Background: The purpose of this study is to review the clinical course after the correction of noncomplicated ventricular septal defect and to analyze the morbidity and risk factors of postoperative complications and evaluate residual defect during the follow-up period. Material and Method: From September 1994 to June 1998 24 patients(median age 10 months) underwent surgery under the diagnosis of ventricular septal defect. We made a retrospective review of the clinical records including the operation notes critical care unit records echocardiography results and the follow-up records. Result: There was no early mortality nd late mortality. There was no postoperative complete conduction block. Respiratory complication was the most common complication. The body weight age type of ventricular septal defect associated anomalies and operative procedure were not related to the incidence of complications. residual ventricular septal defects aortic valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation were insignificant in postoperative hemodynamics, Conclusions: Correction of the noncomplicated ventricular septal defect was done without mortality and complete heart block. Aggressive preoperative medical treatment and early surgical treatment may decrease postoperative complications. Postoperative residual shunt and tricuspid regurgitation were not problematic during the follow-up

Background Pedicled perforator flaps can present postoperative complications similar to those encountered in free flap surgery. Beyond a clinical evaluation, there is still no reliable technical aid for the early prediction of vascular issues. The aim of this study was to assess the support of near-infrared spectroscopy technology as an intraoperative tool to anticipate postsurgical flap ischemia. Methods We prospectively enrolled 13 consecutive patients who were referred to our hospital from March 2017 to July 2018 and required a reconstructive procedure with a pedicled fasciocutaneous perforator flap. We measured flap peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO₂) in each patient with a Somanetics INVOS 5100C Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter (Medtronic), both before and after transposition. Patient demographics, operative data, and complications were then recorded during the following 6 months. We analyzed the data using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and linear regression. Results The mean flap SpO₂ before and after transposition was 92%±3% and 78%±19%, respectively. The mean change in SpO₂ was 14%±17%, with a range of 0% to 55%. The change in saturation and mean saturation ratio were significantly different between patients with and without postoperative flap necrosis. Conclusions An immediate quantitative analysis of flap peripheral capillary SpO₂ after transposition has never before been described. In our experience, an intraoperative drop in SpO₂ equal to or greater than 15%-20% predicted vascular complications in pedicled perforator flaps. Conversely, flap size and rotation angle were not correlated with the risk of flap necrosis.

A 46-year-old female presented a mass on her right lower leg where she had a burn injury due to moxibustion 10 years ago. Physical examination revealed a 3 cm sized firm nodule with tenderness. Plain radiograph was performed and it revealed well-defined calcifications. According to the history of moxibustion burn injury and the result of plain radiograph, dystrophic calcinosis cutis caused by burn injury was suspected. The patient underwent excisional biopsy using pre-,intra-, and post-operative ultrasonography (USG). There was no sign of recurrence. Herein, we report a case of a 46-year-old healthy woman who presented with single hard nodule on the right lower leg. Our case is worthwhile in two respects. First, It is first case report of dystrophic calcinosis cutis due to moxibustion burn injury. In east asian culture, moxibustion is a commonly conducted procedure and it often induces burn injury. Second, USG was used pre-, intra-, and post-operatively to assess the shape, location, and depth of the calcinosis cutis and to determine the surgical margin.

Purpose: Reduced port surgery (RPS) for gastric cancer has been frequently reported in distal gastrectomies but rarely in total gastrectomies. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of 3-port totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) with overlapping esophagojejunal (EJ) anastomosis. Materials and Methods: A total of 81 patients who underwent curative TLTG for gastric cancer (36 and 45 patients with 3-port and 5-port TLTG, respectively) were evaluated. All 3-port TLTG procedures were performed with the same method as 5-port TLTG, including EJ anastomosis with the intracorporeal overlap method using a linear stapler, except for the number of ports and assistants. Short-term outcomes, including the number of lymph nodes (LNs) harvested by station and postoperative complications, were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Clinical characteristics were not significantly different among the groups, except that the 3-port TLTG group was younger and had a lower rate of pulmonary comorbidity. There were no cases of open conversion or additional port placement. All operative details and the number of harvested LNs did not differ between the groups, but the rate of suprapancreatic LN harvest was higher in the 3-port TLTG group. No significant differences were observed in the overall complication rates between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Three-port TLTG with overlapping EJ anastomoses using a linear stapler is a feasible RPS procedure for total gastrectomy to treat gastric cancer.

목적: 위암으로 위 절제 후 저장능 감소와 흡수장애 등의 단점을 보완하기 위해 소장 또는 결장을 이용한 간치술이 시행되고 있지만 술기상의 복잡성 등의 이유로 빈도가 높지 않다. 이에 저자들은 위 절제 후 결장 간치술의 경험을 분석하여 결과를 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 3월부터 1년간 시행된 결장 간치술 30예를 대상으로 임상병리학적 특징, 수술 결과, 위 배출시간 및 몸무게 변화 등을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 상행결장이 25예, 횡행결장이 5예 간치되었고, 평균 수술 시간은 373분(204~600), 출혈양은 486 ml (200~1,000)였다. 평균 암종의 크기는 4.5 cm (1~10.5), 절제된 림프절수는 31개(17~48), 근위부 절제연은 3.8 cm (0.5~8), 재원기간은 18.2일(10~40)이었다. 수술 후 9예(30%)에서 합병증이 발생되었고, 췌장 농양으로 인한 패혈증으로 1명(3.3%)이 사망하였다. 추적 기간 중 문제가 된 자각 증상은 음식 저류로 인한 소화불량으로, 위 내시경 검사상 음식저류로 검사에 지장이 있었던 환자는 15명(50%)이었다. 체중 감소율은 전 절제, 근위부 절제, 원위부 절제로 나누었을 때 수술 후 6개월에 16.3%, 14.0%, 8.8%였으나 점자 회복되어 5년째에는 8.1%, 7.5%, 5.6%였다. 결론: 비록 대상수가 적지만 결장 간치술은 문합부가 많아 수술시간이 길고 복잡한 술식으로 30%의 이환율을 보였으며, 수술 후 음식저류가 흔하였고 환자들의 체중 회복도 만족스럽지 못하였다. 따라서 결장 간치술은 위암 환자에게 위 절제 후 적용될 수 있는 재건 술식인지는 좀 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것 같다.

배경 및 목적: 폐동맥밴딩술(pulmonary artery banding)은 폐동맥밴딩에 따른 합병증과 2차 수술시의 사망률에 있어서 상당한 위험부담을 갖고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폐동맥밴딩술후에 시행되는 2차 수술의 위험부담을 알아보기 위해서 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 소아에게 시행된 2차 완전교정술의 성적을 조사하였다. 방법: 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 환아들중 1988년 5월부터 1997년 6월사이에 개심술에 의한 2차 완전교정술을 받았던 29례의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 연령은 생후 2개월에서 45개월까지 였다(평균 20.6$\pm$9.0개월). 이들중 27례는 기왕의 폐동맥밴딩술후에 심부전 증상이 호전되었던 예들이었고(정기 수술군), 2례는 그렇지 못하여 조기에 2차 수술을 시행해야 했었다(조기 수술군). 술전 진단명은 양대혈관우심실기시가 2례(양대혈관우심실기시군), 심실중격결손이 주병변이었던 경우가 27례(심실중격결손군)였었다. 결과: 폐동맥밴딩술후 2차 완전교정술 시행까지의 기간은 5일부터 45개월까지로 평균 15.5$\pm$8.7개월이었다. 수술방법은 양대혈관우심실기시 2례중 1례에서는 심실내 턴넬교정법이, 1례에서는 수정 Glenn수술이 시술되었고, 심실중격결손군에서는 전례에서 심실중격결손의 첨포봉합을 함과 아울러 누두부근육절제술 4례 및 형성부전성 폐동맥판막의 판막절제술 1례가 추가시행되었다. 2차 완전교정술시에, 18례에서는 폐동맥밴딩으로 인해 초래된 협착을 해소하기 위해서 폐동맥패취성형술을 시행하였고, 1례에서는 수정 Glenn수술을 위해 주폐동맥을 근위부에서 완전결찰하였다. 2차 완전교정술에 따른 병원사망률은 17.2%(5례)였는데, 사망원인으로는 저심박출 4례 및 자가면역 출혈성 빈혈 1례가 있었다. 본 연구에 있어서, 양대혈관우심실기시군(2례)과 조기 2차 수술군(2례)은 높은 병원사망률을 나타내는 위험인자로 작용하였다. 그리고 만기사망 1례가 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 이전에 폐동맥밴딩술을 받았던 소아에게 2차 완전교정술을 시행했던 결과는 폐동맥밴딩에 따른 후천적 병변을 함께 교정해야 하는 어려움에 기인하여 술후 이병률과 조기 수술사망률이 상당히 높게 나타났다. 따라서 가능하면, 단순 심실중격결손에 있어서는 1차 완전교정술이 요망된다.

Purpose : In general, pineal region tumors are managed by using microsurgical approach or stereoctactic biopsy. However, in selected cases endoscopic approach to pineal lesions might prove to be as effective as microsurgery and less invasive. We report an alternative surgical strategy for managing certain patients with pineal neoplasms that allows treatment of the symptomatic hydrocephalus as well as tumor biopsy under direct vision in the same sitting. Materials and Methods : Twenty-two patients with pineal region tumors with associated hydrocephalus were treated in one session by endoscopic third ventriculostomy and endoscopic tumor biopsy at our institution from October 1996 to January 2000. All patients were retrospectively evaluated. Results : There was no operative mortality. There was one cause of significant bleeding during biopsy, but was controlled endoscopically, and the patient recovered completely without neurologic deficit resulting from intra-operative bleeding. The symptoms related to increased intracranial pressure(ICP) have resolved in all patients, and the need for a shunt is completely eliminated. Histological diagnosis was achieved in 21 of the 22 patients by this procedure. A biopsy was not obtained in one patient. Although this pineal region tumor was seen endoscopically, this could not be biopsied because of technical difficulties in working around an enlarged massa intermedia. The lesions included fourteen germinomas, three mixed germ cell tumors, and one each of the followings: pineocytoma, pineoblastoma, pineocytoma/pineoblastoma(intermediate type), meningioma, and low grade glioma. Five of the 22 patients subsequently underwent formal microsurgical tumor removal. Additional chemotherapy or radiotherapy could then be initiated according to the histological diagnosis. Conclusion : We consider that endoscopy affords a minimally invasive way of reaching three objectives by one-step surgery in the management of pineal region tumors with associated hydrocephalus : 1) cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) sample for analysis of tumour markers and cytology, 2) treatment of hydrocephalus by third ventriculostomy, and 3) several biopsy specimens can be obtained identifying tumors which will require further open surgery or adjuvant radiation and/or chemotherapy. However, complications and morbidities should be emphasized so as to be avoided with further technical experience.

Background: The surgical strategies for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) vary in terms of the anesthesia method, neurological monitoring, shunt usage, and closure technique, and no gold-standard procedure has been established yet. We aimed to analyze the feasibility and benefits of CEA under regional anesthesia (RA) and CEA under general anesthesia (GA). Methods: Between June 2012 and December 2017, 65 patients who had undergone CEA were enrolled, and their medical records were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. A total of 35 patients underwent CEA under RA with cervical plexus block, whereas 30 patients underwent CEA under GA. In the RA group, a carotid shunt was selectively used for patients who exhibited negative results on the awake test. In contrast, such a shunt was used for all patients in the GA group. Results: There were no cases of postoperative stroke, cardiovascular events, or mortality. Nerve injuries were noted in 4 patients (3 in the RA group and 1 in the GA group), but they fully recovered prior to discharge. Operative time and clamp time were shorter in the RA group than in the GA group (119.29±27.71 min vs. 161.43±20.79 min, p<0.001; 30.57±6.80 min vs. 51.77±13.38 min, p<0.001, respectively). The hospital stay was shorter in the RA group than in the GA group (14.6±5.05 days vs. 18.97±8.92 days, p=0.022). None of the patients experienced a stroke or restenosis during the 27.23±20.3-month follow-up period. Conclusion: RA with a reliable awake test reduces shunt use and decreases the clamp and operative times of CEA, eventually resulting in a reduced length of hospital stay.

7살 중성화된 수컷 한국집 고양이가 6개월동안 지속된 변비를 주증으로 본원에 내원하였다. 직장검사에서 골반강의 우측 외측부분의 좁아짐을 보였고, 방사선검사에서는 골반골절의 부정유합으로 인한 골반강의 협착을 확인할 수 있었다. 골반강 직경 비율은 0.68이었다. 직장검사와 방사선검사를 기반으로 골반강 협착으로 인한 변비로 진단하였다. 그래서 골반결합을 절골하여 골반강 확장술을 시행하였고 이를 용이하게 하기 위하여 장골 절골술도 함께 시행하였다. 확장된 골반강을 유지하기 위하여 골반결합 사이에 폴리메칠메타크릴레이트를 성형하여 구조물로 삽입하였다. 절골 한 장골은 뼈판과 나사를 이용하여 다시 고정시켜주었다. 방사선 검사에서 술 후 골반강 직경 비율은 0.91로 증가했음을 알 수 있었다. 술 후 처치로는 항생제, 진통소염제, 락툴로오스경구제 투여와 함께 수액요법을 시행하였다. 환자는 골반강 확장술 후 일주일부터 정상적인 배변을 보였고, 그 이후 6개월동안 재발은 없었다. 이 증례를 바탕으로 골반강 확장술은 골반골절의 부정유합으로 인한 골반강 협착에 따라 발생한 변비에서 유용한 치료법으로 사료된다.
