Objective : Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare anatomical variant of the origin of the right subclavian artery. ARSA is defined as the right subclavian artery originating as the final branch of the aortic arch. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and the anatomy of ARSA evaluated with computed tomography (CT) angiography. Methods : CT angiography was performed in 3460 patients between March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2015 and the results were analyzed. The origin of the ARSA, course of the vessel, possible inadvertent ARSA puncture site during subclavian vein catheterization, Kommerell diverticula, and associated vascular anomalies were evaluated. We used the literature to review the clinical importance of ARSA. Results : Seventeen in 3460 patients had ARSA. All ARSAs in 17 patients originated from the posterior aspect of the aortic arch and traveled along a retroesophageal course to the right thoracic outlet. All 17 ARSAs were located in the anterior portion from first to fourth thoracic vertebral bodies and were located near the right subclavian vein at the medial third of the clavicle. Only one of 17 patients presented with dysphagia. Conclusion : It is important to be aware ARSA before surgical approaches to upper thoracic vertebrae in order to avoid complications and effect proper treatment. In patients with a known ARSA, a right transradial approach for aortography or cerebral angiography should be changed to a left radial artery or transfemoral approach.

[Purpose] Although physical activity is required to prevent or ameliorate osteoporosis, medicine prescription should precede it, since it may be limited in severe osteoporosis patients. Furthermore, osteoporosis has a great effect on physical activity disorders that accompany fractures and pain, and therefore, research on treatment or prevention to decrease the number of patients is required. The purpose of this study was to discover candidate substances from natural products with an effective pharmacological action and to prepare basic data to help patients. [Methods] To prepare the osteoporosis model, ovariectomy (OVX) was performed using surgical methods. The prepared prescription [Shinkiwhan (SKH), a Korean medicine] was administered orally at a dose of 210 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks. After completion of the animal experiment, the bone mineral density (BMD) was analyzed using double-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The analysis of the effect of drugs on bones was performed using histological analysis and immunostaining. [Results] SKH increased the BMD in the OVX rats. Furthermore, SKH significantly increased the expression of osteoprotegerin and downregulated receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and phosphorylation of c-jun N-terminal kinases in the bones of the OVX model. [Conclusion] Our findings suggest a protective effect of SKH against BMD loss in the OVX model.

배경: 본태성 수부다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절 교통가지절제술은 해당 교감신경 분포부위만 차단하는 수술이므로 기존의 교감신경수술에 비해 선택적(selective)이고 생리적(physiologic)인 수술방법으로 받아들여지고 있으나 수술결과에 있어서 환자에 따라 혹은 동일한 환자에서도 양쪽 사이에 발한 감소의 차이가 있고 재발률이 높다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 저자들은 수술결과의 차이와 술 후 재발에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요소로 상부 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 해부학적 변이를 조사하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 본태성 수부다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절 교통가지절제술의 임상적 적용에 있어서 개인간 혹은 동일인의 양쪽간 수술결과의 차이를 줄임과 동시에 수술 후 재발률을 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 새로운 수술방법을 개발하는 데 있다. 대상 및 방법: 연세대학교 해부학교실에서 흉부교감신경계의 손상이나 훼손이 없는 구의 한국인 사체 59구(남자 26구, 여자 16구)를 대상으로 총 118쪽의 흉부교감신경계를 해부하여 손에 분포하는 주된 교감신경인 제2, 3, 4 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 주행을 조사하였다. 59구의 사체 모두 양쪽에서 흉부교감신경줄기의 해부학적 형태를 비교하였고 본태성수부다한증과 관련된 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 해부학적 변이를 조사하였다. 결과: 교통가지의 해부학적 변이는 제2흉부교감신경절에서 가장 심했으며 아래로 내려갈수록 변이가 점점 줄어드는 양상을 보이고 있었다. 59구의 사체에서 양쪽 흉부교감신경줄기를 비교한 결과 양쪽의 해부학적 형태가 유사한 경우는 전체의 15.3% (9/59)에 불과하였고 나머지 84.7% (50/59)에서 양쪽의 해부학적 구조가 다르게 나타났다. 총 118쪽의 흉부교감신경줄기를 해부한 결과 본태성 수부다한증과 관련이 있는 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 해부학적 변이로 쿤츠씨 신경이 55.9% (66/118)에서 관찰되었고 제2흉부교감신경절에서 제3늑간신경으로 연결되는 교통가지 및 제3흉부교감신경절로부터 제4늑간신경에 연결되는 하행교통가지가 각각 49.2% (58/118)와 28.0% (33/118)로 나타났으며 제3흉부효감신경절에서 제2늑간신경으로, 제4흉부교감신경절에서 제3늑간신경으로 각각 연결되는 상행교통가지도 6.8% (8/118), 3.4% (4/118)에서 관찰되었다. 결론. 본 연구에서 상부 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 다양한 해부학적 변이로 인해 동일한 방법으로 수술하더라도 개인에 따라 심지어는 동일인의 양쪽에서도 수술결과의 차이가 나타날 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 흉부교감신경줄기를 거치지 않는 쿤츠씨 신경 및 하행 혹은 상행 교통가지를 차단하지 못할 경우 재발이 생길 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 본태성 수부다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절 교통가지절제술 시 수술결과의 차이를 줄이고 재발을 감소시키기 위해서는 제3흉부교감신경절에서 제3늑간신경으로 연결되는 교통가지들을 절제함과 동시에 제2늑골 위에서 쿤츠씨 신경을 절단하고 제3, 4늑골 위에서 제2, 3, 4흉부교감신경절로부터 제3, 4늑간신경으로 각각 연결되는 상행 및 하행 교통가지들을 모두 절단해주는 것이 도움이 될 것이라 생각한다.

The course of the sural nerve in the calf has been well documented, but there is a general lack of information concerning the distal course of the nerve. The purpose of this study was to describe the distal course of the sural nerve and its surgical implications. Seven fresh amputated specimens were dissected to show the anatomy of the sural nerve in the foot and ankle. At the level of about 10cm proximal to the plantar surface, the sural nerve coursed anteriorly and inferiorly away from the Achilles tendon. 2 to 4 lateral calcaneal branches arose. The first branch of the lateral calcaneal branches coursed along the lateral border of the Achilles tendon, and it arose at 8cm proximal to the plantar surface in 2 specimens, 12cm proximal to the plantar surface in 4 specimens, and at 12cm proximal to the plantar surface in one specimen. The main nerve trunk continued distally plantar to the peroneal tendons and divided into two terminal branches and crossed peroneus longus tendon at the level of the inferior border of the calcaneo-cuboid joint, at about 3cm(range, $2.5\sim3.0$)cm from the plantar surface. In conclusion, a longitudinal incision lateral to the Achilles tendon would cross the path of the sural nerve at about 10cm proximal to the plantar surface. When the first branch of them arise more than 10cm above the plantar surface, a logitudinal incision lateral to the Achilles tendon may be made without damage. The other lateral calcaneal branches will be cut when we make transverse incision paralled to the plantar surface. The terminal branch also may be in danger by the same transverse incision.

Object : To determine whether to use surgical or medical therapy in treatment of infectious intracranial aneurysms, we reviewed two recent cases of infectious intracranial aneurysms and others known previous reports of aforementioned cases. Hence, we attempted to compare the validity and effectiveness of surgical and medical treatment. Method : Recently, we treated two cases of ruptured infectious intracranial aneurysms. In former case, the aneurysm was located distal to the middle cerebral artery in a patient with mild mitral regurgitation of the heart. In latter case, the aneurysm was multiple with varying hemorrhage. The hemorrhage was located bilaterally and a moderate mitral regurgitation and infective endocarditis were accompanied in this patient. Result : Due to the large size of the intracranial hematoma, stable medical condition, and easy resectability, we treated the former patient surgically. And, because of successive hemorrhage by multiple aneurysmal rupture, and the risk of heart failure, we treated the latter patient medically with serial follow-up angiography. Both patients are at present in good health. Conclusion : Because of the variability in associated factors, such as the patient's health, the number of lesions, location, anatomy of the aneurysms and the causative organism, each patient's care must be individualized and tailored to the patient's particular clinical situation.

Background Dimples on the cheeks can make the smile look more cheerful and attractive. Therefore, some people who do not have dimples may choose to undergo dimple creation surgery. Although dimple surgery is quite common, those desiring this procedure often lack information about it. Therefore, we conducted the present study to share our surgical tips and clinical experiences regarding safe dimple creation surgery. Methods This study included 2,048 patients who underwent dimple creation surgery at our plastic surgery clinic between April 2010 and June 2014. These patients were selected from those who displayed no scarring from injury or tumor removal in the central face during the presurgical evaluation. Medical records were used to identify the age and sex of each patient, the location of dimple creation, any postoperative complications, reoperation, and the reason for reoperation. Results Of the 2,048 patients, 159 (7.7%) underwent reoperation. The reason for reoperation was undercorrection in 78 cases (49.0%), disappearance of the dimple in 62 cases (38.9%), and overcorrection in nine cases (5.6%). Five patients (3.1%) had their stitches removed to eliminate the created dimple because they changed their minds, and five patients (3.1%) had their stitches removed because of infection. No patients reported complications after reoperation, and no other complications, such as hyperpigmentation or foreign body reaction, were observed. Conclusions Safe surgery with minimal complications and satisfying cosmetic results can be achieved via accurate knowledge of the relevant anatomy and its relationship with dimples, as well as appropriate surgical methodology.

The distinction between isolated and combined injuries is crucial both for treatment and prognosis. For most combined injuries, surgical treatment continues to be favored over nonoperative treatment. It is generally agreed that isolatel PCL injuries do well without surgery. There has been an interest by many authors to fix the graft directly to the posterior aspect of the tibia(tibial inlay). With this procedure, tibial graft fixation will be more direct and theoretically reduce the bending effects of the graft with a fixation site far away from the tibial insertion. Modified tibial inlay technique, which is the posterior approach does not require the patient to be in the prone or lateral decubitus position during the operation. Use of a double-bundle reconstructive technique is attractive and has been performed by some surgeons. At this time, this procedure is still being investigated and should not be routinely used in the clinical setting until studies have indicated an advantage over current single-bundle techniques. However theologically, double-bundle reconstructive technique is more useful in severe posterior unstable knee. Recent advances have increased our knowledge of the anatomy and mechanical characteristics of the PCL. Basic science research has further increased our awareness of the interaction of the posterolateral structures with the PCL. To achieve restoration of normal posterior laxity, it is critical to address the posterior as well as the postero-lateral structures. Surgical treatment is often complex and requires a wide range of surgical techniques and skills to treat associated injuries. When the PCL is reconstructed, most surgeons choose to reconstruct the anterolateral component using a graft of sufficient size and strength. The initial postoperative rehabilitation should be addressed cautiously in an effort to avoid excessive forces on delicate repairs and reconstructions in these complex injuries. Further research is necessary to evaluate new surgical approaches such as double-bundle reconstructions and tibial inlay techniques as well as improved techniques for capsular and collateral ligament injuries.

Purpose: To evaluate the utility of implanted surgical clips for detecting interfractional errors in the treatment of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer with postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). Methods and Materials: Twenty patients had been treated with PORT for locally advanced hepatobiliary or pancreatic cancer, from November 2014 to April 2016. Patients underwent computed tomography simulation and were treated in expiratory breathing phase. During treatment, orthogonal kilovoltage (kV) imaging was taken twice a week, and isocenter shifts were made to match bony anatomy. The difference in position of clips between kV images and digitally reconstructed radiographs was determined. Clips were consist of 3 proximal clips (clip_p, ${\leq}2cm$) and 3 distal clips (clip_d, >2 cm), which were classified according to distance from treatment center. The interfractional displacements of clips were measured in the superior-inferior (SI), anterior-posterior (AP), and right-left (RL) directions. Results: The translocation of clip was well correlated with diaphragm movement in 90.4% (190/210) of all images. The clip position errors greater than 5 mm were observed in 26.0% in SI, 1.8% in AP, and 5.4% in RL directions, respectively. Moreover, the clip position errors greater than 10 mm were observed in 1.9% in SI, 0.2% in AP, and 0.2% in RL directions, despite respiratory control. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of surgical clip displacement reflect respiratory motion, setup errors and postoperative change of intraabdominal organ position. Furthermore, position of clips is distinguished easily in verification images. The identification of the surgical clip position may lead to a significant improvement in the accuracy of upper abdominal radiation therapy.

Peripheral nerve injuries in the oral and maxillofacial regions require nerve repairs for the recovery of sensory and/or motor functions. Primary indications for the peripheral nerve grafts are injuries or continuity defects due to trauma, pathologic conditions, ablation surgery, or other diseases, that cannot regain normal functions without surgical interventions, including microneurosurgery. For the autogenous nerve graft, sural nerve and greater auricular nerve are the most common donor nerves in the oral and maxillofacial regions. The sural nerve has been widely used for this purpose, due to the ease of harvest, available nerve graft up to 30 to 40 cm in length, high fascicular density, a width of 1.5 to 3.0 mm, which is similar to that of the trigeminal nerve, and minimal branching and donor sity morbidity. Many different surgical techniques have been designed for the sural nerve harvesting, such as a single longitudinal incision, multiple stair-step incisions, use of nerve extractor or tendon stripper, and endoscopic approach. For a better understanding of the sural nerve graft and in avoiding of uneventful complications during these procedures as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the related surgical anatomies with their harvesting tips are summarized in this review article.
