Purpose: Microvascular free tissue transfer has become a reliable technique for the reconstruction of complex wounds. Occasionally, unexpected intraoperative thrombosis and/or spasm of recipient artery might be annoying problems even for the technically competent microvascular surgeons. If such problems are not treated properly, they will inevitably cause to flap failure. Methods: From January 2006 to February 2007, soft tissue reconstructions by free tissue transfers were performed on 21 patients having complex defects in the lower extremity. Although segmental revision and various pharmacologic agents were repeatedly applied, arterial occlusions were not managed in 6 cases. For removal of thrombi and release of spasm, Fogarty No. 2 or No. 3 catheters were inserted into the lumen to the proximal recipient artery. Its balloon was then inflated after passing through a resistant area. Next, the catheter was gently withdrawn backward. Results: After the Fogarty catheter was inserted two or three times, the pulsatile arterial flow was restored. When the catheter was inserted into the lumen, a feeling of resistance existed in a 5-10cm more proximal portion that could not be easily accessed from the vascular end. After the reestablishment of blood flow, successful anastomoses were achieved and immediate rethrombosis or spasm did not occur. No long-term sequelae associated with balloon trauma to the arterial wall were observed. Conclusion: The use of the Fogarty catheter can be an effective method in treating pedicle thrombosis and spasm. This is a very simple and rapid technique that offers microvascular surgeons another option to increase the success rate of microvascular anastomosis in free tissue transfers.

The anomalous pancreaticobiliary duct union (APBDU) might cause the formation of choledochal cyst and malignancies of hepatopancreaticobiliary system. The purpose of this study is to make an experimental animal model of APBDU similar to that of human. One to two-month-old Mongrel dogs (n=12) were divided into two groups; the control group (n=2) had a sham operation performed, and in the experimental group (n=10) the end of distal ' common bile duct (CBD) was anastomosed to the side of the dorsal pancreatic duct making APBDD. Serum was obtained for chemical analysis on the 10th postoperative day. The dogs were sacrificed at the 5th week (n=3), the 6th week (n=3), the 7th week (n=2), the 8th week (n=2) and the 6th month (n=2) after the experimental surgery. With sacrifice, operative cholangiogram was taken, and bile juice was obtained for chemistry and bacterial culture. The en-bloc specimens of the hepatopancreaticobiliary system were removed for microscopic examination. Serum and bile juice amylase levels were elevated in the experimental group(n=10), but not in the control group(n=2). Operative cholangiograms of control group revealed no evidence of bile duct dilatation.. On the other hand, the bile duct in the experimental group was markedly dilated without any evidence of stenosis at the anastomosis site (n=10). Histologic examination of the hepatopancreaticobiliary system in the experimental group resembled the findings of choledochal cyst in human. The APBDU of this animal model can produce bile duct dilatation by pancreaticobiliary reflux. We think that this animal model can be potentially promising for the research about the APBDU associated hepatopancreaticobiliary diseases.

Forty three patients with disease of the aorta were admitted in this department during the period from beginning of 1956 to the end of 1976. They consisted of eighteen cases of aortic aneurysms, eight cases of Takayasu's arteritis, eight Leriche syndromes, six dissecting aneurysms, two aortic coarctations and one case of vascular ring. Of eighteen aortic aneurysms, twelve were operated resulting in eight survivors. Three of four mortalities were in shock preoperatively because of aneurysmal rupture. Among six dissecting aortic aneurysms, four were type III and two were type I according to DeBakey's classification. For the purpose of relief of acute arterial insufficiency in the lower extremities, a re-entry operation grafting a Y-shaped dacron vessel between abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries was performed. The patient regained consciousness soon after the operation and was well until postoperative second day, when severe convulsion developed abruptly and died. And in a chronic case of type III dissecting aneurysm, a dacron graft bypass shunt between ascending aorta and lower descending thoracic aorta with resection of the aneurysm was performed, but acute severe aortic insufficiency developed soon after the operation and fell into intractable heart failure resulting in death. The cause of the aortic insufficiency seems to be retrograde dissection from the proximal anastomosis site in the ascending aorta. Three cases were treated medically with Wheat's regimen. Two of them survived with relief of symptoms. Eight patients of Takayasu's arteritis were all females and aged between twenty and forty-four averaging twenty nine. Bypass graft operation between aortic arch and carotid arteries using Y-shaped nylon prostheses were performed in three patients resulting in death in two cases postoperatively due to severe cerebral arterial insufficiency during the procedure. All the patients with Leriche syndrome were males and over forty. In two cases, bypass graft with Y-shaped dacron vessel between terminal aorta and common iliac or femoral arteries were performed with good result. Thromboembolectomy or thromboendarterectomy was employed in three patients, of whom one was aggravated in sexual problem postoperatively. One out of two aortic coarctations and a vascular ring were treated surgically with excellent results.

이론적으로는 공장이나 근막피부판 혹은 근육피판이 여러 차례 실패한 식도재건의 재시도에 사용할 수 있는 장기지만, 다른 장기들도 식도의 대체 장기로 이용이 가능한지 고려해 보아야 한다. 우리는 21년 전 선천성 식도 폐쇄증의 식도 교정술 후 식도협착이 발생되어 식도재건술과 수 차례의 복부 및 경, 흉부 수술을 시행받은 24세의 여자 환자에게 2차 식도재건술을 성공적으로 시행하였다 식도의 재건은 남아 있는 변형된 위를 재단하여 피하경로를 통해 좌측 경부로 올렸으며, 상부 식도에 측 단문합하였다. 환자는 수술 후 일반 식사를 할 수 있는 상태로 호전되어 퇴원하였다.

Purpose: It has been reported that the ear perfusion can maintain by a very small pedicle because the ear has good vascularized system. Replantation of an amputated ear with vascular anastmosis, has been reported before and offers the succeessful reconstructive results. But, in this paper we report a case of complete nonmicrosurgical salvage of a nearly amputated ear based on 7 mm-wide small skin pedicle with adjunctive therapies. Methods: A 49-year-old man was referred with a nearly complete detachment of left ear. The blood supply to the ear was maintained exclusively on 7 mm-wide small skin pedicle in the lobule. After we identified the fresh bleeding at the distal margin of the detached ear, we performed the primary repair. At the end of the procedure, the areas of the concha bowl and helical root appeared to be congested. So the immediate postoperative treatment for improving the tissue survival was done with Lipo-Prostaglandin E1 (Eglandin$^{(R)}$) injection, leech apply and antibiotics medications. Results: Assessment of the replanted ear on postoperative day 14 revealed a nearly viable auricle including the helical root. The ear appeared to be entirely healed, with excellent projection and fully restored normal elasticity. Conclusion: We found the complete salvage of a nearly amputated ear based on 7 mm-wide small skin pedicle with adjunctive therapies including Lipo-Prostaglandin E1 (Eglandin$^{(R)}$) injection, leech apply and antibiotics without microsurgery.

Segmental defects of the tibia after open fractures, sepsis and a tumor surgery are among the most difficult and challenging clinical problems. Tibia defects in these situations are complicated with infection and are resistant to conventional bone grafting techniques. The aim of this study is to report the results and discuss the role of free flap followed by ipsilateral vascularized fibular transposition (IVFT) for reconstruction of tibia defects. Ten patients had free flap followed by IVFT in the period 1989~2007. Mean age was 25.3 years. The patients were followed for an average of 3.4 years. All flaps were survived including 1 case with venous thrombosis requiring additional surgery. The average time to union of proximal and distal end was 5.2 months, 8.2 months, each other. All transposed fibula were viable at last follow-up. IVFT offers the advantages of a vascularized graft. In patients with large bone and soft tissue defects combined with infection, free flap followed by IVFT is an useful and reliable method without microvascular anastomosis.

배경: 경동맥 내막절제술은 심한 경동맥 협착증이 있는 환자에서 발생 가능성이 높은 뇌졸중을 예방하는 데 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으나 술 후 사망이나 뇌졸중 등의 심각한 합병증을 유발할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 경동맥 협착증에 대한 수술적 치료의 결과를 분석하여 향후 수술의 합병증을 줄이고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 2월부터 2004년 7월까지 경동맥 협착증으로 한 명의 술자에 의해 경동맥 내막절제술을 시행 받은 74명(76예)의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 남자가 64명, 여자가 10명이었고 평균연령은 63.6세($40{\sim}77$세)였다. 경동맥 내막절제술만을 시행한 경우가 63예, 내막절제술과 함께 패취를 이용하여 경동맥 성형술을 시행한 경우가 8예, 내막절제술과 함께 경동맥의 일부를 절제한 후 단단 문합한 경우가 5예였다. 수술 중 동맥내 션트는 29예에서 사용되었다. 총경동맥과 외경동맥을 겸자한 후의 평균 내경동맥 역류압은 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 있었던 25예(A군)의 경우 $23.48{\pm}10.04$ mmHg이었고, 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 없었던 51예(B군)의 경우 $47.16{\pm}16.04$ mmHg이었다. 두 군 간의 내경동맥 역류압의 평균치는 통계학적으로 차이가 없었으나 (p=0.095) 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 나타난 환자의 내경동맥 역류압은 모두 40 mmHg 이하였다. 내경동맥 역류압에 관계없이 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 없으면 동맥내 션트를 시행하지 않고 수술하였다. 합병증은 일시적인 설하신경 마비 4예, 기존의 뇌경색 부위에 발생한 뇌출혈 2예, 경미한 뇌경색 1예, 봉합 부위의 혈액 누출에 의한 혈종 1예, 술 중 과도한 견인에 의해 유발된 것으로 생각되는 후두 부종에 의한 상기도 폐쇄 2예였다. 기존의 뇌경색 부위에 발생한 뇌출혈 2예 중 1예는 응급 수술을 시행한 경우로 뇌출혈이 심해 보존치료 도중 사망하였다. 결론: 경동맥 내막절제술은 수술 사망률이 낮은 비교적 안전한 수술 방법이다. 허혈성 뇌손상을 예방하기 위해 사용되는 동맥내 션트는 내경동맥 역류압보다는 뇌파의 허혈성 변화 여부에 따라 사용되어야 한다고 생각한다. 후두 부종을 예방하기 위해 수술 중 과도한 견인을 피하고 수술 직후 혈압을 엄격히 관리해야 하며, 후두 부종이 의심되면 작은 구경의 튜브를 이용한 기관 삽관이나 응급 기관절개술 등을 통하여 신속하게 기도를 확보해야 한다.
