The history of esophageal replacement in infants or children is the history of development of various kinds of alternative conduits such as stomach, colon, and small bowel. The gastric tube has been the most widely used conduit. From January 1988 to May 2003, 23 esophageal replacements with gastric tube were performed at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Seoul National University Childrens Hospital. Statistical analysis was performed using Windows SPSS11.0 Pearson exact test. There were Gross type A(n=10), type B(n=1), type C(n=11), type D(n=1). Ten patients who had long gap esophageal atresia (type A-8, type B-1, type C-1) and 13 patients (type A 2, type C-10, type D-1) who had stenosis, leakage, recurred tracheoesophageal fistula, and esophagocutaneous fistula after previous corrective operations, had esophageal replacement with gastric tube. Mean follow-up periods were 4 year 2 months (7 months-15 year 1 month). There were postoperative complications including GERD in 16 (69.6 %), leakages in 7 (30.4 %), diverticulum at anastomosis in 2 (8.7 %), anastomosis site stenosis in 4 (17.3 %), and distal stenosis of the gastric tube in 1 (4.3 %). There was no statistical significance between operation types and postoperative leakage and gastroesophageal reflux. In conclusion, esophageal replacement with gastric tube may be a useful surgical option in esophageal atresia with long gap and esophageal atresia complicated by previous corrective operation.

배경: 식도 문합술은 여러가지 문합방법과 문합재료를 사용해오고 있지만 문합부 누출과 협착이 다른 장문합에 비해 빈번하고 발생하면 중한 결과를 초래한다. 최근 저자들은 식도문합술 거의 대부분에서 polypropylene사를 이용한 단속단층 문합술을 시행하고 있다. 대상 및 방법: 이에 본 동아대학교병원 흉부외과에서는 1990년 4월부터 1996년 12월까지 시행한 식도문합술 90례의 임상결과를 분석하여 이 문합방법의 효용성을 알아 보기위해 이 연구를 시행하였다. 문합부 누출은 모두 5례(5.6%)에서 발생하였고 이 중 1례가 사망하였다. 결과: 문합부 협착은 수술 생존자를 대상으로 조사하였는데 모두 15례(17.4%)에서 발생하였다. 이 협착은 식도-위 문합술에서 가장 높은 빈도(22%)로 나타났고, 식도-대장문합술에서 가장 낮은 빈도(5%)로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다른 여러학자들의 자동 문합기에 의한 문합방법을 포함한 다른 문합방법들의 결과들과 비교할만한 결과였다. 결론: 저자들은 식도문합에 있어 이 문합방법은 식도폐쇄증 교정을 포함한 여러 식도문합에서 만족스러운 결과로 계속 사용되어 질 수 있으리라고 생각된다.

기관식도루를 동반한 식도폐 쾌는 식도의 선천성 기 형중 흔한 형태로서 분만직후 이학적 검사상 간과 되는 것이 보통이다. 기관식도루를 동반한 식도폐쇄는 1696년에 Thomas Gibson이 처음 발표하였다. 본 원에서 4례의 선천성 하부기 관식도루를 동반한 식도폐쇄에서 우측 제 4늑간을 통하여 후흥막 접근법으 로 일차적 교정 술을 시 행하였다. 모든 환자에서 Haight 단단문합술을 시 행하였다. 수술후 2례의 환자에 서 문합부위의 심한 첩착소견을 보였고 1례의 환자에서 경한 협착소견을 보였다. 문합부위의 심한 협 착 이 있는i례의 환자에서 풍선식 식도확장술을시행하였다.

Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a narrowing of the esophageal lumen from birth. Three types of CES have been described; tracheobronchial remnants (TBR), membranous web (MW), and fibromuscular stenosis (FMS). We reviewed the clinical features and the surgical outcome of 14 patients, pathologically confirmed as CES. Nine patients had TBR, 3 FMS, and 2 MVV. The mean age at operation was 3.8 years. Five patients were boys and 9 girls. Four patients had other congenital anomalies. Segmental resection of the lesion and end to end anastomosis was utilized in all cases except one who underwent myotomy. The stenotic segment was located at the distal esophagus in all patients. There were 8 complications in 6 patients, but no mortality. The mean follow-up period was 68 months. There were no feeding problems but 3 patients had minor gastroesophageal reflux. Our result indicates that segmental resection and anastomosis is a satisfactory surgical procedure in the management of CES.

본 국립의료원 흉부외과에서는 식도재건술에 따르는 아주 보기 드문 합병증을 경험하였다. 환자는 1969년 양잿물 섭취에 의하여 일년 뒤 양성 식도협착으로 발전하였다. 1972년 회결장을 이용한 식도 재건술을 실시 하였으나 복부 창상감염으로 농이 배출되었다. 그후로 창상부위에 분열과 유합이 되풀이 되었다. 1996년 이식한 결장의 협착으로 절제술 및 단단문합술을 시행하였다. 술중감염으로 인하여 염증반응이 진행하여 이식물의 협착을 초래하게 되었다고 결론지었다.

82 cases of esophageal stenosis due to lye solution in our hospital, which is surgicallly treated with retrosternal esophagoplasty were reported. female was 2 times more then male and average age is 30 years old. Dyphagia and precordial pain were chief complaint. In this technique, jejunum, right and left colon were substituted for constricted esophagus. Postoperative complication rate 14.6%, mortality rate due to other complication were 21.9% but had not seen in this operative technique.

Vascular ring, caused by Kommerell's diverticulum and ligamentum arteriosum, in a patient with right aortic arch and mirror image branching is extremely rare. A 10-month-old boy with coughing and stridor was diagnosed as having tracheo-esophageal stenosis, which is caused by a vascular ring with Kommerell's diverticulum, ligamentum arteriosum, right aortic arch, and mirror image branching. Kommerell's diverticulum was successfully resected via a left thoracotomy. The patient has been free from tracheo-esophageal stenosis for a year after the surgery.

A rare case of esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA-TEF) with an associated tracheobronchial remnant (TBR) is reported and discussed herein. A 13-month-old patient was seen with a complaint of vomiting of solid food 1 year after EA-TEF repair. An esophagogram showed a tapered narrowing in the lower segment of the esophagus. A re-operation was carried out and a pathologic examination of the resected stenotic segment revealed the presence of a TBR.

기관기관지 잔유조직에 의한 선천성 식도협착은 드문 질환으로 주로 중·하부 식도에 혼히 발생한다. 발생원인은 태생기 원시 전장에서 식도와 기도가 정상적인 분리를 못하여 식도벽내에 기관지 연골조직이 존재하며, 이로 인하여 연하곤란이 생후 직후부터 서서히 생기게 된다. 4세의 여아가 최근 2년간 악화된 연하곤란을 주소로 입원하였다. 식도이완 불능증의 진단하에 수술을 시행하였으며, 식도-위 경계부 상방 4cm부위에서 백색의 단단한 결절성의 종괴를 발견하였다. 수술은 종괴를 제거하고 식도의 확장 성형술을 시행하였으며, 술후 조직 소견상 기관연골과 기관지점 막 상피로 밝혀졌다.

Background Insertion of tracheal stent in the treatment of benign tracheal & bronchial disease has increased since the introduction of expandable metallic stent. Material & Methods : Between Jan, 1995 and Feb. 2004, eight patients who had benign tracheo-bronchial disease underwent insertion of expandable metallic tracheal stent. We retrospectively analyzed stent insertion indications, complications, and following the result. Results : Surgical indications were post-intubation tracheal stenosis (1 case), tracheal stenosis following tracheal surgery (2 cases), tracheo-esophageal fistula (2 cases), broncho-pleural fistula(1 case), left main bronchus stenosis following bronchoplasty (1 case), and left main bronchus stenosis due to mediastinal repositioning (1 case). Expandable metallic tracheal stent was inserted in five patients to resolve dyspnea caused by airway obstruction, and to prevent recurrent pneumonia in three patients. The complication developed in 6 patients $75\%$; 3 cases of distal stenosis due to growth of granulation tissue, and one case each of tearing of posterior membrane, aggravation of tracheo-esophageal fistula, and airway partial obstruction due to stent migration. The stent was removed in 5 patients and tracheal surgery (tracheal resection and end to end anastomosis with primary repair of esophagus, pericardial patch tracheo-bronchoplasty, tracheal repair and omental wrapping) was performed in 3 patients. Conclusion Insertion of self expandable metallic stent in benign tracheo-bronchial disease is an effective means of relieving dyspnea for only a short period, and it did not increase the long term survival. Better means of treatment of benign tracheo-bronchial stenosis in necessary.
