목 적 : 신생아실에서 만삭아에 준한 경과 관찰 후 퇴원한 후기 조산아들의 재입원과 관련된 위험 요인과 재입원 원인을 알고자 연구를 계획하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 일신 기독 병원 신생아실에서 만삭아에 준한 경과 관찰 후 퇴원한 후기 조산아들 중 생후 28일 이내에 재입원하였던 135명의 신생아들의 의무 기록지를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 재입원의 위험 요인을 알고자 대조군과 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 : 재입원과 관련된 위험 요인 연구에서 재태주수, 출생 체중, 성별, 분만 방법, 산모의 나이, 교육 정도, 결혼 여부, 진통과 분만 과정상의 합병증은 관련이 없었고, 모유 수유(71.9% vs 44.4%), 짧은 신생아실 경과 관찰 기간($3.3{\pm}1.6$일 vs $4.1{\pm}2.0$일), 초산모(60.0% vs 45.3%)와 임신 합병증이 있었던 경우(31.9% vs 18.8%) 통계적으로 유의하게 재입원율이 높았다. 재입원 시점은 출생 후 평균 $6.2{\pm}3.6$일로, 출생 5-6일 사이에 재입원하는 경우가 40.7%로 가장 많았다. 재입원 시 83.7%가 황달을 주소로 입원하여 가장 흔한 원인이었고, 자연 분만(43.4% vs 1.8%), 산모의 나이가 적은 경우($29.8{\pm}3.4$세 vs $32.1{\pm}4.2$세), 임신과 관련된 합병증 동반이 적은 경우(28.3% vs 50%)가 황달로 인한 재입원과 관련 있었다. 결론 : 후기 조산아들의 재입원과 관련된 위험 요인은 모유 수유, 짧은 신생아실 경과 관찰 기간, 초산모와 임신 합병증이 있었던 경우였고, 재입원 시점은 평균 $6.2{\pm}3.6$일, 가장 흔한 재입원 원인은 황달이었다.

Group B Streptococcal sepsis and/or meningitis is one of the most serious and common diseases in the neonatal period with high mortality and frequent complications. We have experienced a case of late onset type group B streptococcal sepsis and meningitis with a complication of subclavian vein catheterization catheterization. This 29-day-old male neonate was admitted to intensive care unit with the presentation of fever and septic shock. He was born with Cesarean delivery at 36 weeks and 3 days of gestational age. He showed multiple episodes of seizure after admission and group B streptococcus was isolated from blood. CSF profiles 10 days after admission showed the features of bacterial meningitis without organism isolated. Diffuse cerebral infarction was detected on brain CT 24 days after admission. In the 13th hospital day, the complication of subclavian vein catheterization occurred; Guide wire was cut during insertion and the distal portion of it(2.5cm) was retained in the left subclavian vein. We removed the retained guide wire with goose-neck snare catheter via right femoral vein. This case was presented with a brief review of the literatures.

Alloplastic implants have been used to repair orbital wall fractures in most cases. Orbital hemorrhage is a rare complication of these implants and has been reported rarely in Korea. The purpose of this article is to report a late complication case focusing on their etiology and management. A 20-year-old male patient underwent open reduction with Medpor (porous polyethylene) insertion for bilateral orbital floor fractures. The initial symptom occurred with proptosis in the right side as well as vertical dystopia, which had started 4 days earlier, 8 months after surgery. Any trauma history after the surgery was not present. We performed an exploration and removal of hematoma with Medpor titanium meshed alloplastic implant. A case of delayed orbital hematoma following alloplastic implant insertion was identified. It occurred within the pseudocapsule of the implant. One week after surgery, overall symptoms improved successfully, and no complications were reported during the 11-month follow-up period. Although rare, orbital hemorrhage is a potential complication of alloplastic orbital floor implants, which may present many years after surgery. As in the case presented, delayed hematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of late proptosis or orbital dystopia.

목적 : 초기 자궁경부암은 수술과 방사선치료 모두 가능하며 결과도 비슷하다고 알려져있다. 이에 근치적 방사선치료를 받은 초기 자궁경부암 환자의 생존율, 실패율, 부작용등을 다른 결과와 비교하기 위하여 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 근치적 방사선치료를 시행한 자궁경부암 IB 48명과 IIA 32명을 대상으로 하였다. 1985년 11월 부터 1993년 5월 까지 등록된 환자들로 최소 추적기간은 2년이었다. 외부전골반 방사선치료를 40-50Gy 시행후 3가지 다른 1회 조사량으로 고선량 강내치료를 시행후, 추적조사하여 생존율, 실패양상과 합병증등을 분석하였다. 결과 : 5년 생존율과 5년 무병 생존율은 각각 $72.3\%,\; 72.8\%$였으며 예후인자는 병기 병소의 크기, 병리조직 (선암), 방사선치료의 반응이었다. 19명의 치료실패가 있었으며 대부분 24개월이내에 발생하였다. Grade 2이상의 만성합병증은 방광이 $8.8\%$, 직장이 $15\%$, 모두 $17.5\%$ 였으며 발생율과 심한 정도는 강내치료 1회 조사량과 총 선량에 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 결론 : 초기 자궁암의 방사선치료는 수술의 결과와 비슷하였으며 예후가 나쁜환자는 결과가 안좋아서 더 적극적인 치료방법이 필요하며 만성 합병증을 줄이기 위해서는 적절한 질 packing 등으로 주위조직의 방사선 피폭량을 줄이고 고선량 강내치료시 적절한 1회 조사량의 선택이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

Through the advent of surgical techniques and the improvement of laparoscopic tools including the ultrasonic activated scissor, laparoscopic gastrectomy has been increasingly used in far more cases of benign or malignant gastric lesions for the benefit of patients without compromising therapeutic outcomes. Even though possible complications provoked by the ultrasonic activated scissor can be prevented during the procedure with increasing advanced laparoscopic experience and supervision, unexpected late complications after the operations rarely occur. An extremely rare case of left incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia of the transverse colon developed in an 81-year-old female patient as a late complication, 8 months after laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with laparoscopy successfully resumed and without the need to sacrifice any portion of the bowel.

From September 1980 to July 1986, 135 cases of cardiac valve surgery were performed under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Out of 135 cases, single valve surgery was 114 cases including open mitral commissurotomy 17, mitral annuloplasty 2, mitral valve replacement 85, and aortic valve replacement 10 and double valve surgery was 21 cases. There were 68 males and 67 females ranging from 9 to 57 years of age. Early death within 30 days after operation was 17 cases [12.6%] and caused of death were ventricular arrhythmia 5, low cardiac output syndrome 4, excessive bleeding 3, pulmonary complication 2, and so on. Among 118 early survivors, 5 cases [5.1%] of late death were developed over a period of 2 to 72 months, and main cause of death was fatal bleeding complication associated with anticoagulation therapy. Symptomatically, 91.8% of patients were in NYHA functional class I or II at the end of the follow-up.

Tracheo-gastric fistula is a very rare late complication of total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy with gastric pull-up procedure. It usually occurs after transhiatal esophagectomy, but it has only rarely been reported after total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy with gastric pull-up procedure. Chronic irritation and gastric ulcer may be the cause of tracheogastric fistula. To prevent fistula formation, active management of gastric ulcer and avoidance of mucosal irritation are necessary. We report a case of a tracheogastric fistula which occurred two years after total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy with gastric pull-up procedure that maybe occurred by chronic irritation and gastric ulcer.

The CarboMedics valve is a bileaflet prosthesis with excellent hemodynamic characteristics, but the long term surgical experience with this valve, its durability and its biocompatibility are unknown. During a 5 year period from october 1988 to July 1993, 748 prostheses [402 mitral, 261 aortic, 58 tricuspid, 27 pulmonic] were inserted in 552 patients [mean age 40.2 years]. The operative mortality was 6.6% [37/560, 13.2% in age group below 15 years and 5.7% above 15 years]. and the main causes of death were complex congenital malformation and left ventricular failure. Follow up was totaled 1182 patient- years and mean follow up was 28.3 months/patient. No structural failure has been observed. Hemorrhage was the most frequent valve related complication[1.78% / Patient-year]. Embolism occurred at a rate of 0.93% / Patient-year. There were 5 cases of valve thrombosis [0.42% / Patient-year, two fatal]. There occurred 11 late deaths[6 valve related] and 42 valve related complications. Actuarial survival at 5 years is 97.18 0.94% and actuarial complication free survival at 5 years is 89.07 1.54%. In summary, the CarboMedics valve stands for a durable valve substitute, with low valve related complications.

Radiation therapy is an effective treatment modality for malignant disease of the head and neck, but it is not without risk and complication. Response of the larynx to radiotherapy varies from mild erythema to severe inflammation with edema and induration. possibly leading to necrosis of cartilage. These changes are due to an inflammatory reaction characterized by infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, vascular thrombosis, and obliteration of lymphatic channels. Late changes consist of telangiectasia of the skin, alopecia, loss of subcutaneous fat, degenerative changes in the connective tissues. But, radiation necrosis of laryngeal cartilage is an uncommon complication and it is a devastating process for which further necessitates surgical treatment. It is generally agreed that the only treatment for patient not responding to conservative measures is a total laryngectomy. We experienced 4 cases of delayed radionecrosis of the larynx who underwent radiation therapy for glottic cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer. We report these cases with review of literature.
