목적: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에 대해서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합 법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술에 대한 추시 결과와 유효성을 보고하고자 한다. 방법: 2006년 1월부터 20011년 10월까지 큰 크기의 회전근 개 전 층 파열로 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용하여 적어도 대결절의 내연까지 봉합이 가능하여 관절경하 봉합술을 시행하였던 71예의 환자를 1군으로, 단순 봉합법을 시행하였던 20예를 2군으로 하여 비교하였으며, 술 전과 7개월, 1년, 최종 추시 VAS of pain, ASES 점수의 ADL (Activity of Daily Living), UCLA 점수를 측정하였다. 통계적인 검정은 양군간에 student t-test와 수술 전후에 paired t-test로 비교하였다. 평균 연령은 63.2 (52~80)세 였고 평균 추시 기간은 38.4 (13~62)개월 이었다. 결과: 동통에 대한 VAS 점수에서 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 8.1에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.6로 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 7.6에서 술 후 최종 추시 1.8로 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 두 군 간의 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 평균 ADL은 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.5에서 술 후 최종 추시 평균 29.0으로 증가하였고 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 평균 11.3에서 27.5으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). UCLA 점수는 1군의 경우 술 전 평균 12.9에서 술 후 최종 추시 28.7으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 2군의 경우 술 전 평균 13.8에서 술 후 최종 추시 30.1으로 증가하였으며 (p<0.05), 두 군 간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). 술 후 평균 27.5주째에 촬영한 MRI (20예)와 초음파 (51예)를 이용한 재 파열의 비교에서 1군에서 28%, 2군에서는 20예중 11예에서 재 파열이 있어서 두 군간에 임상적으로 의미 있는 차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 결론: 크기가 4 cm 이상의 회전근 개 전 층 파열에서 UU-Tension Band suture 봉합법을 이용한 관절경하 봉합술은 단순 봉합법을 이용한 봉합술과 비교하여 임상적으로 차이가 없으나 재 파열에서 의미 있는 차이가 있었다.

심강내관상동맥은 전체 관상동맥우회술 환자 중 약 $0.2\~0.3\%$에서 발견되며, 국내에서는 아직 보고된 바 없는 극히 드문 관상동맥기형의 일종이다. 수술 전 관상동맥조영술을 통하여 진단하기 어렵고, 관상동맥우회술 후에 우심실로부터의 출혈이 발생할 수 있으므로 우심실절개 부위의 견고한 봉합이 필요하다. 기존의 증례 보고에 따르면 외과용거즈(pledget)를 이용한 수평매트리스봉합(horizontal mattress suture)이 추천되기는 하나 주위의 심근을 압박하여 관상동맥가지 및 관통동맥의 협착을 유발할 수 있어, 단순단속봉합(simple interrupted suture)을 이용하고도 수술 후 별다른 합병증 얼이 호전된 예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Background: The purse-string suture (PSS) is a simple and rapid wound closure method that results in minimal scarring. It has been used to treat circular or oval skin defects caused by tumor excision or trauma. However, due to obscurity, it is not widely used, especially for the head and neck. This study aimed to modify the PSS to obtain predictable and acceptable results. Methods: A total of 45 sites in 39 patients with various types of skin and soft tissue defects in the head and neck were treated with PSS. We used PDS II (2-0 to 5-0), which is an absorbable suture. Minimal dissection of the subcutaneous layer was performed. The suture knot was hidden by placing it in the dissection layer. Depending on the characteristics of the skin and soft tissue defects, additional surgical interventions such as side-to-side advancement sutures, double PSS, or split-thickness skin graft were applied. Results: All wounds healed completely without any serious complications. Large defects up to 45 mm in diameter were successfully reconstructed using only PSS. Postoperative radiating folds were almost flattened after approximately 1-2 months. Conclusion: PSS is simple, rapid, and relatively free from surgical design. Owing to the circumferential advancement of the surrounding tissue, PSS always results in a smaller scar than the initial lesion and less distortion of the body structures around the wound in the completely healed defect. If the operator can predict the process of healing and immediate radiating folds, PSS could be a favorable option for round skin defects in the head and neck.

Purpose: Seroma formation is still major complication of abdominal donor site after TRAM flap surgery in spite of various efforts to reduce seroma formation such as closed suction drain. We performed a clinical study, that quilting suture at abdominal donor site can prevent seroma formation. Methods: Between May 2002 and September 2008, we performed 600 breast reconstructions using a unilateral TRAM flap except patients who has smoking history or abdominal scar. We performed 300 breast reconstructions without quilting sutures (A: Experimental group) until January 06, and after then 300 reconstructions with quilting sutures (B: Control group). We compared total drain output (mL), time to drain removal (days), and donor site complications between two groups. Results: There were no statistical difference at BMI (p=0.28) and time to remove suction drain between two group. (A: 8.37, B: 9.69) (p=0.40) But, total drain output was reduced with quilting suture. (A: 432.5, B: 495.2) (p=0.005) And also complication rate was decreased, such as seroma formation, epigastric bulging. (A: 1%, B: 7%) (p=0.005) Conclusion: Quilting suture is a simple and reliable method to reduce seroma formation and abdominal donor site complication.

기관내 상관후 발병하는 기관식도루는 희귀하고 치료하기 어려운 질환이다. 본원에서는 3명의 환자에서 4차례의 수술적 치료를 경험하였다. 인공 호흡기로부터 이탈 후 경부를 통해 접근하여 누공을 분리 후 기관 결손은 단순 봉합하고 식도 결손은 2층으로 봉합한 후 근육 피판을 두 봉합선 사이에 위치시킴으로써 재발을 방지하였다. 각각 1례의 지연성 기관협착과 재발성 기관식도루가 발생하였으나 이 또한 성공적으로 치료되었다.

This paper deals with the designing of instrument for achieving surgical operation in the stomach and gullet using endoscope channel. The method used herein was to provide beads to knot suturing thread automatically. Following design rules were applied : 1) that instrument must be designed to enable surgical operator to stitch successively by only simple handling 2) that instrument must be designed to minimize insertion and extraction of endoscope. The main result from the experiment with animal stomach was that the surgical operation time was reduced and successive suture was available. Considering the requirement of operator‘s highly trained skills and the discomfort of patient in traditional suture process, the proposed design is expected to markedly improve the endoscopic suturing performance.

For a bursal-side retracted laminated rotator cuff tear, simple repair of the retracted bursal-side rotator cuff might be insufficient because the repaired tendon could remain as an intratendinous tear of the rotator cuff. We present a repair method for intratendinous rotator cuff tears using the suture-bridge technique. We believe that this method helps to preserve the remnant rotator cuff tendon without tissue damage and restores the normal rotator cuff footprint in bursal-side delaminated rotator cuff tears.

Purpose: Severe type of inverted nipple (cannot be pulled out above the areola plane by manipulation, grade III) usually cannot be corrected by a relatively simple purse - string suture technique. Most patients want to avoid visible scars. To treat the severe case and avoid visible stigma, we introduce this invisible dermal flap method. Methods: This new surgical procedure makes bilateral incisions on the sidewall of nipple and dissections vertically to free the ducts from the contracted tissues. After dissection, the tunnel is formed. We insert "dermal flaps" into the tunnel underneath nipple base. Then through - and - through sutures are performed vertically (6 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions) and the purse - string suture is added with 4 - 0 nylon. Results: We had treated 35 primary inverted nipples (grade III) in 27 patients and 13 recurrent nipples in 7 cases. The results were excellent in 45 nipples (93.7%). All but 3 recurred cases was fully or very satisfied with the results. Conclusion: This technique is effective for the correction of severe inverted nipples and recurrent cases. We can avoid the visible scars on the areola surface.

Traumatic cleft earlobes are a common problem encountered by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Various techniques have been reported for the repair of traumatic cleft earlobes. Usually, the techniques of split earlobe repair are divided into two categories, namely straight- and broken-line repairs. Straight-line repair is simple and easy, but scar contracture frequently results in notching of the inferior border of the lobule. It can be avoided by the broken-line repair such as Z-plasty, L-plasty, or a V-shaped flap. Between April 2016 and February 2017, six patients who presented with traumatic cleft earlobe underwent surgical correction using a combination of the inverted V-shaped excision technique and vertical mattress suture method. All the patients were female and had a unilateral complete cleft earlobe. No postoperative notching of the inferior border the lobule occurred during 6-16 months of follow-up. Without the use of a broken-line repair, both the patients and the operators attained aesthetically satisfactory results. Therefore, the combination of the inverted V-shaped excision technique and vertical mattress suture method is considered useful in the treatment of traumatic cleft earlobes.
