  • Purpose: This study aimed to compare the surgical and oncological outcomes between totally laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (TLPPG) with intracorporeal anastomosis and laparoscopy-assisted pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LAPPG) with extracorporeal anastomosis. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 258 patients with cT1N0 gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy using two different anastomosis methods: TLPPG with intracorporeal anastomosis (n=88) and LAPPG with extracorporeal anastomosis (n=170). The following variables were compared between the two groups to assess the postoperative surgical and oncological outcomes: proximal and distal margins, number of resected lymph nodes (LNs) in total and in LN station 6, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative morbidity including delayed gastric emptying (DGE). Results: The average length of the proximal margin was similar between the TLPPG and LAPPG groups (2.35 vs. 2.73 cm, P=0.070). Although the distal margin was significantly shorter in the TLPPG group than in the LAPPG group (3.15 vs. 4.08 cm, P=0.001), no proximal or distal resection margin-positive cases were reported in either group. The average number of resected LN was similar in both groups (36.0 vs. 33.98, P=0.229; LN station 6, 5.72 vs. 5.33, P=0.399). The operation time was shorter in the TLPPG group than in the LAPPG (200.17 vs. 220.80 minutes, P=0.001). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of postoperative hospital stay (9.38 vs. 10.10 days, P=0.426) and surgical complication rate (19.3% vs. 22.9%), including DGE (8.0% vs. 11.8%, P=0.343). Conclusions: The oncological safety and postoperative complications of TLPPG with intracorporeal anastomosis are similar to those of LAPPG with extracorporeal anastomosis.

  • 배경: 골육종 환자의 폐전이는 외과적 절제술이 표준치료로 인정되고 있으나 반복적인 폐전이에 대한 절제술의 역할은 아직 정립되어 있지 않다. 저자들은 폐전이를 보인 골육종 환자에서 반복적인 폐전이 절제술의 생존율과 예후인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년 1월부터 2005년 7월까지 골육종 폐전이를 진단받은 62명의 환자 중 폐전이 절제술을 시행받은 36명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 진행하였다. 결과: 36명의 환자에서 모두 62회의 폐전이 절제술을 시행했으며 18명에서 2차 폐전이 절제술을, 7명에서 3차 폐전이 절제술을, 1명에서 4차 폐전이 절제술을 시행하였다. 1차 폐전이 절제술 후 중앙 생존기간은 20.5개월, 3년 및 5년 생존율은 32.6% 및 29.4%로, 2차 폐전이절제술 후의 중앙생존기간 11.3개월, 3년 및 5년 생존율 34.9% 및 34.9%와 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 3차 폐전이 절제술 후 중앙 생존기간은 7.1개월로 유의하게 짧았다(p=0.01). 장기 생존한 군에서 비-장기 생존자에 비해 여성, 무병생존기간이 12개월 이상, 단일 전이 병소, 구역절제술 이상의 수술이 많았으나 통계학적 차이는 없었다. 결론: 골육종 환자에서 반복적인 폐전이 절제술은 유용한 치료방법이라 생각되며, 일부 환자에서는 장기 생존을 기대할 수 있었다. 예후인자에 대하여는 향후 더 많은 수의 환자를 대상으로 하는 추가적인 연구가 필요하리라 생각한다.

  • The present. study reports four cases of congenital heart diseases, who received open heart surgery by the Sarn's Heart-Lung-Machine in the department of Thoracic Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the period between July 1975 and May 1976. The Heart-Lung-Machine consisted of the Sarn's five head roller pump motor system (model 5000), heat exchanger, bubble trap, the Rygg-Kyvsgaard oxygenator, and monitors. The priming of pump oxygenator was carried out by the hemodilution method using Hartman's solution and whole blood. Of the four cases of the heart diseases, three whose body weight were below 30kg, received the partial hemodilution priming and the remaining one whose body weight was 52kg received the total hemodilution priming with Hartman's solution alone. The rate of hemodilution was in the average of 60.5ml/kg. Extracorporeal circulation was performed at the perfusion flow rate of the average 94.0ml/kg/min, and at the moderate hypothermia between 35'5"C and 30'5"C of the rectal temperature. In the total cardiopulmonary bypass, arterial blood pressure was anged between 30 mmHg and 85 mmHg, generally maintaining over 60 mmHg and venous pressure was measured between 4 and $23cmH_2O$, generally maintaining below $10cmH_2O$. The first case: The patient, a nine year old girl having the symptoms and physical signs typical to cardiac anomaly was definitely diagnosed as isolated pulmonary stenosis through the cardiac catheterization. There was, however, no cyanosis, no pathological finding by X-ray and E.C.G. tracings. The valvulotomy was performed through the arteriotomy of pulmouary artery under the total cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and murmur and the clinical symptoms disappeared. The second case: A 12 year old boy with congenital heart anomaly was positively identified as having ventricular septal defect through the cardiac catheterization. As in the case with the first case, the patient exhibited the symptoms and physical signs typical to cardiac anomaly, but no pathological abnormality by X-ray and E.C.G. tracings. The septal defect was localized on atrioventricular canal and was 2 by 10 mm in size. The septal defect was closed by direct simple sutures under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative hemodynamic study revealed that the pressure of the right ventricle and pulmonary artery were decreased satisfactory. Postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and murmur and the clinical symptoms disappeared. The third case: The patient, a 19 year old girl had been experienced the clinical symptoms typical to cardiac anomaly for 16 years. The pink tetralogy of Fallot was definitey diagnosed through the cardiac catheterization. The patient was placed on an ablolute bed rest prior to the operation because of severe exertional dyspnea, fatigability, and frequent syncopal attacks. However, she exhibited very slight cyanosis. Positive findings were noted on E.C.G. tracings and blood picture, but no evidence of pathological abnormality on X-ray was observed. All of the four surgical approaches such as Teflon patch closure (3 by 4cm in size) of ventricular septal defect, myocardial resection of right ventricular outflow tract, valvulotomy of pulmonary valvular stenosis, and pericardial patch closing of ventriculotomy wound were performed in 95 minutes under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative hemodynamic study revealed that the pressure of the right ventricle was decreased and pulmonary artery was increased satisfactorily. Postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and murmur and the clinical symptoms disappeared. The fourth case: The patient, a 7 1/4 year old girl had the symptoms of cardiac anomaly for only three years prior to the operation. She was positively identified as having acyanotic tetralogy of Fallot by open heart surgery. The patient showed positive findings by X-ray and E.C.G. tracings, but exhibited no cyanosis and normal blood picture. All of the three surgical approaches, such a myocardial resection of hypertrophic sight ventricular outflow tract, direct suture closing of ventricular septal defect and pericardial patch closing of ventriculotomy wound were carried out in 110 minutes under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative hemodynamic study revealed that the pressure of the right ventricle was decreased and pulmonary artery was increased satisfactorily. Postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and the symptoms disappeared.

  • 목적: 복강경 보조 위전절제술은 기술적 어려움과 환자수가 많지 않음으로 인하여 복강경 보조 위원위부 절제술에 비하여 연구가 많지 않은 상황이다. 따라서 저자들은 본원에서 시행한 복강경 보조 위전절제술의 수술성적과 수술후 경과 및 합병증 발생 예측인자와 복강경 보조 위전절제술의 학습곡선에 관하여 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2005년 1월부터 2007년 9월까지 술 전 검사상 위의 중 상부에 위치한 조기위암(cT1N0)을 진단받고 한 술자에 의해 복강경 보조 위전절제술을 시행 받은 연속적인 48명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록을 바탕을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 중 합병증이나 개복수술로의 전환은 없었고 평균 수술시간은 $212{\pm}67$분이었다. 평균 적출 림프절 개수는 $29{\pm}10$개였고 모든 환자에서 안전한 종양 경계 면이 확보되었다. 수술 후 가스배출, 식이시작, 퇴원시기는 각각 평균 2.98일, 3.67일, 7.08일이었다. 외과적 합병증은 5명(10.4%)에서 발생하였고 모두 보전적 치료로 호전되었다. 단변량 및 다변량 분석에서 합병증 발생에 영향을 주는 유일한 인자는 체질량지순(P=0.035, HR=2.462)였으며 수술 시간을 기준으로 한 학습곡선 분석에서 20예가 학습곡선인 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 복강경 보조 위전절제술은 위의 중 상부에 위치한 조기위암에 대한 적절한 술식이며 수술성적과 수술 후 경과가 양호하다. 그러나 학습곡선을 단축하기 위해서는 복강경 보조 위원위부절제술의 충분한 경험이 필요하며, 특히 초기경험에서는 수술 후 합병증을 줄이기 위하여 환자 선택에 있어서 체질량지수를 고려하는 게 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

  • 공동성 병소나 파괴된 폐를 적절한 시기에 제거하므로 다제내성환자와 중증환자의 양산을 감소시킬 수 있으리라는 관점에서 1989년 1월부터 1996년 6월 사이 7년 5개월간 본원에서 시행한 폐결핵환자 70명에대한 폐절제수술 71례를 대상으로 임상적으로 분석하였다. 1. 3~6개월간의 약물치료에도 불구하고 수술전 균음전화 실패을은 66.2%였고 균음전화 실패환자의 87.2%가 다제내성환자였다. 2. 다제내성군의 경우, 술전 균음전화 실패율은 71.9%였다. 3. 방사선 소견에 따른 폐절제술의 적응증은 공동성 병변이 43례(60.6%), 파괴폐가 24례(33.8%)였다. 4. 수술후 합병증은 20례(28.2%)에서 나타났으며 전례가 다제내성군이었다. 합병증 중에서 가장 흔한 것은 결 핵병변 확산이었다. 5. 양측성 병변에서,술후 결핵병변 확산은 7례(25%)에서 나타났으며 이 중 65례(85.7%)는 공동성 병변이었다. 6. 술전 균음전화에 실패한 47례의 폐절제술후 36례에서 균음전화(76.6%)되었으며, 다제내성군에서는 균음전 율이 73.2%였다. 약제내성군이면서 양측성 폐결핵의 경우 균음전율이 가장 낮았다(60%). 반면 약제 감수 성군에서의 균음전율은 위치에 관계없이 100%였다. 결국, 다제약제내성환자는 장기적인 약물치료에도 불구하고 술전에 균음전화 시키기가 어려울뿐 아니라, 술후 적절한 약제의 부족으로 재발등.수술후 합병증의 발생율을 높이고,술후 균음전화율을 감소시킨다. 여러 가지 이유로 다제내성환자의 증가가 문제인 우리나라\ulcorner서 다제내성환자에 대한 수술과 함께 다제내성환 자와 중증환자의 양산을 막는 것이 근본적인 해결책이라 생각되며 그 방법 중의 하나로 1차 결핵약제에 치 료를 실패했거나 내성을 가진 경우 2차 치료와 함께 수술을 고려해야 하며, 1차 치료 중이라도 수술 .적응이 되면 적극적으로 수술 치료를 시도해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objective : We analysed diverse clinical features of the cavernous angioma. Also, we report the experience in differ-ent methods of the management and their results. Method : Data from 80 patients who were confirmed pathologically or diagnosed radiologically between Jan. 1990 and Sept. 1998 at our hospital were analysed. Variable factors that were examined were : clinical features, effects of treatment, and complications. Results : There were 47 male and 33 female patients. The age at the first presentation was from 3 to 57(mean 34.1) years old. Clinical features were seizure in 28 cases(38%), bleeding in 24 cases(32%), neurologic deficits in 12 cases(16%), headache in 10 cases(14%), and six incidental cases. The locations of lesion were cerebral and cerebellar hemisphere in 45 cases(56.2%), brainstem, basal ganglia, and thalamus in 32 cases(40%), multiple in 3 cases (3.8%). Seizure was common at the third decade and occurred frequently with the cavernous angioma in temporal (43%) or frontal lobe(39%). Bleeding was frequent after the third decade with peak at the fourth decade and had high incidence in brainstem or thalamus. The gamma-knife radiosurgery was done in 47 cases. Rebleeding occurred in 3 cases, but it was within postradiosurgery 1 year. Symptomatic radiation change occurred in 2 cases of 8 radiation change on MRI. On follow-up MRI, no evidence of rebleeding was found in 30 cases. Also, The lesion size was decreased in 3 cases. Resection was performed in 23 cases ; total 20, subtotal 2, partial 1. Postoperative complication occurred in 6 cases(26.1%). After surgery, 7(63.6%) of 11 seizure patients had outcome of seizure-free. Subclinical rebleeding occurred in one of two subtotal resected cases. In 11 patients, conservative management was done. There was neither rebleeding nor symptom aggravation during follow-up period of mean 17.2 months. Conclusion : The solution for prevention of rebleeding is complete removal of the lesion located at noneloquent area or accessible region, especially for the patients who presented symptoms or intractable seizure. However, the Gamma knife radiosurgery is considered when the lesions are located at eloquent area or when severe postoperative morbidity is expected.

  • Soft tissue sarcoma of the head and neck is not frequent neoplasm, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant neoplasm in the region. The histological varieties include osteogenic sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, tenosynovial sarcoma, angiosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcomas of the head and neck usually occur in children under the age of 10 years (over 70%) and rarely develop in adults over the age of 20 years. The prevalent sites of involvement include the orbit, nasal cavity, external ear, paranasal sinus and soft tissue of mouth and the primary location of tumor is considered to be one of the important prognostic factors. Before the 1960s, when surgical resection was the only method of treatment, the 5-year survival rate was less than 20%, but recently it has been greatly improved by the multimodality treatment, combining surgery with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Here we treated a rhabdomyosarcoma woman with three cycles of high dose chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. After the, completion of preoperative treatments, successful result of more than partial response was achieved. Three months later total maxillectomy and radical neck dissection was performed. There was no evidence of tumor infiltration in the resected tumor and regional lymphnodes but metastasized tumor cells in cervical lymphnodes were detected. Tumor cell infiltration was also found on the bone marrow biopsy to evaluate the pancytopenia which occurred during postoperative recovery. Two months later she died of secondary bone marrow failure. We think that this multimodality treatment combining pre-operative chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery might play an important role in curative resection and eyeball preservation in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma involving the eyeball.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the treatment outcomes of adjuvant external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and vaginal brachytherapy (VB) following radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer patients with involved vaginal resection margin (VRM). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 21 patients treated with postoperative EBRT and VB for positive VRM FIGO stage IB-IIA cervical cancer between 2003 and 2015. Concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy was administered to all patients. Results: The median whole pelvis EBRT dose was 50.4 Gy (range, 45 to 50.4 Gy). In the VB, the median dose per fraction, number of fractions, and total dose delivered were: 4 Gy (range, 3.0 to 4.0 Gy), 4 fractions (range, 3 to 5 fractions), and 16 Gy (range, 12 to 20 Gy), respectively. At a median follow-up of 46 months (range, 9 to 122 months), local recurrence was observed in 2 patients, and distant metastasis was present in 7 patients. All patients with local recurrence subsequently developed distant metastases. The 5-year local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 89.1%, 65.9%, and 62.9%, respectively. Of the 21 patients, 7 patients (33.3%) reported grade 2 acute toxicity; however, there were no grade 3 or higher acute adverse events. Grade 1-2 late toxicities were observed in 8 patients. Late grade 3 urinary toxicity was reported in 1 patient. Conclusions: Adjuvant EBRT and VB showed excellent local control and low toxicity in cervical cancer patients with positive VRM. Although limited by its retrospective nature, the findings from our study provide evidence supporting the use of additional VB in pathologically involved VRM.
