  • Purpose: Congenital midline upper lip sinus is a rare lesion. There are two postulates that can account for the formation of the upper lip sinus based on two major theories of the development of the face: the fusion theory and the merging theory. However, congenital midline lower lip sinus is very rarely reported and described. We report a case of a congenital midline sinus of the lower lip in a 6-year-old female. Methods: A 6-year-old girl presented with a nipple like swelling on the midline lower lip. Physical examination revealed about $5{\times}5$ mm protruding round mass with a just small opening that was non-tender to palpation. The mass was not associated with any skin changes. It umbilicated at the apex and contains a fistulous tract, discharging clear fluid. Only, simple radiologic finding shows bony spur on the lower one third of mandibular symphsis. Results: A small transverse ellipse is made around the opening and elevated mass with sharpe dissection. The tract is excised using the probe and dye as the guide. The tract was extended to periosteum of the lower one third of the mandible. The tract and involved periosteum were excised en bloc, and removed protrusion of the mandibular bone using diamond burr. Microscopic examination of the resected sinus revealed the fistulous tract itself, consisting of fibrous connective tissue covered with cornified stratified squamous epithelium, was observed in the center of the sample. In 6 months follow-up, This patient had a good result was obtained by the method of fistulectomy alone. Conclusion: Midline cranoifacial fistulas represent rare lesions resulting from abnormal fusion of embryologic structures. Our case report describes the excision of a congenital midline sinus of the lower lip in a 6-year-old female. This case represents the first report of a lower lip sinus presenting in a girl as a mass in the skin of the chin with extension to the midline of the mandible. However, the etiology of this rare congenital sinus remains obscure.

  • Aortoesophageal fistula is an uncommon and fatal complication after surgery of aortic aneurysm. A case of aortoesophageal fistula as a complication of synthetis patch aortoplasty for mycotic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta is described. After 3 months since patch aortoplasty for mycotic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta this patient visited the emergency room due to melena and hematemesis. After gastrofiberoscopy and computed tomography the patient was taken ot the operating room. The surgical intervention was performed in two steps. Median sternotomy and midline laparotomy were made. Hemashield's Dacron(16mm) bypass between ascending thoracic aorta and infra-renal abdominal aorta was established first. Through the posterolateral thoracotomy false aneurysm and previous Hemashield's Dacron patch of descending aorta were resected. The two ends of the aorta were sutured and esophageal fistula was repaired. The esophageal suture line and the stumps were covered with omental graft. Thirty months later the patient has had no difficulty referable to the aortic surgery.

  • Thirty-four consecutive cases of thyroglossal duct lesions in children were reviewed at the Department of Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital. Twenty patients were males, and the most prevalent age of discovering was 2 to 4 years (52.9%). Resection was performed within 2 years after discovering the lesions in 19 cases, but was delayed untill 4 to 10 years in 6 cases. Cystic lesions (85.3%) were 5.8 times more common than fistulas. A midline upper neck mass was found in every cystic cases, and a draining sinus at hyoid region was noticed in fistula patients. The location of the lesion was on the hyoid bone in 34 cases, at the midline in 31 cases, slightly to the left in 2 cases, and slightly to the right in 1. Two cases were misdiagnosed as lymphadenopathy, and a single case of ectopic thyroid gland was misinterpreted as a thyroglossal duct cyst. Modified Sistrunk operation was performed in twenty-three cases(67.6%), Sistrunk operation in 9(26.5%), and cyst excision in 2(5.9%). Postoperative complications occurred in 4 cases(11.8%); 2 wound infections and 2 recurrences. One of recurrences was a fistula treated by modified Sistrunk operation, and the other was a cyst treated by cyst excision.

  • Major advances in the management of anorectal malformations have been achieved during the last 20 years. Alberto Pena introduced the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) in 1982. He divided all the sphincteric muscles at the exact posterior midline and fully exposed the crucial anatomy. He was able to manage the associated fistula under direct vision with minimal urinary tract injury. The rectum could be placed in the middle of the sphincteric muscle complex. Even with PSARP by Alberto Pena himself, only 37.5% of all cases were considered totally continent. Anorectal malformation is still acontinuing challenge for the pediatric surgeons.

  • Clincal observation was made on 76 cases of thyroglossal duct cyst and fistula with brief review of literature. All of the cases were diagnosed and treated surgically in Kyung Hee University Hospital from 1971 to 1993. The following results were obtained. 1) Most cases were under 20 years old(72.3%). and 49(64.5%) cases were male and 27(35.5%) cases were female. 2) Morphologically cystic type were found in 60(78.9%) cases and fistula type were 16(21.1%) cases. 3) Fluctuating cystic mass and pus discharge from fistula on just below the hyoid bone at midline of anterior neck were most common symptoms and signs. 4) 9(11.8%) cases were recurrent type and 4(5.3%) cases were recurred twice, at the time of first visit. 5) There were 2(2.6%) cases of having connection with the thyroid gland which were identified grossly on the operation field. 6) The entire cases were operated according to the Sistrunk procedure under the general anesthesia. 7) There was no recurrence and other complication except 4(5.3%) cases of wound infection.

  • In Van der Woude syndrome (VWS), a rare congenital disease, lower lip pits (LLPs) can cause an aesthetically significant deformity. Surgical treatment of LLPs is necessary if they cause recurrent inflammation or aesthetic problems. Intraoperatively, surgeons should keep in mind the possibility of deep extension of the sinus tract and the relative deficiency of the midline in VWS, which increases the risk of lip disfigurement. Herein, we emphasize the importance of using a tissue-preserving technique to improve aesthetic results in VWS patients with a sinus tract.

  • Vomer flap is used to repair anterior hard palate in complete cleft lip and palate patients. As the midline structure located in between the two cleft segments of hard palate, the vomer flap is very useful because of its vicinity to cleft site and their ease of execution when it is done with primary cheiloplasty simultaneously. In addition, the quality of tissue is very similar to that of the nasal mucosa with good vascularity. In cases of simultaneous repair of cleft lip with anterior palate using vomer flap, the hard palate can be repaired at the same time with primary cheiloplasty which is earlier period than other techniques. With simultaneous close of cleft lip and cleft hard palate by vomer flap, subsequent palatoplasty does not require wide dissection, and consequently chance of oronasal fistula formation will be minimized. Additionally, surgical time will be reduced and, the harmful effects on mid-facial growth will be diminished. In this article, we will introduce the comprehensive vomer flap technique with primary lip closure and review the comparative studies of the outcome of simultaneous repair of cleft lip and cleft hard palate with vomer flap.

  • This case report describes a rare occurrence of pyogenic granuloma (PG) in the hard palate deviating from its typical gingival location that led to the formation of an alveolar cleft. The aggressive growth pattern of the lesion, with atypical progression from a pedunculated nodule to an alveolar cleft, raised concern. The diagnosis was based on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography findings, which revealed a tadpole-shaped lesion originating from the midline hard palate. The differential diagnosis included a minor salivary gland tumor. Surgical excision was performed under general anesthesia and resulted in a mucosal defect without nasolabial fistula formation or bone exposure. The palatal defect was packed with oxidized regenerated cellulose and closed with Vicryl Rapide sutures, both of which contributed to the patient's successful outcomes. Our comprehensive approach, extending across the stages of surgical planning, execution, and postoperative care, demonstrated the advantages of a multidisciplinary strategy for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of palatal PGs. This report makes a meaningful contribution to the existing literature on common oral lesions by emphasizing the importance of a broad differential diagnosis and a systematic approach to oral pathologies. It also raises clinical awareness of PGs with atypical presentations and the diagnostic challenge that they pose.

  • A free rectus abdominis flap can include a variable amount of muscle length depending on recipient site requirements. There is also great flexibility in flap design in terms of size, orientation of its axis, and the level of its location over the muscle. It is safe to design the skin island across the midline. Though skin islands designed over the most inferior portion of the abdomen have not always proved reliable when based on the superior epigastric artery, free flaps based on the inferior pedicle can be successfully designed in this area. As free flap based on the inferior epigastric vessels, this flap has been useful for large head and neck defects following ablative procedures, for facial contour restoration as a buried flap, for upper extremity defects, for lower extremity defects such as coverage of grade III tibial fractures and for breast reconstruction. A free rectus abdominis muscle or myocutaneus flap was used in 8 patients. The operations were performed between Sep. of 1994 and April of 1996. The patients were tongue cancer 1 case, chronic facial palsy 1 case, unilateral breast reconstruction 1 case, upper and lower extremity injury 5 cases. The free rectus abdominis muscle flaps were 4 cases and the free myocutaneous flaps were 4 cases. There was no failure of the flap, except one partial necrosis. One case of the skin grafts on the muscle flap was regrafted. One case of reoperation due to venous thrombosis was performed. In tongue cancer patient, a orocutaneous fistula was occurred, but conservative treatment and secondandry skin graft were done. In conclusion, a free rectus abdominis flap has many advantages such as a long and constant pedicle, easy dissection, enough soft tissue available, scar on the donor site to be hiddened, no need for changing position. So we think that this flap is the most useful one for small or moderate sized defects on the various sites.

  • Purpose: Nasotracheal or oral intubation procedure is widely used for facial bone fractures. However, during the operation intubated tube can interfere or obstruct the view of the operator. We authors used a modified submental intubation method in panfacial bone fracture patients for intact airway and the operation view. Methods: After intravenous induction of anaesthesia, traditional orotracheal tubation was done. A horizontal incision was made 2 cm from the midline, 2 cm medial to and parallel with the mandible in the submental region. 1 In order to approach to the floor of the oral cavity, a haemostat was pushed through the soft tissues. A chest tube front cover was applied to the intubation tube and the tube was inserted through the submental tunnel. Orotracheal tube was disconnected and pulled back through the soft tissue and secured with a suture. Results: The procedure took about 30 minutes and there were no problems during the intubation. Intraoral manipulation and occlusal checks were free without any interference. Extubation was also easily done without any complications such as lung aspiration, infection, hematoma, or fistula. Conclusion: Submental endotracheal intubation is fast, safe, easy to use and free from the concern about the tube being pull back again. Conventional submental intubations are being held without any coverage of the tip. We authors applied the modified method to the trauma patients and obtained satisfactory results. From the above advantages, modified submental intubation can be widely available not only in fractured patients, but also in aesthetic or orthognathic surgeries.
