Complete and optimal visualization of the mitral apparatus is a prerequisite for accurate repair or replacement of the mitral valve. A vertical left atriotomy just posterior to the interatrial groove is the most commonly used approach. However,exposure can be difficult under certain circumstances,such as small left atrium or reoperation. Other approaches have been advocated to deal with this difficult situations. We used an extended transseptal approach in 10 patients and good clinical results and excellent educational effects were obtained. The extended transseptal approach combines two semicircular atrial incisions circumscribing the tricuspid and mitral annuli anteriorly and superiorly,allowing exposure of the mitral valve by deflecting the ventricular side using stay sutures. The right atrium is opened anteriorly along the atrioventricular sulcus. The atrial septum is incised vertically through the fossa ovalis. Right atrial and septal incisions are joined at the superior end of the interatrial septum and extended across the dome of the left atrium to the left atrial appendage. The mitral valve was replaced in all 10 patients. Four of 10 patients had other simultaneous valve procedure: one had aortic valve replacement: 2 underwent tricuspid annuloplasty: 1 had aortic valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. There was no hospital death and complication. Among the 5 patients who had atrial fibrillation preoperatively,4 had atrial fibrillation postoperatively,1 converted to sinus rhythm. The five patients who were in normal sinus rhythm preoperatively remained in sinus rhythm after replacement. A review of our results with this approach confirms the efficacy and safty of this method. So we recommanded this approach for routine mitral valve procedure,especially difficult situations,such as a small left atrium or the redo operation.

Seventeen patients of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum were underwent operation during 4.8years period from Jan. 1983 to Aug. 1988 at Seoul National university Hospital. The patients were composed of 8 males and 9 females, aging 1day to 2.5 years [mean 88 days]. We classified pulmonary atresia according to right ventricular morphology; those with tripartite ventricles in 12, those with no trabecular portion to the cavity in 0, and those with inlet portion only in 5. The tripartite approach to right ventricular morphology is helpful in selecting the type of initial palliative procedures. Palliative procedures were as follows; pulmonary valvotomy in 5 with 3 early survivors, mod B-T shunt in 4 with 3 early survivors, and palliative right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in 4 with 1 early survivor. Effective preliminary palliation of pulmonary atresia are pulmonary valvotomy or palliative right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in those with tripartite right ventricle, and modified Blalock-Taussig shunt in those with no infundibular portion. The approach to definitive repair is based primarily on the actual size of the tricuspid annulus and the right ventricular cavity. Definitive repair was as follows: definitive right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in 4 with all survivors and mod. Fontan operation in 2 with one survivors. Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction can be done as complete repair for patients who had adequate tricuspid annulus and right ventricular cavitary size and mod. Fontan operation for patients who severely hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus or small right ventricular cavity.

본 연구에서는 단계식어도 내의 격벽 형상, 잠공설치, 측벽 홈설치 등에 따른 수리현상을 수리시험을 통해 규명하고 어족의 소상에 적합한 적정 구조물 형상을 제시함으로써 어도 구조물 설계에 지침이 되도록 하였다. 분석 결과 어족의 소상은 표면류 상태가 바람직하며, 잠공설치는 어족 소상을 방해하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 측벽에 설치된 홈을 돌출부로 대치함으로써 격벽 월류 유속을 줄이고 소상을 용이하도록 했으며, 퇴적된 토사를 제거하기 위해 고정식 격벽보다는 상·하 2단식 수직이동 격벽을 설치하며, 새들에 의한 어족의 피해를 고려하여 그물망을 설치하고, 어도 바닥의 색깔을 통과 어족의 색깔과 같이 함으로써 보호색 기능을 갖추는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판명되었다.

A symmetric approach, using external rhinoplasty, is presented to aid the plastic surgeon in obtaining improved aesthetic and functional results in patients with postoperative nasal deformities. The external approach yields a full visualization of the underlying nasal framework and intraoperative evaluation of the deformities to be corrected subsequently. The nasal septal cartilage is unequivocally one of the best graft sources for reconstruction of the dorsum, columella or tip. It has fairly even surface and pliability in carving and shaping the graft. The graft can be obtained during the surgery with less morbidity and prepared easily for need of the shape. The only real disadvantage is the limited amount of cartilage that can be obtained from the septum. The dorsal and caudal rims, one or more cm in width, of the nasal septum should not be disturbed to maintain the nasal frame during harvesting the septal graft. Authors invented novel instruments, J & D knife and Flat (Spatula) suction tip, and have employed the devices for harvesting the septal cartilage. We were unable to gain enough amount of the cartilage by using a swivel knife or cartilage scissors. The septal cartilage can be resected as much as needed with newly invented instruments which facilitate a separation(method) technique.

Purpose: The orbital fat buldging may cause irregular contour of lower eyelid, which is not youthful appearance. The conventional method of fat excision may cause the eyeball to move backward and downward, making enopthalmia is inevitable. The transcutaneous approach to reach the orbital septum can increase the risks of scleral show resulting from scarification at the level of the septum orbicularis junction and damaging the vertical motor branches of the preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle of the lower eyelid. Method: From July 2007 to March 2008, total of 21 patients underwent transconjunctival capsulopapebral fascia fixation procedure. In 8 patients, the herniated fat pad of the lower eyelid was relocated back into the orbit without external skin excision using capsulopalpebral fascia fixation. But in 13 patients, excision of redundant skin of the lower eyelid was performed using pinching technique, not involving orbicularis oculi muslce. In 5 patients, lateral canthotomy was done bilaterally for good visual field. In 6 patients, lateral canthopexy was also combined to correct loosening of lower eyelid. Results: Most of the patients were satisfied after at least 5 months of follow up. No patient showed scleral show. But 2 patients complained of undercorrection slightly, without secondary operation in 1 patient and re - capsulopalpebral fascia fixtation through transconjunctival approach in another patient. Conclusion: Orbital fat repositioning using transconjunctival capsulopalpebral fascia fixation is a good procedure to show youthful appearance without increasing the risk of scleral show and also showed fast recovery compared to the conventional transcutaneous approach.

Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is an opening in the ventricular septum that allows blood to flow between the ventricles. Most ventricular septal defects are located in the upper ventricular septum and can be identified by auscultation. In this report, 2 dogs with heart murmur were diagnosed as VSD using radiography and echocardiography. In radiographs, bulging sign of the main pulmonary artery or the enlargement of the left ventricle was observed. The color Doppler examination showed the left-to-right shunting of blood via interventricular septal defect.

Purpose : To investigate and compare the prevalence, size, and location of maxillary sinus septa on panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods : Two hundred patients who had taken both panoramic and CBCT images were included. The location of maxillary sinus septa on the panoramic radiographs were recorded and confirmed on the CBCT images. Also the size of septa was measured on the reformatted CBCT images. Results : The prevalence of the patients who had maxillary sinus septa was 51.0% and they showed 179 septa totally. Among them 51.0% of the patients had one septum, 32.4% two septa, 13.7% three, and 2.9% four. The measured heights of the septa were $4.37{\pm}2.87\;mm$, $3.51{\pm}2.47\;mm$, and $3.04{\pm}2.37\;mm$ in the medial, middle, and lateral areas, respectively. It was revealed that 1.0% was located at canine region, 18.0% at first premolar, 25.0% at second premolar, 22.7% at first molar, 19.8% at second molar, and 14.0% at third molar region. Among 213 septa depicted by the panoramic radiographs, only 69.0% were confirmed at the CBCT images. Conclusion : Since various heights and courses of the septa can develop in all parts of the maxillary sinus, adequate assessment of the inner aspect of the maxillary sinus is essential to avoid complications during sinus augmentation procedures. CBCT scanning is the preferred radiographic method for detecting the presence of sinus septa.
