Surgical procedures on the trachea have only been undertaken within the past 50 years. Knowing the unique blood supply of the trachea and how to reduce tension on any anastomosis are key to a successful outcome. Tracheal conditions requiring surgery usually present with shortness of breath on exertion, and preoperative evaluation involves computed tomography and rigid bronchoscopy. Tracheal resection and reconstruction can be safely performed with excellent outcomes by following a well-described technique.

The purpose of this study was to review the literatures of experimental tracheal reconstruction. Although there have been significant advancements in the surgical treatment of the long circumferential tracheal injuries, there still has been a difficult problem with high morbidity and mortality. The method for tracheal reconstruction after circumferential resection is preferred end-to-end anastomosis for defects up to 6 cm in length, but larger tracheal defects require the use of tracheal allograft, various artificial prosthesis or autogenous organs. The tracheal allotransplantation has been widely used as there was significantly improved the method of surgical technique, preservation and immunosuppression. But it has been limited by a number of factors such as few donor, limited use of immunosuppressant, delayed revascularization and re-epitheliazation. Experimental studies on the tracheal prosthesis have a long history and they tried to use silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene mesh, Dacron, Marlex mesh, external or internal stents. Other experimental studies were reported the use of autogenous tissues that were cartilage. jejunum, aorta, skin, muscle, periostium or esophagus. But a great variety of these protheses have been resulted unsatisfactory in a significant Proportion of cases. Alternatively, the tissue-engineering technique has showed a new approach to reconstruct trachea and much progress in tissue-engineering bas been made recently. In conclusion, although the tracheal allotransplantation and the use of prosthesis and allograft have been reported a lot of limitation to overcome, we could sooner expect good result of ideal tracheal prosthesis.

최근 급속히 증가 추세에 있는 각종 산업재해와 교통사고로 인한 심한 신체적 손상, 심혈관계수술 및 호흡계수술등을 받은 환자에서 기도유지를 위해 사용되는 기관내삽관과 기관절개위의 후유증 또는 두부외상으로 발생하는 외상성 기관협착의 빈도가 점차 높아짐에 따라서 이에 대한 치료로 기관성형술이 주목할만한 관심을 보여주고 있다. 기관성형술의 방법으로는 손상된 기관의 위치나 크기에 따라 여러 가지가 있으나 부분절제 및 단단문합술, 경부피변과 자가이식물질등을 이용한 재건술을 들 수 있다. 1965년 Grillo가 개에서 환상절제후 기관성형술을 시행한 이래 환상기관협착의 경우에는 부분절제및 단단문합술이 많이 이용되고 있다. 또한 자가이식물질로는 비중격, 늑골, 이개의 연골이 많이 사용되고 있으며, Consiglio와 Caputo가 이개연골을 이용하여 기관성형술을 시행한 이래 Morgenstein은 기관결손이 있는 환자에서 이개연골을 사용하여 혼합이식을 시행하여 성공적인 재건을 보고하였다. 이개연골이식은 이비인후과의사에게는 쉽게 채취하여 활용할 수 있고 친근감이 있는 장점이 있다. 최근 본교실에서는 5예의 기관협착증 환자에서 이개연골이식(2예), 부분절제후 단단문합술(3예)에 의한 기관성형술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Primary neoplasms of the trachea are rare, but are a very serious critical life-threatening disease. Nearly all the lesions of the trachea are presented as obstructive lesions. Bronchoscopic examination including chest C-T, tomogram and air tracheogram are essential for the further definition of these lesions. The need for removal of tracheal tumors whether complete or incomplete, is clear enough regardless of the histology of the tumor. We have experienced 9 cases from Jan. 1965 to June, 1985. One patient with tracheal hamartoma was cured with complete resection through rigid bronchoscopy and another patient with fibrous histiocytoma was treated with re-excision and laser evaporation through superior mediastinotomy due to recurrence, 1 year later. The remaining patients were treated with mass excision or segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis through collar incision and superior mediastinal sternotomy. The remaining two patients were operated with and segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis of trachea using partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The histologic diagnosis were adenoid cystic Ca[5], fibrous histiocytoma[1], mucoepidermoid Ca[1]. hamartoma[1], anaplastic Ca.[1]. Three patients were treated post-operatively with radiation; with adenoid cystic Ca.[2] and anaplastic Ca.[1]. Their post-operative courses were uneventful during the follow-up from 2 months to 7 years.

From 1988 to 1995, 59 patients with laryngotracheal stenosis were operated with resection of stenotic segment and end to end anastomosis in Seoul national university. Among these patients, 36 were tracheal stenosis, 17 were combined lesion of subglottis and trachea and 5 were subglottic stenosis. The success of procedure was determined by stoma closure or decannulation and an overall 89.8% success rate was achieved following 165 procedures. The success rate showed correlation with severity of stenosis and the number of procedures done was related to the site of stenosis. There was no mortality and granulation formation, unilateral vocal cord palsy were the common complication of end to end procedures.

Eight patients underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction for tracheostomy and postintubation injuries from 1971 to early 1981. The ages ranged from 12 years to 59 years. The patients had 7-cuff stenosis and one stomal lesion in whom intubated long. Four male and four female patients were treated. Cervical approach was used in one, cervicomediastinal in 3 and transthoracic in four. The longest length of resection extended to 4 cm in whom cervico-upper half mediastinal incision and neck flexion were applied. Techniques for obtaining tension-free anastomosis included cervical flexion or division of the inferior pulmonary ligament and mobilization of the right hilum. Concurrent tracheostomy was not needed in all. There was one death at the end of emergency operation from anesthetic accident. Granulations at the anastomosis line, necessitating bronchoscopy, were noted in two and the lesion did not recurred after removal. No restenosis or other complications occurred during long follow-up.

기관 무명동맥루는 매우 드문 질환이지만 일단 발생하면 예후가 아주 불량하며 치명적일 수 있다. 본 인제대학교 상계백병원 흉부외과학 교실에서는 한 명의 환자에서 기관 절개술 후 합병된 기관 협착증에 대한 기관 재건술 후 기관 무명동맥루가 발생하였다. 본 례는 11세의 소녀로 뇌동정맥 기형으로 뇌실외 유출로 조성술 및 4회에 걸친 신경외과적 수술을 받은 환자로서 6개월 전에 기관 절개술을 받았다. 이기관 절개술 후 5개월 후부터 호홉 곤란과 발작성 기침을 호소하여 기관 협착증으로 진단받고 본과로 전과되어 기관 협착 부위의 절제 및 단단 문합으로 기관 재건술을 시행하였다. 기관 재건술 후 3일째 다량의 출혈이 발생하여 기관 무명동맥루로 진단하였고 무명 동맥의 파열 부위의 봉합 및 기관의 재 재건술로 응급수술을 시행하였으나 재 수술후 3일째 재 출혈로 사망하였다.

12세된 여자 환자에서 한국에서는 처음으로 심장-폐 동시이식이 성공적으로 이루어 졌다. 환아는 심실 중격결손증이 없는 폐동맥 폐쇄증으로 좌폐부전과 함께 우심실의존성 관상동맥혈류를 가지고 있었으며 개심술에 의한 일반적인 심장 수술은 불가능하였다. 장기 제공자는 9세된 남아로 교통사고에 의한 뇌출혈이 사망의 원인이었다. 심장폐이식은 1997년 4월 20일 이루어 졌다. 이식시 수술 방법은 소위 아리조나 방법으로 양측 폐문부를 환아의 횡격막 신경위로 놓는 방법을 사용하였는데 수술시 지혈에 큰도움이 되었다. 수술후 환자는 두가지 큰 합병증이 발생하였는데 하나는 발열이고 둘째는 기관 문합부위 협착을 들수가 있다. 수술후에 계속되었던 발열은 결핵약 투여후 극적으로 소실되었으며 기관 협착에 의한 호흡 곤란은 수술후 제 71일째 실시한 금속성 그물망에 의한 확장으로 치유 되었다. 환자는 수술후 7개월째 호흡 곤란은 보이지 않고 있으며 운동 및 일상 생활에 지장이 없이 양호한 상태로 지내고 있다.

A 37 year old male patient was suffered from severe labored breathing caused by post tracheostomy stenosis, which was localized at the mediastinal trachea [cuffed tracheal stenosis] and ranged 1.5 cm in length and approximately 3 ram. in diameter on tracheogram. After dilation of tracheal stenosis with dilator, endotracheal intubation was tried for induction of anesthesia and control of respiration during operation. A tube was placed just beyond the tracheal stenosis without respiratory difficulty. Under the endotracheal anesthesia, circumferential resection of the mediastinal trachea containing the stenosis, approximately 2 cm in length [4 tracheal rings}, was carried out and primary direct end to end anastomosis was performed with interrupted submucosal sutures [3-0 Dexon] and mobilization of trachea Postoperative tracheostomy was not performed. The patient was completely relieved from dyspnea immediately after operation. Post-operative convalescence was entirely uneventful and at present, about 3 months after operation, he is now conducting a usual life. From the literature and our experience, the etiology and treatment of post-tracheostomy stenosis were discussed.
