  • Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results and prove the effectiveness of arthroscopic capsular release in refractory adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. Materials and Methods: We preformed arthroscopic capsular refractory adhesive capsulitis that not responded by stretching execies for above 1 year. 21 cases were followed above 1 year and average follow up 3 years 1 months (1${\sim}$5 years). We checked VAS of pain, ADL of function. UCLA score which were evaluated at preoperation, postoperation 6 months, 1 years and last follow up period, and compared with each other at last follow up. Results: The VAS score improved average preoperative score 8 to average postoperative score1, the ADL score improved average preoperative score 7 to average postoperative score 26, the UCLA score improved average preoperative score 8 to average postoperative score 34. Forward elevation improved average preoperative 75 degrees to average postoperative 175 degrees, external rotatiion at side improved average preoperative 4 degrees to average postoperative 52 degrees, abduction improved average Preoperative 60 degrees to average postoperative 170 degrees, internal rotation at posterior improved preoperative thigh-lumbar 3 spinous process to postoperative 7th thoracic spinous process~9th thoracic spinous process. Conclusion: Arthroscopic capsular release in refractory adhesive capsulitis that non responsive to stretching exercise for above 1 year were effective treatment method.

  • Newborn infants with huge and highly vascular sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) are frequently subjected to renal hypoperfusion secondary to high-output cardiac failure. Any underlying renal dysfunction is a significant risk factor for the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). However, reports on CIN in infants are rare. I report here a case of a premature infant born at 28 weeks and 3 days of gestation with a huge SCT who survived preoperative embolization and surgical resection but presented with persistent non-oliguric renal failure that was suggestive of CIN. During radiological intervention, a contrast medium had been administered at about 10 times the manufacturer-recommended dose for pediatric patients. Despite hemodynamic stabilization and normalization of urine output immediately following surgery, the patient's serum creatinine and cystatin-C levels did not return to baseline until 4 months after birth. No signs of reflux nephropathy were observed in follow-up imaging studies. Dosing guidelines for the use of a contrast medium in radiological interventions should be provided for infants or young patients.

  • It is frequently difficult to assess the presence of malignancy in patients with parotid tumor, because of unreliable diagnostic tools and riskful preoperative biopsy, In our case, a parotid adenocarcinoma and pleomorphic adenoma was revealed on permanent histologic section, which was made a impression as pleomorphic adenoma on preoperative Tru-Cut biopsy and intraoperative frozen section, So, the most accurate diagnosis of the parotid malignancy is a complete removal of tumor tissue, accompanied with permanent histologic section.

  • Twelve patients underwent surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection[TAPVC] between Sep. 1989 and May 1993. There were 9 boys and 3 girls whose ages ranged from 10 days to 17 month [median 1.2 month]. Six patients were less than 1 month of age at operation. The anomalous drainage was supracardiac in 6, cardiac in 2, infracardiac in 2, and mixed in 2. There were 3 early death, and its mortality rate was 25%. There were no operative mortality after Sep. 1991. Age at operation, presence of preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction, preoperative assisted ventilation and type of anomaly did not affect early mortality. Late pulmonary venous obstruction was developed in 4 patients between 1 month to 4 month after operation. Among these patients, 2 were died and one was reoperated and well, and the other one was not operated because of patient`s refusal. We conclude that late pulmonary venous obstruction is fatal and its early detection and correction is important for improving late survival.
