyze the clinical materials and treatment results of 13 cases of subungual exostosis. Materials and Methods : Thirteen subungual exostoses of the foot treated from January 1991 to December 1997 were studied. We analyzed the clinical data and results of treatment to identify the clinical characteristics of this disease. We investigated the location, shape and relation of exostosis to phalanx with simple x-ray of the foot to identify the radiological characteristics. All the cases were sent to pathologic examination after resection to determine the pathological characteristics. Results : The results of physical examination on presentation were various. Most cases were located at the dorsomedial side of the distal phalanx and were involved in the toe nail. Eleven cases were located at great toes and one each at the 2nd and 3rd toe. Causes of exostosis were not clear, but 2 cases were related to trauma. For the type of exostosis, 7 cases were sessile and 6 were stalk type. On histologic examination, 9 cases showed a cartilaginous portion with overlying proliferating fibrous tissue and underlying bone formation. There was a gradual maturation of spindle cell proliferation from cartilage to cancellous bone. The cartilage was moderately cellular with some pleomorphism, but true anaplasia was not present. Conclusion : The clinical presentation and findings of simple x-rays were most helpful in diagnosing subungual exostosis. Complete excision of the mass achieved complete relief of symptoms and recovery without recurrence in all cases.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of pulmonary lobectomy combined with pulmonary arterioplasty by complete video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in patients with lung cancer, and summarize its surgical methods. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with lung cancer in Beijing Chest Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from Feb., 2010 to Jun., 2013 were selected, males and females accounting for 15 and 6 cases, respectively. Ten underwent right upper lobectomy, 5 right lower lobectomy, 4 left upper lobectomy (in which left upper sleeve lobectomy was conducted for 2) and 2 left lower lobectomy. At the same time, local resection of pulmonary arterioplasty was performed for 12 patients, and sleeve resection of pulmonary arterioplasty for 9. Results: Twenty-one patients recovered well after surgery. Thoracic drainage tube was maintained for 3-8 days, with an average of 4.9 days, and hospital stays were 8-15 days, with an average of 11 days. There were no deaths in the perioperative period, and the complications like pulmonary embolism, bronchopleural fistula, chest infection and pulmonary atelectasis did not occur after surgery. Conclusions: Performance of pulmonary lobectomy and pulmonary arterioplasty together by complete VATS is a safe and effective surgical method, which can expand the indications of patients with lung cancer undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy, and make more patients profit from such minimally invasive treatment.

위암의 치료에 있어서 근치적 절제는 완치를 위한 유일한 방법이나 불행이도 많은 환자들이 국소적이나 혹은 타 장기로 전이된 상태로 발견된다. 이런 경우에는 근치적 절제술의 시행이 매우 어렵고 선행 화학요법을 시행하여 병기를 낮추려는 시도가 고려되어야 한다. Docetaxel은 반합성 택산으로 튜불린의 중합 반응을 유도하고 미세관의 해중합 반을을 방해함으로서 그 작용을 나타낸다. 현재 전이성 위암의 신행화학요법에서 docetaxel의 사용이 많이 시도되고 있고 그 반응률이 보고되고 있다. 본 교실에서는 docetsxel과 cisplatin 병용요법을 시행하여 전이성 위암의 부분 관해로 근치적 절제가 가응하였던 2예를 보고하는 바이다.

Objective : Meningioma is the second most common primary central nervous system neoplasm. In contrast, chordoid meningioma is rare; due to the paucity of cases, little is known about its clinical features or treatment outcomes. The objectives of this study were to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes for patients with chordoid meningioma. Methods : In total, 16 patients, with newly diagnosed chordoid meningioma who underwent surgical excision between 1999 and 2012 were included. We retrospectively evaluated the medical records, radiological findings, and pathological findings. The median follow-up period was 56.5 (range, 3-170) months. The MIB-1 labeling index ranged from 1 to 26.60% (median, 5.04). Results : Simpson grade I, II, and III resections were performed in four, nine, and three patients, respectively. The overall recurrence rate was 37.5%. Overall progression-free survival (PFS) after resection was 94.7 months (95% CI=62.9-126.6). Of the 4 patients with Simpson grade I resection, recurrence occurred in one patient. Among the Simpson grade II and III resection groups, eight patients underwent adjuvant radiation therapy and they showed significantly longer PFS (121 months, 95% CI=82.1-159.9) than the patients who underwent surgery alone (40.5 months, 95% CI=9.6-71.3) by the log-rank test (p<0.05). Conclusion : Chordoid meningiomas are difficult to manage and have a high rate of recurrence. Complete resection of the tumor is a key determinant of better outcomes. Adjuvant radiation therapy is recommended, eparticulary when Simpson grade I resection was not achieved.

Background: This study investigated the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment of primary chest wall soft tissue sarcoma (CW-STS). Methods: Thirty-one patients who underwent surgery for CW-STS between 2000 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The disease-free and overall survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and prognostic factors were analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: The median follow-up duration was 65.6 months. The most common histologic type of tumor was malignant fibrous histiocytoma (29%). The resection extended to the soft tissue in 14 patients, while it reached full thickness in 17 patients. Complete resection was achieved in 27 patients (87.1%). There were 5 cases of local recurrence, 3 cases of distant metastasis, and 5 cases of combined recurrence. The 5-year disease-free rate was 49%. Univariate analysis indicated that incomplete resection (p<0.001) and stage (p=0.062) were possible risk factors for recurrence. Multivariate analysis determined that incomplete resection (p=0.013) and stage (p=0.05) were significantly associated with recurrence. The overall 5- and 10-year survival rates were 86.8% and 64.3%, respectively. No prognostic factor for survival was identified. Conclusion: Long-term primary CW-STS surgery outcomes were found to be favorable. Incomplete microscopic resection and stage were risk factors for recurrence.

To systematically review the reported outcomes and complications of different treatment options for choroid plexus arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), specifically focusing on surgical resection and endovascular embolization. A systematic literature review was performed using a PubMed query for studies published between January 1975 and July 2021. All studies describing the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of confirmed choroid plexus AVM cases were included. A total of 20 studies were included in the final analysis. Of these, 18 were single-patient case reports, one article contained two patients, and a single study was a cohort of 24 patients. Patient age ranged from one day to 61 years, with a mean of 31.8±20.4 years. Most choroid plexus AVMs were located in the lateral ventricles (14 patients, 70.0%), while there were four (20.0%) located in the third ventricle, and two in the fourth ventricle (10.0%). Almost all patients were treated with surgical resection (18 patients, 90%). In 14 patients (77.8%), complete resection of the AVM was achieved. A residual AVM was reported in one case (5.6%). Most patients were reported to have improved from their presentation status over time (14 patients, 70.0%). Presence or absence of long-term sequelae (e.g., neurologic deficits) were reported for 14 patients (70%). Eleven of these patients (78.6%) were reported to have no neurological sequelae. While data on choroid plexus AVMs remains limited, the available evidence suggests gross total resection of lesions in this location can be safely achieved with subsequent reduction in preoperative symptoms.

Heterotopic ossification is formation of bone in atypical extra-skeletal tissues and usually occurs spontaneously or following neurologic injury with unknown cause. We report a 46-year-old female with right shoulder pain and restricted range of motion (ROM) for 3 months without history of trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lesion within the rotator cuff supraglenoid. Excisional biopsy from a previous institution revealed a heterotopic ossificans (HO). Following repeat MRI and bone scan, histopathology from arthroscopic resection confirmed an HO. The patient demonstrated improved pain and ROM at follow-up. Idiopathic HO rarely occurs in the shoulder joint, and resection of HO should be delayed until maturation of the lesion to avoid recurrence. The current case showed that arthroscopic HO resection provides an excellent surgical view to ensure complete lesion removal and minimize soft tissue damage at the supraglenoid area. Furthermore, the minimally invasive procedure of arthroscopy may reduce rehabilitation time and facilitate early return to work.

Cancers of the cervical esophagus occur uncommonly, but treatment is remaining a challenging problem and surgery demands special knowledge of abdominal, thoracic, and neck surgery. The primary risk factor is chronic heartburn, leading to a sequence of esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, reflux esophagitis and etc. Among the various treatment modalities, Surgery is still a mainstay of treatment. The main aim of surgery is not only oncologically adequate resection but also preservation or restoration of physiologic functions, such as deglutition and phonation. Surgical treatment of cervical esophageal cancer is influenced by special problems arising from tumor factors, patient factors and surgeon factors. Complete clearance of loco-regional disease and prevention of postoperative complications are of particular importance for the improvement of long-term survival in patients with these cancers. So the cervical and thoracic extension of these tumors usually required an extensive lymphadenectomy with primary resection. Radical resection of the primary site almostly include sacrifice of the larynx, but the voice could be rehabilitated with various methods, such as tracheoesophageal prosthesis or tracheoesophageal shunts, etc. Restoration of the esophageal conduit can be performed using gastric or colon interposition, radial forearm free flap or jejunum free flap, etc. Recently, the advances of radiation therapy and chemotherapy will enable less extended resections with greater rates of laryngeal preservation. At initial presentation, up to 50％ to 70％ of patients will have advanced locoregional or distant disease with virtually no chance for cure. Patients with advanced but potentially resectable esophageal cancer are generally treated by surgery with some form of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both, with 5-year survivals in the 20％ to 30％ range. So the significant adverse factors affecting survival should be taken into account to select the candidates for surgery.

Vascularized free fibula head transfer is an established method for reconstruction of long bone defects of the upper limb involving the distal radius or the proximal humerus. For the wrist following tumor resection, in cases of resection of the radial articular surface, three reconstructive options are possible: 1. fibular head transfer to replace the radial joint surface, 2. fixation of the fibula to the scaphoid and lunate, 3. complete wrist fusion. The decision on the type of the operation depends on the amount of the resection and the remained normal anatomical structures, and also the necessity of function of the wrist in the future. The authors believe that the vascularized free fibula head graft is a safe and reliable method for reconstructing the upper limb, especially for patients with a defect of the distal radius, and report the operative methods, donor vascular consideration, complications, and functional result after this operation.
