목적: 양방향 내시경적 감압술(unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression, UBE)의 유용성을 증명하기 위해 수술의 임상적, 영상학적 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 요추 추간공 협착증으로 일측성 양방향 내시경적 측부 추간공 감압술(unilateral biportal endoscopic far-lateral decompression, UBEFLD)을 시행받은 20명의 환자들을 분석하였다. 임상적으로 시각통증척도(visual analogue scale, VAS), modified Macnab criteria, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), 영상학적으로 수술 전후 단순영상을 비교하여 intervertebral angle (IVA), percentage slip, disc height index (DHI), foraminal height index (FHI)를 분석하였다. 결과: VAS는 평균적으로 술 전 6.20에서 술 후 1개월 2.05, 3개월 1.75, 1년 1.45로 호전을 보였다(p<0.001). Modified Macnab criteria는 술 후 1개월 70.0%, 3개월 80.0%, 1년 85.0%의 환자들에서 good 혹은 excellent 판정을 받았다(p=0.034). ODI는 술 전 59.8%, 1개월 35.8%, 3개월 33.2%, 1년 17.1%로 호전을 보였다(p<0.001). IVA는 술 후 평균 0.40도 증가(p=0.057), percentage slip은 술 후 0.19% 증가하였다(p=0.134). DHI는 술 전 0.49에서 술 후 0.62로 증가(p=0.359), FHI 또한 술 전 0.71에서 술 후 0.79로 증가하였다(p<0.001). 결론: UBEFLD는 임상학적 및 영상학적으로 모두 만족스러운 결과를 보였으며 종래의 척추 유합술이나 현미경 추간공 성형술의 훌륭한 대체가 될 수 있음을 의미한다.

Osteomas are most often located in the femur, tibia, humerus, spine, and talus. They are rare in the skull. Osteomas in the head and neck regions are benign bone neoplasms usually found in the frontoethmoid area. The developmental theory postulates that osteomas develop at the sites of fusion of tissues different embryological origin such as occur at the junction of the embryonic cartilaginous frontal and ethmoid bones. Trauma and infection have also been implicated as causative factors, but many patients with osteoma deny any preceding history of these. Osteomas are usually produce symptoms primary to cosmetic problems and secondary to pressure on adjacent structures. The objects of this study are from a 5-year period of April of 2002 to April of 2007, consisting of 48 male patients and 52 female. There were 33 cases of frontal bone osteomas, 5 cases of madibular bone osteomas, 5 cases of occipital bone osteomas, 6 cases of symptomatic paranasal sinus osteomas, 48 cases of asymptomatic paranasal sinus osteomas, and 3 cases of mastoid osteomas. We reviewed medical records of patients to find out their presentations, diagnostic considerations, therapeutic options, and outcomes. Patients were followed up six months postoperatively on the average. The authors experienced 48 cases of osteoma in the head and neck lesion, which were removed via direct approach or endoscopic approach. The 100 cases who came to the hospital with or without symptoms after diagnosis healed completely without sequelae. During the follow-up periods, excellent functional and cosmetic results were observed with an inconspicuous scar. There was no specific complications related to this procedure. Results of surgery in most cases were satisfied. We discussed the surgical procedure and the characteristics of the osteomas, and we report several cases with the review of literatures.

Aim: To examine lymph nodes obtained after lipolysis and liposuction of subcutaneous fat of the inguinal region of female vulvar cancer patients to explore the feasibility of clinical application. Methods: The field of operation was on the basis of the range of the conventional resection of inguinal lymph nodes. We injected lipolysis liquid fanwise, started liposuction after 15-20 minutes; then the subcutaneous fatty tissue was sucked out clearly by suction tube. We selected the first puncture holes located on 2-3 cm part below anterior superior spine, the others respectively being located 3cm and 6cm below the first for puncturing into the skin, imbedding a trocar to intorduce $CO_2$ gas and the specular body, and excise the lymph nodes by ultrasonic scalpel. The surgical field chamber was set with negative pressure drainage and was pressured with a soft saline bag after surgery. Results: A lacuna emerged from subcutaneous of the inguinal region after lipolysis and liposuction, with a wide fascia easily exposed at the bottom where lymph nodes could be readily excised. The number of lymph nodes of ten patients excised within the inguinal region on each side was 4-18. The excised average number of lymph nodes was 11 when we had mature technology. Conclusion: Most of adipose tissue was removed after lipolysis and liposuction of subcutaneous tissue of inguinal region, so that the included lymph nodes were exposed and easy to excise by endoscope. This surgery avoided the large incision of regular surgery of inguinal region, the results indicating that this approach is feasible and safe for used as an alternative technology.
