With the enthusiasm regarding robotic application in radical prostatectomy in accordance with the widespread use of serum prostate-specific antigen as a screening test, the number of surgeries performed for complete removal of the gland is increasing continuously. However, owing to the adjacent anatomical location of the prostate to the nerve and urethral sphincter complex, functional recovery, namely improvement from post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) and post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction, still remains a main problem for patients who are reluctant to undergo surgery and tend to choose alternative ways instead. Since the late 1980s, the introduction of radical prostatectomy by open surgical modalities, the depth of the anatomical understanding of the structure surrounding the prostate is getting tremendous, which leads to the development of new surgical modalities and techniques that are consequently aimed at reducing the incidences of PPI and erectile dysfunction. Briefly, recent data from robotic radical prostatectomy, particularly on PPI, are quite acceptable, but by contrast, the reported potency regain rate still remains <20%, which indicates the need for advanced surgical modification to overcome it. In this review, the authors summarized the recent findings on the anatomy and surgical techniques reported up to now.

Simple or complex defects in the lower leg, and especially in its distal third, continue to be a challenging task for reconstructive surgeons. A variety of flaps were used in the attempt to achieve excellence in form and function. After a long evolution of the reconstructive methods, including random pattern flaps, axial pattern flaps, musculocutaneous flaps and fasciocutaneous flaps, the reappraisal of the works of Manchot and Salmon by Taylor and Palmer opened the era of perforator flaps. This era began in 1989, when Koshima and Soeda, and separately Kroll and Rosenfield described the first applications of such flaps. Perforator flaps, whether free or pedicled, gained a high popularity due to their main advantages: decreasing donor-site morbidity and improving aesthetic outcome. The use as local perforator flaps in lower leg was possible due to a better understanding of the cutaneous circulation, leg vascular anatomy, angiosome and perforasome concepts, as well as innovations in flaps design. This review will describe the evolution, anatomy, flap design, and technique of the main distally pedicled propeller perforator flaps used in the reconstruction of defects in the distal third of the lower leg and foot.

The coronal approach is a versatile surgical technique. This method becomes particulary useful for exposure and internal fixation of midfacial fractures and the harvest of calvarial bone graft to manage the complex facial bone fractures. The rectrospective clinical study on the use of this technique in 10 patients was performed. The result shows that this technique provides the excellent exposure of fractures site, the ability to reduce the fragment accurately and good cosmetic results in incision area. We discussed with literatures review that anatomy, technique, indications, and potential complications of the coronal approach.

Management of posttraumatic enophthalmos can present as a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon, particularly in cases of late presentation. This article reviews the pertinent anatomy of the orbit, diagnostic modalities, indications for surgery, and surgical approaches as they relate to the treatment of posttraumatic enophthalmos. Internal orbital reconstruction has evolved to an elegant procedure incorporating various biologic or alloplastic implants, including anatomical pre-bent implants. Successful repair of late enophthalmos has been demonstrated in multiple recent studies and is likely related to the precision with which orbital anatomy can be restored.

Anatomical variations of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) have been observed to occupy multiple origins and insertion points and have supernumerary heads, sometimes varying in thickness. During routine dissection, a SCM was observed to have six distinct insertions that interface with the course of the superior nuchal line, ending at the midline, bilaterally. This variation was also seen to receive innervation from the accessory nerve as well as the great auricular nerve. To our knowledge, this variant of supernumerary insertions and nerve innervations has not yet been reported. These variants may pose as problematic during surgical approaches to the upper neck and occiput, and should thus be appreciated by the clinician. Herein we discuss the case report, possible embryological origins, and the clinical significance of the observed variant SCM.

목 적 : 경구강 치상돌기제거술은 두개척추연결부위에 대한 접근법 중 중요한 수술법이나 수술상처의 문제나 수술후 뇌막염 등의 합병증의 문제점과 해부학적으로 익숙하지 않다는 점 때문에 광범위하게 사용되지 않고 있다. 이 부위의 해부학적 구조의 이해를 위해 사체해부를 통한 미세해부학을 기술하고자 한다. 방 법 : 10구의 고정 혹은 비고정 사체두부를 이용하여 경구강 치상돌기제거술을 단계적으로 시행하였다. 각 두부는 두부 고정기를 이용하여 고정하였으며, 고속드릴과 수술현미경을 이용하여 미세수술을 시행하며 각 단계별로 사진을 촬영하였다. 결 과 : 수술단계는 6단계로 나눌 수 있으며, 연구개, 후측 인두부, 근육조직, 골조직, 치상돌기 및 인대, 십자인대 및 경막으로 나눌 수 있다. 결 론 : 이 부위의 해부학적인 지식을 충분히 숙지하면 경구강 치상돌기제거술은 합병증을 피하면서 비교적 용이하게 두개척추연결부위의 다양한 병변에서 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

A cervical radiculopathy is the most common symptom of cervical degenerative disease and its natural course is generally favorable. With a precise diagnosis using appropriate tools, the majority of patients will respond well to conservative treatment. Cervical radiculopathy with persistent radicular pain after conservative treatment and progressive or profound motor weakness may require surgery. Options for surgical management are extensive. Each technique has strengths and weaknesses, so the choice will depend on the patient's clinical profile and the surgeon's judgment.

This is a report of 6 cases of esophageal diverticulum at the mid-thoracic esophagus treated surgically at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the 10 years. Five patients were female and one was male and the age distribution was between 31 and 61 years, Various subjective symptoms were noticed preoperatively. Diagnosis was confirmed by esophagography. The type of esophageal diverticulum were pulsion type in five cases and traction type in one case. After diverticulectomy, subjective symptoms disappeared and there were no operative complications and mortality. Recurrence of symptoms was not noticed during follow-up.
