Between 1975 and 1992, forty five patients with trachea stenosis received tracheoplasty for relief of obstruction. The causes of airway problem are brain contusion[19 cases, 40%], cerebrovascular disease[3 cases, 7%], drug intoxication[8 cases, 18%], psychotic problem[2 cases, 4%], trachea tumor[3 cases, 7%], adult respiratory distress syndrome[9 cases, 20%] and direct trauma[1 case, 2%]. Direct causes of trachea stenosis were complications of tracheostomy[36 cases, 80%], complications of nasotracheal intubation[5 cases, 11%], tumor[3 cases, 6%] and trauma[1 case, 2%]. Thirty one patients underwent the sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Five patients performed a wedge resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Forteen patients received the Montgomery T-tube for relief of airway obstruction. Four patients have done simple excision of granulation tissue. Two, subglottic stenosis patients were received Rethi procedure[anterior division of cricoid cartilage, wedge partial resection of lower thyroid cartilage and Montgomery T-tube molding] and the other subglottic stenosis patient underwent permanent trachea fenestration. Including cervical flexion in all patients postoperatively, additional surgical techniques for obtain tension-free anastomosis were hyoid bone release technique in two cases, and hilar mobilization, division of inferior pulmonary ligament and mobilization of pulmonary vessel at the pericardium were performed in one case. Cervical approach was used in 39 cases, cervicomediastinal in 12 cases and transthoracic in one case. Complications of tracheoplasty were formation of granulation tissue at the anastomosis site[3 cases], restenosis[9 cases], trachea-innominate artery fistula[2 cases], wound infection[2 cases], separation of anastomosis[2 cases], air leakage[3 cases], injury to a recurrent laryngeal nerve[temporary 8 cases, permanent 2 cases] and hypoxemia[1 case]. Surgical mortality for resection with primary reconstruction was 6.7%, with one death due to postoperative respiratory failure and two deaths due to tracheo-innominate artery fistula.

목적 :본 연구에서는 부산대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 성문상부 편평상피세포암으로 진단받고 근치적 방사선치료를 받은 환자들을 대상으로 방사선치료 성적과 여기에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 인자들을 비교 분석하여 성문상부암에서의 방사선치료의 효율성과 역할, 그리고 앞으로의 치료방침의 결정에 있어서 고려해야 할 부분들을 알아보려 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1985년 8월부터 1996년 12월까지 성문상부암으로 진단되어 근치적 방사선치료를 받은 환자 32예를 후향적 분석을 통해 최소 29개월간 추적관찰 하였다. 6MV 광자선을 이용하여 조사영역 축소치료법과 통상적 분할조사 방법으로 원발부위와 주위 경부림프절을 평균 70.2 Gy로 치료하였고, 이중 13예는 cisplatin과 5-FU로 유도 항암화학요법을 시행받았다 병기별로는 1기가 5명(15.6$\%$), 2기가 10명(31.3$\%$), 3기가 8명(25$\%$), 4기가 9명(28.1$\%$)이었다. 결과 : 연구 결과 5년 전체 생존율과 국소제어율, 성문보존율은 각각 51.7$\%$, 65.2$\%$, 65.6$\%$였고, 병기별로의 생존율은, 1기, 2기, 3기, 4기 각각 80$\%$, 66.7$\%$, 42.9$\%$, 25.0$\%$였고, 국소제어율은 각각 100$\%$,60.0$\%$, 62.5%$\%$ 44.4$\%$였으며, 성문보존율은 각각 100$\%$, 70$\%$, 62.5$\%$, 44.4$\%$였다. 유도 화학요법을 실시한 군과 방사선 단독 군에서 생존율, 국소제어율 등에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 못했다. 치료실패를 보인 환자 중 7예에서 구제적 수술을 시행했고 이 중 3예에서 성공하였다. 치료 중 화학요법을 병용한 1예에서 중성구감소증으로 입원하였으며, 그 외에는 grade 3 이상의 급성 독성은 관찰되지 않았고, 치료 후 2예에서 심한 후두부종으로 기관절개술을 받았다. 원격전이는 4예에서 보였고(폐 3예, 뇌 1예), 2예에서 이차성 원발암이 발견되었다. T병기와 N병기, 총방사선량, 그리고 종양의 육안적 소견 등이 유의한 예 후인자였다. 결론 . 다른 연구들의 결과와 비교해 보았을 때, 조기 성문상부암인 경우 방사선치료와 보존적 수술이 생존율과 국소제어율에 비슷한 결과를 보이므로 후두기능 보존의 효과가 좋은 방사선치료 단독으로도그 역할을 충분히 할 수 있다 하겠으며, 진행된 병기의 경우에서는 방사선 단독 치료가 수술과의 병합 치료보다 예후가 월등히 좋지 않게 나타나므로 가급적 수술과 방사선치료 병합요법을 시도하는 것이 좋겠으나, 방사선치료를 해야만 하는 경우에서는 성문보존율과 국소제어율을 향상 시킬 수 있는 화학요법과의 병용치료, 특히 동시 화학방사선치료와 다분할 방사선치료, 그리고 방사선 민감제 등을 이용한보다 더 폭 넓은 연구와 치료계획의 수립이 필요하다고 하겠다.

Schwannoma is a benign well-encapsulated tumors arising from the sheath of Schwann cell of the peripheral motors, sensory, and cranial nerves, but not from the optic and olfactory nerves. Since it is relatively common in the head and neck region, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of head and neck tumor. However, reports of laryngeal involvement have rarely appeared in the literature. We have experienced a 50-year old woman and 39-year old woman with history of progressive voice change. We recognized a benign mass at the false cord area with the telelaryngoscope and CT. The tumors were successfully removed by transoral CO2 laser resection without tracheotomy.

Schwannoma, also known as a neurilemmomas or neurinomas, is benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors arising from the Schwann cells. About 25~45 % of all schwannomas are found in the head and neck region, and the majority are found in the parapharyngeal space. Schwannoma of the larynx is very rare with an incidence of 0.1~1.5% in all benign laryngeal tumors. Recently, we experienced a case of a pedunculated schwannoma arising from the left aryepiglottic fold in a 80-year-old patient. The tumor was completely excised under direct laryngoscopy with the use of a $CO_2$ laser and subsequently confirmed as schwannoma. So, we report this case with a review of the literatures.

The records of 67 patients who had been operated as an esophageal cancer during the period from 1973 to 1989 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. The results were summarized as follows ; The age ranged from 28 years old to 80 years old. The highest incidence was 5th decades, then 6th decades, and the incidence of male was 10 times as the incidence of female[M:F= 10.16: 1]. The locations were lower esophagus 44%, middle esophagus 38.8%, upper esophagus 11.9% and cervical esophagus 4.4% The frequent symptoms were dysphagia [88%], epigastric or substernal pain and discomfort [29.8%], weight loss [20.8%], and laryngeal dryness [1.4%]. The most common interval between the onset of dysphagia and admission was 2-3 months; 82% of patients was within 6 months, The cancer consisted of stage I [3%], stage II [11.9%], stage III[47.6%], and stage IV [33.7%] The resectability of cancer was 67%. The organs of substitute were stomach in 21 cases, right colon 6 cases, and jejunum in 8 CRSCS. The relation between invasion of tumor and lymph node metastasis was analyzed: mucosal involvement: 1 case/2case, muscle invasion; 0/2 full thickness; 4/6, adjacent structure 7/12. Postoperative complications were pneumonia, pleural effusion, hoarseness, mediastinitis, anastomosis site leakage, reoperation due to stenosis, chylothorax, empyema, mechanical ileus, wound infection, meat impaction at anastomosis site, and repair of gastrostomy site leakage. Adjuvant therapies were irradiation [15cases], chemotherapy [14cases], and Bougie dilatation [4 cases],

Bronchoplastic procedure has been considered as an appropriate surgery for traumatic bronchial disruption and occasionaly for primary bronchial tumors or tuberculosis because it can bring preservation of pulmonary tissue for patients without compromising the chance for cure. Nowadays bronchoplastic procedure is also applicable for the selected cases of bronchogenic carcinomas with favorable long term survival, when compared to standard pneumonectomy.Eighteen bronchoplastic procedures were performed with or without pulmonary resection at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Catholic University Medical College, between 1990 and 1994. The patients were 11 men and 7 wemen with average age of 57 years [range, 19 to 71 years . Tumor comprised 56% of the lesions, including 6 squamous cell carcinoma [33% , 2 bronchial adenoma [11% , 1 leiomyoma and 1 metastatic osteogenic sarcoma. Cicatrical stenosis secondary to endobronchial tuberculosis and traumatic disruption occurred in 6 [33% and 1 patient respectively.Applied bronchoplastic procedures were as follows ; sleeve lobectomy, 8 cases [right upper : 6, left upper : 1, right middle : 1 : bronchial segmental resection without pulmonary resection, 2 cases : sleeve bi-lobectomy, 1 cases :patch dilating bronchoplasty with or without concomitant lobectomy in 7. There was no perioperative mortality. Morbidity in 4 patients included 1 transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, 1 unstability of bronchial patch resulting atelectasis of afftected lung and 2 bronchial stenosis of anastomotic site.Throughout our experiences, we feel strongly that bronchoplastic procedure is a safe and effective surgical method preserving normal pulmonary tissue below affected bronchus for the wide range of various bronchial lesion including selected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma with acceptable complication and mortality.

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.

Extensive lymphnode dissection combined with thoracic esophagectomy improved prognosis of esophageal cancer, but there is still high postoperative recurrence rate. The immunologic capacity of esophageal cancer patients is compromised by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Therefore immunological therapy for esophageal cancer patients seems rational. We have adopted postoperative immunochemotherapy since 1988. From 1988 to 1992, 31 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer underwent esophagectomy and radical lymphnode dissection, and selected patient with early esophageal cancer and unfit for thoracotomy underwent transhiatal esophagectomy in Korea University Hospital. Mean age of patients was 56 years. There were 28 squamous cell cancers, 2 adenocarcinomas and one mixed tumor. There were 4 stage I, 3 stage II, 18 stage III, and 6 stage IV cases. There were no opeartive death. Postoperative complications included anastomotic leakage in 9%, pneumonia 3 %, cylothorax 3%, recurrent laryngeal neve paresis in 3% of all patients. Curative resection group[n=19] received immunotherapy. Noncurative resection group[n=12] received postoperative immunochemotherapy, including PS-K, CDDP, and 5-FU. Operative survivors were followed from 4 months to 5 years. There were 3 lost of follow-up. Actuarial survival rate is 79% to one year, 54% to two years and 27% to five years.In conclusion, an transthoracic esophagectomy combined with systematic lymph node dissection and postoperative immunochemotherapy could improve survival rate for esophageal cancer.

The supraglottic subtotal laryngectomy represents a conservation laryngeal procedure in which the upper portion of the larynx is removed without sacrificing the normal functions of the remaining larynx. The basis for this procedure rests in the embryologic derivation and consequent anatomic compartmentalization of the larynx and its lymphatics, which limit tumor spread. This procedure is performed for carcinoma involving the epiglottis and false cords, and can be extended to include carcinomas of the aryepiglottic fold and the anterior and lateral walls of the pyriform sinus and selected lesions involving the vallecula and base of the tongue. Recently the authors has experienced 4 cases of supraglottic cancer, which were performed supraglottic subtotal laryngectomy. One of which was died because of local recurrence, and the remaining cases were successful with satisfactory rehabilitation without local recurrence and impairment of voice and swallowing.
