Laparoscopic gastrectomy has been widely accepted especially in patients with early-stage gastric cancer. However, the safety and oncologic validity of laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer are still being debated. Since the late 90s', we have been engaged in developing a stable and robust methodology of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer, and have established laparoscopic distinctive technique for suprapancreatic lymph node dissection, namely the outermost layer-oriented medial approach. In this article, We present the development history of this method, and current status and future perspectives of laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer based on our experience and a review of the literature.

When the external force was applied to the orbit the most thin area might be displaced. These were usually orbital floor and/or medial wall of orbit. Among these cases some who showed the entrapment of the muscle between the fractured fragments needed the surgical treatment. We had operated 4 cases of the "blow-out" fracture via subciliary approach. The entrapped muscles were freed from fragments and the bony defect was restored with micro-titanium mesh. Mean follow-up periods was 15 months and there were no complication observed.

Giant cavernous malformations (GCMs) occur very rarely and little has been reported about their clinical characteristics. The authors present a case of a 20-year-old woman with a GCM. She was referred due to two episodes of generalized seizure. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance image demonstrated a heterogeneous multi-cystic lesion of $7\times5\times5$ cm size in the left frontal lobe and basal ganglia, and enhancing vascular structure abutting medial portion of the mass. These fingings suggested a diagnosis of GCM accompanying venous angioma. After left frontal craniotomy, transcortical approach was done. Total removal was accomplished and the postoperative course was uneventful. GCMs do not seem differ clinically, surgically or histopathologically from small cavernous angiomas, but imaging appearance of GCMs may be variable. The clinical, radiological feature and management of GCMs are described based on pertinent literature review.

The azygos anterior cerebral artery, a rare anomaly in the circle of Willis in which only a single vessel supplies the medial aspects of both anterior cerebral hemispheres, is closely associated with saccular aneurysms. We present three cases of azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysms among the 781 cerebral aneurysms surgically treated at our institution in an 11-year period. These three cases all involved elderly women who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conventional cerebral angiography and CT angiography revealed small saccular aneurysms at the distal ends of the azygos anterior cerebral arteries. These aneurysms were clipped successfully using a bifrontal interhemispheric approach. Hence, the pathogenesis of these particular aneurysms relating to hemodynamic change, associated anomalies, and surgical pitfalls is discussed with review of literature.

A rare case of intraventricular meningioma that arose in the atrium of the left lateral ventricle was identified in a 51-year-old woman. Gross total removal was performed by transcortical approach. Histopathological findings showed meningothelial meningioma with a focal atypical area which had 8% of Ki-67 labeling index (LI). A large recurrence extending into the ipsilateral quadrigeminal cistern and opposite medial occipital lobe developed approximately 41 months after the first operation. The specimens obtained from the second resection showed atypical meningioma with 20% of Ki-67 LI but there were no anaplastic area. The patient underwent fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. However, multiple local distant metastases were found in the occipital and cerebellar cortex suggesting cerebrospinal fluid dissemination apparently 24 months after the second operation. This report presents chronological progression of a rare intraventricular atypical meningioma with more aggressive transformation.

Panfacial bone fracture is challenging. Even experienced surgeons find restoration of original facial architecture difficult because of the severe degree of fragmentation and loss of reference segments that could guide the start of facial reconstruction. To restore the facial contour, surgeons usually follow a general sequence for panfacial bone reduction. Among the sequences, the bottom-to-top and outside-in sequence is reported to be the most widely used in recent publications. However, a single sequence cannot be applied to all cases of panfacial fractures because of the variations in panfacial bone fracture patterns. In this article, we intend to find the reference and discuss the efficacy of inside-out sequence in facial bone fracture reconstruction.

This study is to analyze the kinematic variables in release motion of discuss throwing. For the matter, 5 people from the national team and collegiate discuss throwing in the year 2001 were chosen as the subjects and two S-VHS video cameras set in 60frames/sec were used for recording their motions. Coordinated raw positions data through digitizing are smoothing by butter-worth 's low-pass filtering method at a cut off frequency 6.0Hz. and the direct linear transformation(DLT) method was employed to obtain 3-D position coordinates. The conclusions were as follows; 1. The better record players showed the shorter approach time in the last support phase. 2. In the displacement CG, the better record players showed the shorter displacement in medial-lateral direction, and the longer displacement in horizontal direction. In the motion, the COG showed longer displacement vertical direction. 3. The better record players showed the faster horizontal velocity than vertical velocity in the release. 4. The better record players showed to take the posture of vertical axis in the release.

Xanthelasma palpebrarum is the most common cutaneous xanthoma found on the medial side of the eyelid. The typical lesion is usually a flat and yellowish plaque on the skin. However, we report on a unique case of intramuscular xanthoma found during blepharoplasty for the correction of ptosis. A 53-year-old male patient visited our department with a complaint of a ptotic eyelid. He was concerned about the cosmetic appearance and the uncomfortable feeling while opening his eyes, and wanted these problems to be solved. A yellowish plaque of about $0.3{\times}0.3cm$ in size was found in the orbicularis oculi muscle during the surgery. The lesion was excised and xanthelasma was confirmed with biopsy. We have found this specific case of xanthelasma palpebrarum in the only muscle. Therefore, a careful approach to clinical and histologic examination and imaging is required for patients with these lesions.

목적: 내측 연골판 후각부의 관절경 수술시 전내측 삽입구의 피부 표식으로 슬개골 하극이 사용 가능한지를 전향적으로 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 정상 성인 슬관절 50예(1군), 마취하 정상 슬관절 10예(2군), 비교적 단순한 슬관절 병변의 치료 또는 진단적 관절경 시술을 받은 연속적 슬관절 50예(3군)를 대상으로 1, 2군에서 정 측면 단순 방사선 영상(A)과 외반 부하 정 측면 방사선 영상(B)을 30도 굴곡에서 촬영하여 A, B에서 대퇴골 내과의 연골 두께를 고려하지 않은 경우 (1, 2-A, B군) 및 B에서 이를 2.5 mm로 가정한 경우 (1, 2-C군)로 구분하여 슬개골 하극과 대퇴골 내과의 최고 원위부의 연결선 (전내측 삽입구 선)을 그었다. 이 선과 내측 경골 고평부의 접점 (C-D 백분율), 슬개골 하극과 전방 관절선 사이의 거리 (E-길이), 내측 경골-대퇴 관절의 간격 (F-길이)을 계측하였다. 3군은 슬개골 하극 위치에 전내측 삽입구를 만들고, 내측 연골판 후각부 및 외측 연골판 체부로의 접근성을 평가하였다. 결과: 평균 C-D 백분율은 1-A, B, C군에서 85.8, 101.3, 69.1%, 2-A, B, C군에서 102.4, 144.6, 116.8% 였다. 평균 E-길이는 15.1(1-A군), 15.5(1-B, C군), 13.1(2-A군), 12.9 mm(2-B, C군)였고, 1, 2군에서 외반 부하유무에 따른 이들 값의 변화는 통계학적 유의성이 없었다. F-길이는 외반 부하에 의해 1, 2군에서 평균 1.2, 3.6 mm 증가하였고, 통계학적으로 유의성이 있었다(p<0.001, p<0.001). 3군에서 슬개골 하극 위치에 만든 전내측 삽입구는 내측 연골판 후각부 및 외측 연골판의 체부로의 접근성은 각각 49, 48예에서 우수하였다. 결론: 슬개골 하극이 내측 연골판 후각부의 관절경 수술시 전내측 삽입구의 피부 표식으로 유용함을 확인하였다.
