The goal of this work is to develop and test a robot-assisted surgery system for spinal fusion. The system is composed of a robot, a surgical planning system, and a navigation system. It plays the role of assisting surgeons for inserting a pedicle screw in the spinal fusion procedure. Compared to conventional methods fer spinal fusion, the proposed surgical procedure ensures minimum invasion and better accuracy by using robot and image information. The robot plays the role of positioning and guiding needles, drills, and other surgical instruments or conducts automatic boring and screwing. Pre-operative CT images and intra-operative fluoroscopic images are integrated to provide the surgeon with information for surgical planning. Several experiments employing the developed robotic surgery system are conducted. The experimental results confirmed that the system is not only able to guide the surgical tools by accurately pointing and orienting the specified location, but also successfully compensate the movement of the patient due to his/her respiration.

본 논문에서는 위급한 상황(예 : COVID-19)에서 바이러스 검사를 빠르게 진행하기 위한 그래프 기반 사용자 경로 제어와 이것을 도시 맵에서 시뮬레이션을 할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 가상환경에서 많이 활용되는 길찾기(Pathfinding) 알고리즘인 A^*나 네비게이션 메쉬 자료구조는 정해진 정적 이동 경로만을 안내하기 때문에 가상환경에서 에이전트를 제어하는 CS(Computer science)문제에 적용할 할 경우 효율적이다. 하지만, 실제 COVID-19 환경에 적용하여 문제를 풀기에는 충분하지 않다. 특히, 빠른 바이러스 검사를 받기 위해서는 짧은 거리만을 이용하는 게 아닌, 실제 도로 교통상황, 병원의 크기, 환자 이동 수, 환자 처리 시간 등 고려해야 할 상황들이 많다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 언급한 다양한 속성들과 이를 이용한 최적화 함수를 모델링하여, 실제 도시 맵에서 바이러스 검사를 빠르고 효율적으로 처리할 수 있고, 다양한 상황을 디지털 트윈 방식으로 시뮬레이션을 할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis, and the popularity of the direct anterior approach has increased due to more rapid recovery and increased stability. Instability, commonly caused by component malposition, remains a significant concern. The dynamic relationship between the pelvis and lumbar spine, deemed spinopelvic motion, is considered an important factor in stability. Various parameters are used in evaluating spinopelvic motion. Understanding spinopelvic motion is critical, and executing a precise plan for positioning the implant can be difficult with manual instrumentation. Robotic and/or navigation systems have been developed in the effort to enhance THA outcomes and for implementing spinopelvic parameters. These systems can be classified into three categories: X-ray/fluoroscopy-based, imageless, and computed tomography (CT)-based. Each system has advantages and limitations. When using CT-based systems, preoperative CT scans are used to assist with preoperative planning and intraoperative execution, providing feedback on implant position and restoration of hip biomechanics within a functional safe zone developed according to each patient's specific spinopelvic parameters. Several studies have demonstrated the accuracy and reproducibility of robotic systems with regard to implant positioning and leg length discrepancy. Some studies have reported better radiographic and clinical outcomes with use of robotic-assisted THA. However, clinical outcomes comparable to those for manual THA have also been reported. Robotic systems offer advantages in terms of accuracy, precision, and potentially reduced rates of dislocation. Additional research, including conduct of randomized controlled trials, will be required in order to evaluate the long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted THA.

Objective : Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) was the third most common cause of death in South Korea in 2014. Evidence from abroad suggests that comprehensive stroke centers play an important role in improving the mortality rate of stroke. However, surgical treatment for CVD is currently slightly neglected by national policy, and there is still regional imbalance in this regard. For this reason, we conducted a survey on the necessity of, and the requirements for, establishing regional comprehensive cerebrovascular surgery centers (CCVSCs). Methods : This investigation was performed using the questionnaire survey method. The questionnaire was consisted with two sections. The first concerned the respondent's opinion regarding the current status of demand and the regional imbalance of cerebrovascular surgery in South Korea. The second section asked about the requirements for establishing regional CCVSCs. We sent the questionnaire to 100 board members of the Korean Society of Cerebrovascular Surgeons. Results : Most experts agreed that cerebrovascular surgery patients were concentrated in large hospitals in the capital area, and 83.6% of respondents agreed that it was necessary to alleviate the regional imbalance of cerebrovascular surgery. With regards to personnel, over 90% of respondents answered that at least two neuro-vascular surgeons and two neuro-interventionists are necessary to establish a CCVSC. Regarding facilities, almost all respondents stated that each CCVSC would require a neuro-intensive care unit and hybrid operating room. The survey asked the respondents about 13 specific neurovascular surgical procedures and whether they were necessary for a regional CCVSC. In the questions about the necessity of cerebrovascular surgical equipment, all seven pieces of equipment were considered essential by all respondents. A further five pieces of equipment were considered necessary on site: computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, conventional angiography, surgical microscope, and surgical navigation. Our results may provide a basis for future policy regarding treatment of cerebrovascular disease, including surgery. Conclusion : Raising the comprehensiveness of treatment at a regional level would lower the national disease burden. Policies should be drafted regarding comprehensive treatment including surgery for cerebrovascular disease, and related support plans should be implemented.

Purpose: We investigated complications after laparoscopic sentinel basin dissection (SBD) for patients with gastric cancer who were enrolled in a quality control study, prior to the phase III trial of sentinel lymph node navigation surgery (SNNS). Materials and Methods: We analyzed prospective data from a Korean multicenter prerequisite quality control trial of laparoscopic SBD for gastric cancer and assessed procedure-related and surgical complications. All complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) system and were compared with the results of the previously published SNNS trial. Results: Among the 108 eligible patients who were enrolled in the quality control trial, 8 (7.4%) experienced complications during the early postoperative period. One patient with gastric resection-related duodenal stump leakage recovered after percutaneous drainage (grade IIIa in CDC). The other postoperative complications were mild and patients recovered with supportive care. No complications were directly related to the laparoscopic SBD procedure or tracer usage, and there were no mortalities. The laparoscopic SBD complication rates and patterns that were observed in this study were comparable to those of a previously reported trial. Conclusions: The results of our prospective, multicenter quality control trial demonstrate that laparoscopic SBD is a safe procedure during SNNS for gastric cancer.

2020년 1월 국내 최초 환자가 발생한 코로나19(COVID 19)는 다양한 분야에 영향을 끼쳤다. 그중에서도 가장 타격을 받은 곳은 관광 분야라 하겠다. 특히 강원도 지역은 관광 기반의 산업 구조가 지역의 근간을 이루고 있고 관광산업이 소상공인 및 소기업의 주요 소득원이므로 그 피해가 크다. 이와 같은 피해 상황 및 정도를 확인하고자 강원권 지역 중에서 대중적 접근성이 가장 편리하며 서울 및 수도권 등에서 대중교통을 이용하여 당일 관광이 가능하고, 일반적인 이미지가 적은 비용을 사용한 관광이 가능하다고 인식되고 있는 춘천 지역을 대상으로 데이터 분석을 통하여 실증분석을 하였다. 이를 위하여 관광지식정보시스템에서 제공하는 춘천의 방문객 데이터를 기준으로 일반적인 지역 현황을 확인하였고 코로나 이전인 2019년도와 이후인 2020년도의 관심도 확인을 위하여 키워드 수집 전문 기업인 (주)바이브컴퍼니의 웹서비스 썸트랜드에서 수집한 키워드와 차량용 내비게이션 서비스와 통신 서비스 제공을 병행하는 SK텔레콤의 T맵 검색지 데이터를 함께 비교해 봄으로써 춘천에 대한 일반적인 지역 이미지를 분석하였다. 또한 키워드와 T맵 검색지 데이터를 적용한 관광 인기도 지수를 개발하여 2개 연도의 데이터를 비교해 봄으로써 코로나 상황이 춘천 지역 방문객들의 관심도가 실제 방문으로 이어지는 것에 얼마나 영향을 미쳤는지를 데이터 분석적인 접근 방법으로 고찰하였다. 데이터 마트 설계를 거친 후 관광인기도 지수를 적용한 빅데이터 분석 결과를 확인한 바에 의하면, 코로나19 상황은 강원도 춘천 지역 관광 인기도에 미치는 영향이 크지 않다는 것을 확인하였고, 해당 지역이 가지고 있는 지역별 특수성에 기반한 관광지 이미지 등을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 연구 분석 결과가 관광경제정책 입안에 유용한 참고 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
