The introduction of end-to-end anastomosis stapler [EEA stapler] into esophageal surgery has reduced the mortality and morbidity associated with esophageal resection mainly owing to a reduction in the incidence of accidence of anastomotic leak. We now report the results of the 37 patients undergoing esophagectomy or esophagogastrectomy with EEA stapler in the department of cardiothoracic Surgery, Kosin Medical Center No leakage was demonstrated in the 37 esophagogastric anastomotic sites, but dehiscence of the TA stapled gastrotomy suture line occurred in two patient One patient was recovered with conservative treatment but the other patient was died due to hepatic metastasis of esophageal carcinoma during conservative treatment. And one severe esophagogastric anastomotic stricture was developed at the 30th postoperative day, but improved after dilatation with balloon dilatation catheter of Swiss Med. Tech. Company. The other complications were postoperative pneumonia[1 case], wound disruption and infection[3 cases], but all of 4 patients were recovered with conservative treatment. We experienced relative good postoperative results with use of EEA stapler in esophageal surgery. On the basis of our experience, we believe that the EEA stapler has definite place in esophageal surgery.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to present a reliable method of scrotal reconstruction. Methods: 75 year - old - man visited the out patient department of urology for chronic itching sensation in his scrotal area, diagnosed as Bowen's disease. After the wide resection of scrotal lesion, reconstruction was carried with pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap. All operation procedure was done with an usual manner, previously reported. Donor site was closed primarily. Results: In 6th month follow - up period, there was no event, such as flap necrosis, wound dehiscence, tumor recurrence. And tactile sensation was recovered. Conclusion: In the Korean literature, there have not been the report that describes the reconstruction of scrotal defect using pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap. Pedicled anterolateral thigh perforator flap is reliable and robust flap for scrotal reconstruction.

Pectus excavatum, commonest developmental anomaly of chest wall, is manifested by depression of the sternum and lower costal cartilages that is of surgical interest. From 1982 through 1990, fifteen patients have undergone surgery for treatment of pectus excavatum and treated by Ravitch operation: 5, Modified Ravitch operation; 4, Wada operation, 1 and Modified Wada operation, 5. There was familial history of pectus excavatum in 3 patients. Associated congenital anomaly were seen in 6 patients; scoliosis in 3 patients, right inguinal hernia in 1, polydactyly in 1 and patent ductus arteriosus in 1 patent. Postoperative minor complications were developed in 3 cases; pneumothorax, 2 cases; pleural effusion, 2 cases; wound infection and dehiscence, 1 cases; pressure sore due to strut malposition, 2 cases; flail chest and 2 cases; seroma. The incidence of the postoperative complications were more common in cases who were treated by metal strut, pin or other prosthetic materials for supporting the chest wall integrity than the standard corrective procedure. All cases have no recurrence of chest wall depression and operative death.

Ginseng seeds were gathered from 3,4,5 and 6 years of age and were classified into four qroups (below 4mm, 4∼5mm, 5∼6mm and above 6mm in across sieve). They were sown in seedling bed and some characters were investigated in each qroup of seed size. 1. The distribution of seed size of below 4mm, 4-5mm, 5-6mm and 6mm were 23.7%, 60.8%, 12.4% and 4.5%, respectively. 2. The ratio of seed coat dehiscence was not affected by seed size but emergence ratio and emerging vigor were superior in large seed. 3. The large seed showed superiority in stem length, stem diameter, leat and also in root length, root diameter and root weight. but diseased root was not affected by seed size. The effect of age(seed harvest) was not significant on all those characters.

A 25-month-old patient with complete atrioventricular septal defect and Tetralogy of Fallot underwent repair of both anomalies. The diagnosis was established preoperatively by 2D-echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and cardioangiogram, Repair was accomplished using cardiopulmonary bypass and profound hypothermia to 18C, Closing of the atrioventricular septal defect was achieved with the use of two Dacron patchs by an atrial approach alone. Infundibulectomy and outflow tract reconstruction with the transannular pericadial patch containing a monocusp were performed. Upon the postoperative evaluation by 2D-echocardiography, mitral regurgitation was absent, but a tiny dehiscence of ventricular patch and minimal tricuspid regurgitation were noticed.

Between March 1978 and December 1985, 39 patients were admitted to our hospital & surgery was performed to 27 patients. Among 39 patients, male patients were 31 cases, female 8 cases and the age ranged from 42 years old to 69 yrs old with the average of 55 years old. Main symptoms of esophageal cancer were dysphagia [6%], weight loss [20%], retrosternal and epicardial discomfort [18%], hoarseness [13%], and hiccup [5%]. The anatomical locations of esophageal cancer were followed as; 51% in lower esophagus & cardia, 44% in middle, and 5% in upper esophagus. Among 27 cases, 5 cases were managed by feeding gastrostomy and jejunostomy due to inoperability, 19 cases by esophagogastrostomy, and 3 cases by colon bypass with the resection of esophageal cancer. Postoperative complications were noticed in 7 cases, such as anastomotic leakage in 2 cases [7%], respiratory insufficiency in 2 cases [7%], intussusception in 1 case [4%], wound dehiscence in 1 case [4%], and hepatitis in 1 case [4%]. Among 2 respiratory insufficiency, 2 patients die as a result of that complication and operative mortality was 7%.

For the successful guided bone regeneration(GBR) of maxillary bony defect, proper soft tissue coverage is one of the most important things. Soft tissue dehiscence can be most common reason of osseous reconstruction failure. If a vascular supply to the graft should not develop from the host tissue, then the graft may also foil. Both of these prerequisites can be aided by judicious use of the buccal fat pad(BFP). Many methods for adequate soft tissue coverage have been proposed and the use of the BFP is one of them. BFP is useful in posterior maxillary area, can cover larger area and have higher blood flow than other methods. so the use of the BFP may offer protection and early blood supply to maxillary bone graft. This report describes the history, anatomy, blood flow, and clinical usefulness with two clinical cases.

Comparative morphology of winter buds of 16 species of gymnosperms which belong to six families and 13 genera was investigated. All the species examined except Taxaceae had bracts and ovuliferous scales in female buds, and the bract was fused with ovuliferous scale in various degrees. Comparison of the modern conifers with fossil ones in the position of ovule and structure of bract-scale complex suggested that Taxaceae should be placed in Coniferales, rather than treating as a distinct order. The disposition of bract surrounding the ovules of Cephalotaxus and Torreya indicated that the origin, of ovules had separate evolutionary line in spite of similar structure of female bud. The shape of microsporophyll in male bud was diverse among the species. The dehiscence of microsporangium was transverse in Abies and Tsuga, while longitudinal in other species. Descriptions and key to the species based on bud morphology were provided.

The use of the patient`s pulmonary valve for replacement of the patient`s diseased aortic valve was introduced and developed by Mr. Donald Ross. The long term benefits of having a normal, fully viable, trileaflet semilunar valve in aortic position was demonstrated. A 38 year old male had histories of failures of previously implanted aortic prosthetic valves twice and evidence of progressive heart failure. At operation, aortic root abscess was found; the abscess extension to adjacent structures and partial valve dehiscence had occurred. The patient underwent replacement of the aortic root with autologous pulmonary valve, autologous pericardial patch repair of left ventricuar outflow tract and recontruction of the right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery with prosthetic valved conduit. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well. Postoperative doppler echocardiography demonstrated minimal central regurgitation in new aortic valve. Aortic root replacement with pulmonary autograft in a patient of recurrent aortic root abscess and false aneurysm of left ventricuar outflow tract was experienced and reported with follow up echocardiography.
