Background: Surgical management of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland has a considerable risk of facial nerve injury and a high re-recurrence rate. To obtain more insight into the issue of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma and more specifically to evaluate our experience and results of treatment, a retrospective study was carried out. Materials and Methods: During the period from 1989 to 2002, the medical records of 14 patients who underwent a operation for recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland were reviewed retrospectively. The initial operation for parotid tumor, clinical features of recurrence, reoperation after recurrence, po stop complication were analysed. Results: The male to female ratio was 6 : 9. Median age of the patients at the time of the initial operation was 33 years and at the time of the reoperation was 43 years. The median interval until recurrence was 105 months (6-252 months). The initial operations performed were excision or enucleation in 10 patients, superficial parotidectomy in 3 patients, total parotidectmy in 1 patients. The thirteen patients were underwent reoperation (8 superficial parotidectomies, 3 total parotidectomies, 1 neartotal parotidectomy, 1 wide excision). The facial nerve paralysis after the reoperation occured in 6 patients but all of them were recovered from 3 months to 1 year after surgery. Conclusion: In the management of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland, excision or enucleation is to be avoided due to the higher recurrence rate and superficial or total parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve are to be preferred. Because the risk of facial nerve injury during operation for the recurrent tumor was higher than initial surgery, more careful surgical procedure is mandatory for preserving the facial nerve.

Thirty-seven patients of aortic aneurysm underwent operations during January 1984 December 1987 at our hospital. Twenty-six patients had aneurysms involving ascending aorta, three patients had aneurysms involving both ascending aorta and abdominal aorta. and eleven patients had aneurysms involving descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. Among the patients who had aneurysms involving ascending aorta, annuloaortic ectasia with aortic regurgitation were thirteen and all of these underwent ascending aorta graft replacement + AVR with composite graft. The patients who had aortic regurgitation due to ascending aortic dissection were three and all of these underwent intraluminal ringed graft insertion at ascending aorta + aortic valve resuspension. Intraluminal ringed graft insertion was safe, simple, and fast method in the operation for aortic aneurysm. Eleven patients were underwent this operation and the results were good. Major causes of death of the patients who underwent aortic aneurysm operation are underlying cardiovascular diseases or delayed rupture of the aneurysm or complications related newly appeared aneurysm. Among our patients, dissection progressions were appeared in two but neither severe nor complicated. And no patient died from delayed rupture of aneurysm or complications related newly appeared aneurysm. All patients were followed up via OPD and were controlled hypertension or heart failure if present. Operative mortality is 18.9\ulcornera in all, 23% in patients who had aneurysms involving ascending aorta and 7.6` who had aneurysms involving descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. Comparing with other reports, our operative mortality is still high but improved steadily. So we recommend aggressive surgical management of the aortic aneurysm.

Purpose: Gastric cancer surgery is a common operation in East Asia, such as Korea and Japan, and there has been a significant increase in the need for this procedure due to the aging population. As a result, surgery for the treatment of gastric cancer for elderly patients is expected to increase. This study examined the effect of old age on gastric cancer surgery, and analyzed the operative risk factors for elderly patients. Materials and Methods: From November 2008 to August 2010, 590 patients, who underwent a curative resection for gastric cancers, were enrolled. Patients who underwent palliative or emergency surgery were excluded. A retrospective analysis of the correlation between surgical outcomes and age was performed. The elderly were defined as patients who were over the age of 65 years. Results: The mean age of all patients was 58.3 years, and complications occurred in 87 cases (14.7%). The most common complication was wound infection and severe complications requiring surgical, endoscopic, or radiologic intervention developed in 52 cases (8.8%). The rate of complications increased with increasing age of the patients. Univariate analysis revealed age, comorbidity, extent of resection, operation time, and combined resection to be associated with surgical complications. In particular, age over 75 years old, operation time, and comorbidity were predictive factors in multivariate analysis. In the elderly, only comorbidity was associated with surgical complications Conclusions: The patients' age is the most important factor for predicting surgical complications. Surgeons should pay an attention to the performance of gastric cancer surgery on elderly patients. In particular, it must be performed carefully for elderly patients with a comorbidity.

Prosthetic valve replacement has resulted in marked improvement in the functional status of many patients with valvular heart disease. But valve failure from various causes has necessitated re-replacement of prosthetic valve in some of these patients. This selective group of patients has many inherent problems. This report presents our experience with seven patients who received re-replacement of prosthetic valve in the Seoul National University Hospital from 1981, to 1983. The patients included one woman and six men in the range of 9 and 49 years old. As the first valve operations, there were five MVR using tissue valves, one DVR [Bjork-Shiley and Ionescu-Shiley valve] and one case of modified Bentall operation with composite graft [Ionescu-Shiley valve]. Reoperations on prosthetic valve failure were performed 17 to 54 months after the first operation [mean 34 months]. Amon8 seven patients, there were two cases of prosthetic valve endocarditis and five cases of primary tissue failure. Gross calcification of the xenograft was found in two children with Ionescu-Shiley valve. All except one had relatively successful operative results. The unsuccessful one died intraoperatively from low output syndrome.

This is a report of 8 cases cardiac arrest developed in the operating room at Jeonbug university Hospital from January 1973 to October, 1975. Four patients of cardiac arrest developed during the elective operation, 3 during the emergency operation and the remaining one, bronchoscopy for foreign body removal under the general anesthesia. Immediate closed chest cardiac massage was performed in the 7 patients and the remaining one underwent open chest cardiac massage. Five of 7 patients with the closed chest cardiac massage regained consciousness and restored respiration, but 3 patients of these survived to be discharged. Two patients who underwent pneumonectomy for multiple lung abscess and open drainage for liver abscess, were resuscitated but did survived. The Latter died from bleeding due to rupture of the liver that developed during the closed chest cardiac massage. One patient who had open chest cardiac massage survived to be discharged without any sequele. Unsuccessful resuscitation was observed in two patients, one had a complication of malignant hyperthermia with muscle rigidity during gastrectomy for ulcer perforation and another had not firm support on the back during massage.

Extended porta hepatis dissection and hepatic portojejunostomy was performed on 14 biliary atresia patients during last 13 years by a single surgeon. The average age at operation was 68 days(range from 37 days to 98 days). The patients were admitted for 8 weeks postoperatively for administration of parenteral antibiotics. There was one operative mortality due to acute hepatic necrosis. Among 13 patients remaining, 12(92.5 %) became chemically jaundice-free within 36 weeks postoperatively(average 16.8 weeks). the earliest 8 weeks, and in one patients jaundice persisted. Five(38.5 %) patients developed cholangitis after operation. Among jaundice-free patients, one patient died of unrelated disease 2 years after hepatic portojejunostomy, who underwent left lateral segmentectomy because of a biloma. Eleven survivors(78.6 %) are jaundice-free. The oldest one is 13 years old, enjoying a normal life. The mean period of follow-up is 7 years and 3 months.

Ten patients underwent operation for aortic aneurysms from Jan. 1983 to April 1988 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Keimyung University Hospital. There were 7 males and 3 females in this series. The age ranged from 16 to 70 years with the mean age of 45 years. The cause of the aneurysm was atherosclerosis in 8 patients, mycosis in 1 patient and unknown in 1 patient. There were two patients with ascending aortic aneurysm treated by Dacron graft replacement, with no hospital death. One patient with aortic arch aneurysm was received Dacron graft replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass and died on the 21st postoperative day because of cerebral edema. There were three patients with descending aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm in two patients was successfully repaired by Dacron graft. One additional patient with ruptured aneurysm died at operation because of ventricular fibrillation. Four patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm were underwent Dacron graft replacement and the results were good.
