배경: 상부 식도암에 대한 종래의 표준적 치료는 방사선 조사였으나 결과는 만족스럽지 않았으며, 아직도 수술적 치료를 적용하는 데에는 의견의 차이가 있다. 저자들은 상부식도암에 대하여 수술적 치료를 적극적으로 시행하여 왔으며, 그의 효과를 분석해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년부터 2005년까지 저자들이 수술을 시행한 식도암 증례는 모두 147예였으며, 이들을 상부 식도암(경부 및 상흉부 식도암) 23예와 하부 식도암(중, 하흉부 및 복부 식도암) 124예의 2군으로 구분하여, 수술의 완전 절제율과 수술의 합병증 및 사망률, 재발률,그리고 생존율 등을 비교함으로써 양군에서의 수술의 유용성을 비교해 보았다. 결과: 양 군 간에 병기 분포는 유사하였으며, 완전 절제율에서도 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 수술의 합병증 발생률은 상부 식도암군에서 유의하게 높았으나(39.1% vs 16.9%, p<0.05), 수술 사망률이나 재발률 및 장기 생존율에서의 차이는 없었다. 결론: 양 군 간에 수술 사망률이나 수술의 효과 면에서 차이가 없어 상부 식도암에서도 수술적 치료는 유용하다고 판단되었으나, 향후 보다 많은 증례의 분석이 필요할 것이라고 생각한다.

Since tuberculosis was a common pulmonary disease in Korea, Aspergillosis was easily misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and an acute form of Aspergillosis was misinterpreted as pneumonia because of their similarities in the X-ray findings. This investigation is designed to illustrate the clinical features and preoperative diagnosis and surgical role in the management of this disease. In a retrospective review of operative cases from Jan. 1963 through Dec. 1983, 36 cases were analyzed. Peak age incidence lies in the 3rd decade [41.7%]. All cases had a history of treatment with antituberculous drugs under diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and the most common chief complaint was hemoptysis [69.5%]. Only nine cases [25%] showed cavitary lesions with mycetoma and preoperative sputum study for fungus showed low positive valve [42.3%]. Anatomical location of lesion was located mainly upper lobe [66.7%] and most of cases were managed by lobectomy. We experienced 7 cases of complication; they were postoperative empyema, hepatic failure, esophageal varix bleeding. Postoperative pathologic findings showed that 29 cases [80.5%] were combined with tuberculosis 3 cases were combined with bronchiectasis and 4 cases were not combined with other disease. In conclusion, when the patient has a longstanding history of pulmonary tuberculosis and has a hemoptysis, he must be suspected fungus super infection. Resectional surgery is the treatment of choice for symptomatic localized disease and needed resection in asymptomatic patient to prevent possible fatal sequelae in the future.

Background : Even though there were developments in various treatment techniques for acute arterial occlusion this disease still has high rate of mortalities and limb amputations. We investigated the combined diseases symptoms location of occlusion type of treatment complication and prognosis in our patients. Meterial and methods: This study recruited 48 patients(42 men, 6 women, mean age 57.7 years) who received the operation from January 1995 toDecember 1998. We investigated the post-operation course via medical record review or telephone interview with patients or their family members. Result: The most common combined diseases were atherosclerosis in 30 patients. other diseases were 17 diabetes mellitus 16 hypertension and 12 atrial firillation. Pain and clod sensation were noticed in all patients paresthesia in 5 patients fibrillation. Pain and cold sensation were noticed in all patients paresthesia in 5 patients and lower extremity paralysis in 11 patients. In 29 patients the time interval from the onset of symptom to admission was over 72 hours and 15 patients were admitted within 24 hours. The distribution of arterial occlusion location was at 28 femoral arteries 14 popliteal arteries and 6 iliac arteries. All the patients were received embolectomy and 5 patients were received additional bypass grafting. Postoperative complications were 12 reocclusions. 6 compartment syndromes 6 skin necrosis and 2 acute renal failure. The mortality rate was 16.7%(8/48) and the amputation rate was 25% Conclusion : This study revealed 25% reocclusion 25% limb amputation and 16.7% mortaliyt. To improve the prognosis of acute lower extrements arterial occlusion early diagnosis and understand the underlying diseases prompt treatment and operation additional operation including interventional radiologic examination and thorough postoperative care would be appreciated.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, and the incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is highest in China. Early diagnosis and effective monitoring are keys to comprehensive treatment and discovering tumor metastases and recurrence in time. The aim of this study was to confirm serum peptidome pattern utility for diagnosis of ESCC, and assessment of operation success, postoperative chemotherapy results, tumor metastasis and recurrence. Serum samples were collected from 61 patients treated with surgery and chemotherapy and 20 healthy individuals. Spectral data generated with weak cationic-exchanger magnetic beads (WCX-MB) and MALDI-TOF MS by a support vector machine (SVM), were used to construct diagnostic models and system training as potential biomarkers. A pattern consisting of 11 protein peaks, separated ESCC (m/z 650.75), operated (m/z 676.61, 786.1, 786.58), postoperative chemotherapy (m/z 622.77, 650.66, 676.46) and tumor metastasis and recurrence (m/z 622.63, 650.56, 690.77, 676.12) from the healthy individuals with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 100.0%. These results suggested that MALDITOF MS combined with MB separation yields significantly higher sensitivity and specificity for the detection of serum protein in patients with EC patients treated with surgery and chemotherapy.

Background and Objectives： The treatment of laryngeal carcinoma is not settled to date and surgeons have used lasers for a variety of benign and malignant lesions in the larynx with good success. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential role of laser surgery for laryngeal carcinoma. Materials and Methods : Medical records from patients who had undergone laser surgery for laryngeal carcinoma at Seoul National University Hospital between January 1988 3nd December 1998 were reviewed retrospectively. Results : A total of 47 patients were seen during that period and their mean follow-up length was 29 months. Their local control rate was 91％ (94% for glottic T1, 60% for glottic T2, 50% for supraglottic T1 and 100％ for supraglottic T2). The cure rate after laser surgery with or without postoperative radiotherapy was 87％ and 6 of 47 patients showed local or regional recurrences. For those 6 patients, neck dissection, partial or total laryngectomy with or without postoperative RT were conducted and they were all followed up without evidence of disease. All 47 patients who had undergone laser surgery for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were followed up with NED and their larynx preservation rate was 96%. Conclusion： This study demonstrates the oncologic validity of laser surgery to the treatment of unadvanced laryngeal carcinoma. However, strict case selection is needed to avoid locoregional recurrences and consequent salvage operations.

다양한 원인에 의하여 야기되는 편측성대마비에 의한 애성을 치료하기 위하여 현재 사용되고 있는 방법으로는 테프론이나 실리콘 등의 성대내 주입술, 갑상연골성형술 등이 있다. 그러나 성대부전이 너무 크거나, 양측성대의 위상차이가 심한 경우에는 상기 수술법으로는 만족스러운 결과를 얻기가 용이하지 않다. 이런 경우에 피열연골의 근돌기를 외과적으로 노출시킨 후 측전방으로 당겨줌으로써 성대의 내전을 유도할 수 있는 피열연골내전술(arytenoid adduction)로 음성개선을 도모할 수 있다. 최근 저자들은 애성을 주소로 영동세브란스병원 이비인후과로 내원하였던 편측성대마비 환자 3예에서 보다 만족할만한 음성개선의 결과를 도모하고자 피열연골내전술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Because of advancement of medical treatment, surgical management of gastric or duodenal ulcer was indicated for treatment of perforation, massive hemorrhage and obstruction. The distal gastrectomy including ulcer was known as principle method of duodenal ulcer obstruction, but actually many surgeons have performed only bypass surgery for the difficulty of formation of duodenal stump. In our case, 61-year-old male with repetitive duodenal ulcer obstruction transferred with obstruction due to deformities and inflammations of duodenal ulcer. We had performed totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with ROUX-EN-Y reconstruction using the clear visibility of laparoscopy and fine dissections of harmonic scalpel. The patient started soft diet on postoperative day 5 and discharged on postoperative day 8. He returned to work after discharging immediately.

Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) device is an effective treatment for protruding maxilla in infants with cleft palate. However, only a few studies have investigated the effect of NAM devices on the treatment of protruding maxilla in infants with cleft lip only. We have designed a combination treatment using NAM devices prior to cheiloplasy for cleft lip-only patients with severe anterior protrusion of the premaxilla. Three cleft lip-only infants with 1-cm or more of premaxilla protrusion were included. Definitive cheiloplasty was performed at 6 months of age without any preoperative correction in infant 1. Cheiloplasty was performed in conjunction with the use of NAM device and lip adhesion in infants 2 and 3. Postoperative columella length and anterior-posterior dimension of the protruding premaxilla were compared amongst the infants. We were able to obtain satisfactory postoperative columella length and general nasal appearance.

Background Untreated lymphedema of an extremity leads to an increase in volume. The therapy of this condition can be conservative or surgical. Methods "Lymphological liposculpture" is a two-part procedure consisting of resection and conservative follow-up treatment to achieve curative volume adjustment of the extremities in secondary lymphedema. This treatment significantly reduces the need for complex decongestive therapy (CDT). From 2005 to 2020, 3,184 patients with secondary lymphedema after breast cancer and gynecological tumors were treated in our practice and clinic. "Lymphological liposculpture" was applied to 65 patients, and the data were recorded and evaluated by means of perometry and questionnaires. Results The alignment of the sick to the healthy side was achieved in all patients. In 58.42% (n = 38), the CDT treatment could be completely stopped postoperatively; in another 33.82% (n = 22) of the patients, a permanent reduction of the CDT was achieved. In 7.69% (n = 5) patients, the postoperative CDT could not be reduced. A total of 92.30% (n = 60) of the patients described a lasting significant improvement in their quality of life. Conclusion "Lymphological liposculpture" is a standardized curative sustainable procedure for secondary lymphedema for volume adjustment of the extremities and reduction of postoperative CDT with eminent improvement of the quality of life.
