Because of advancement of medical treatment, surgical management of gastric or duodenal ulcer was indicated for treatment of perforation, massive hemorrhage and obstruction. The distal gastrectomy including ulcer was known as principle method of duodenal ulcer obstruction, but actually many surgeons have performed only bypass surgery for the difficulty of formation of duodenal stump. In our case, 61-year-old male with repetitive duodenal ulcer obstruction transferred with obstruction due to deformities and inflammations of duodenal ulcer. We had performed totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with ROUX-EN-Y reconstruction using the clear visibility of laparoscopy and fine dissections of harmonic scalpel. The patient started soft diet on postoperative day 5 and discharged on postoperative day 8. He returned to work after discharging immediately.

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is defined as pancreatic tissue lacking anatomic and vascular continuity with the main body of the pancreas. Most are asymptomatic, but can cause ulcer, bleeding, intussusception, and mechanical obstruction. Herein, we presented one case of HP presented as duodenal tumor causing duodenal obstruction. A 7-year-old girl visited the emergency room for abdominal pain with vomiting for 24 hours. Computed tomography and upper gastrointestinal series revealed a polypoid mass with short stalk in the 2nd portion of duodenum. We attempted an endoscopic removal. However, the lumen was nearly obstructed by the mass and the stalk was too broad and hard to excise. The mass was surgically removed via duodenotomy. It was confirmed as a HP with ductal and acini components (type 2 by Heinrich classification). Postoperatively, the patient has been well without any complication and recurrence.

A total of 30 cases of the peptic ulcer in children, who underwent operations from January 1981 to December 1995 because of complications at Department of the Surgery, Chonbuk National University Medical School, is reviewed. Twenty-three were males (76.7%), 7 females (23.3%) and male was preponderant at 3.3:1. There were 25 cases (83.3%) age 10 to 15 years, 3(10.0%) between 2 and 9 years, and 2 (6.7%) below 2. The ulcer was located at duodenum in 27(90.0%), and at stomach in 3 cases (10.0%). Complications were perforation in 19 cases (63.3%), pyloric obstruction in 9 (30.0%) and bleeding in 2 (6.7%). For perforation, truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty was done in 11 cases, truncal vagotomy with hemigastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy in 6, and simple closure in 2 cases. For obstruction, truncal vagotomy with hemigastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy was done in 5, and truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty in 3 cases. For bleeding lesions, truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty was performed in 2 cases. Ten postoperative complications developed in 9 patients: adhesive ileus in 5, recurrence in 2, pneumonia 2, and wound seroma 1 case. One patient developed a primary duodenal perforation and another a recurrent obstruction. Both of patients had symptoms for more than 3 years and were treated with truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty for the primary operations. Hospital stay was 11.5 days for the patient with perforated ulcer, 11.0 days for the patient with pyloric obstruction, and 14.5 days for the child with bleeding. Average hospital period was 11.6 days. To reduce recurrences after operation, extensive procedure such as distal gastrectomy with vagotomy at the first operation should be considered in case with severe complication or with patients who have been symptomatic for long periods.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report bowel sound patterns recorded in 3 diseases associated with structural deformity of the pylorus-duodenum. Methods: : Bowel sound recording is a useful non-invasive tool for the evaluation of gastrointestinal motility. However, the difficulty in manual attachment of the electronic stethoscope on the abdominal wall and noise production against bowel sound signals have prohibited its widespread use. Therefore, I developed a new apparatus that eliminates the noise; it contains a sound absorbing device and a holder for the head of stethoscope. Using the new bowel sound recording system, bowel sounds of the patients were recorded repeatedly. The endoscopic and abdominal computed tomography findings were obtained from other hospitals' medical record, and all patients were confirmed to have structural deformity in the pylorus-duodenum. The records of each patient were compared and assessed. Results: : Patients had either duodenal ulcer scar, pyloric stricture, or far advanced malignant stomach cancer, as diagnosed by the gastroscopy. Their dominant frequency of bowel sound obtained from the new system was checked more than 2 times at regular intervals. All 8 recordings in the 2 patients with duodenal ulcer scar (5 times) or pyloric stricture (3 times) showed a decrease in postprandial than fasting dominant frequency. One patient with stomach cancer showed no significant change between postprandial and fasting states at 2 recordings. Conclusions: The analysis of dominant frequency in bowel sounds can indicate the existence of pyloric obstruction that could delay gastric emptying.

Ten consecutive patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm were treated in Chungnam National University Hospital from May of 1985 to June of 1993. Pulsating palable mass was the most common first sign [7 patients]. The ratio of male to female was 8:2. The age ranged from 53 to 73 years with mean age of 65 years. The etiology and location of the aneurysm was atherosclerosis and infrarenal aorta in all. Dacron graft interposition [straight graft-1, bifurcation graft-7] and wrapping with aneurysmal sac were performed in 8 patients. In one patient with infected abdominal aortic aneurysm, we performed aneurysmectomy and left axillo-bifemoral bypass with 8 mm PTFE graft. And in another patient with complete thrombotic obstruction of infrarenal aortic aneurysm, we performed the suturing of the proximal part of the abdominal aortic aneurysm and aorto-bifemoral bypass with 18 x 9 mm PTFE graft. There was one operative death with the mortality rate of 11 % and 8 complications in 4 patients; ARF[2], duodenal ulcer[1], mechanical ileus[1], genitourinary dysfunction[2] and wound infection with abdominal abscess[1]. Because of the high operative mortality after rupture of the aneurysm, we think it is better to operate on early at the diagnosis of abodominal aortic aneurysm is made.
