Within the group of congenital cardiac anomalies manifesting atrioventricular discordance, there exists a subset of hearts characterized by the additional presence of double outlet of the morphological right ventricle. Most of these hearts have associated pulmonary stenosis and abnormal direction of the cardiac apex, and all have a ventricular septal defect. Recently, a 10-year old boy underwent successful surgical correction of double outlet right ventricle with atrioventricular discordance. Diagnostic confirmation was made by 2-D echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and cineangiocardiography. The operation consisted of patch closure of ventricular septal defect so as to leave both great arteries draining the systemic[morphologically right] ventricle, and insertion of an extracardiac valved conduit between the morphological left ventricle and the distal end of the proximally oversewn pulmonary artery. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Between July, 1990 and July, 1992, 6 male patients of truncus arteriosus, whose age ranged from 2 months to 18 months, underwent total surgical correction without a extracardiac conduit. Their anatomic types were type I in 3, type II in 2 and III, in one by the Collett-Edwards classification. Surgical techniques were similar to the first description by Lecompte except for the fact that distal pulmonary arterial stumps were approximated to ventriculotomy site without Lecompte maneuver in all cases. Also in all cases, mon-ocusps were placed using glutaraldehyde fixed autologous pericardial patch directly in right ventricular outflow tract. Three patients died postoperatively and the causes of death were myocardial failure, pulmonary hypertensive crisis and pulmonary complication due to progressive pulmonary vascualr obstructive disease respectively. The three survivors have been followed up for 6~10 months with good functional results.

Surgical correction of patent ductus arteriosus is,under most circumstances,highly successful and carries a low mortality. But infected PDA is yet potentially dangerous due to its frequent recurrence and resistant organisms to antibiotics. And,in surgical correction,surgeon may face the possibility of tearing of ductus arteriosus arterial end due to friability and adhesion of its surrounding tissue.This report demonstrats another problem in treatment of infected patent ductus arteriosus.This thirteen years old female patient received susceptible combined antibiotics intravenously from the day of admission and remitted from 4th.week of therapy.This remission state continued for 12days without relapse.But the pulmonary artery ruptured in this remission period.In autopsy,bacteria was not found in ductal vegetation.Also,there was no pulmonary artery aneurysm,Our experience show that in infected PDA,pulmonary artery can rupture spontaneously during remission period without aneurysmal formation.

Within the group of congenital cardiac anomalies manifesting dextrocardia and double-outlet right ventricle, ventricular non-inversion [S.D.L] is extremely rare. Recently, a 5 year-old boy underwent a successful surgical correction of dextrocardia associated with double-outlet right ventricle, ventricular non-inversion [S.D], ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and patent foramen ovale. The operation consisted of construction of an internal baffle connecting the left ventricle to the aorta through the large ventricular septal defect [subaortic]. The pulmonary stenosis was managed by infundibulectomy and patch enlargement of the right ventricular wall. The patient`s postoperative recovery has been uneventful, and 2 months after the operation, he is doing well.

A 22-year-old male patient had developed a submasseteric abscess secondary to a mandibular osteomyelitis at the age of 7 years old. The initial presentation at that time seems to be acute suppurative parotitis. The computed tomographic scans taken before surgery demonstrated diffuse deformity, sclerotic change and osteolytic lesion in the mandible. There was no marrow space on both sides of mandibular ramus and thin-walled cortical bone was seen. So, from the results of the computed tomography, the surgery was performed intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) instead of performing the more commonly used bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). In this report, we present a case of surgical correction of mandibular prognathism with fibrous-osseous lesion of mandible with using IVRO.

A 18-year-old female underwent surgical correction of tricuspid atresia and complete transposition of great arteries combined with atrial 8 ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. After the transection of main pulmonary artery just above the pulmonic valve, proximal portion of main pulmonary artery was closed with running suture and distal portion of main pulmonary artery anastomosed with right atrial appendage without valve insertion. Atrial septal defect was closed with running suture. Postoperative course was uneventful and she discharged on 18th postoperative day. Her condition is in very good until present. Modified Fontan`s operation without valve placement [in the condition of low pulmonary vascular resistance and good left ventricular function] may has a good result.

More than 120 surgical methods for the correction of hallux valgus deformities have been reported. For the correction of moderate to severe hallux valgus deformities with aesthetic demands, minimally invasive surgery at the proximal area can be considered. This paper reports a case of moderate hallux valgus deformity treated by a minimally invasive proximal transverse metatarsal osteotomy followed by intramedullary plate fixation.

Submentovertex(SMV) projection shows the base of skull, positions of mandibular condyle and zygomatic arches. We would like to investigate how to use SMV and evaluate its availability for the construction of the plan for orthognathic surgery of mandible prognathism and asymmetry. Preoperative Surgical Treatment Objective(STO) using SMV was performed to 12 patients, who visited to Seoul National University Bundang Hospital with chief complaints like mandible prognathism or asymmetry from Dec 2007 to Feb 2009. Surgical splint was made of stone model repositioned according to STO using SMV. We estimate the change in skeletal midline and the stability of occlusion through superposition between preoperative and postoperative SMV. It was effective on the amount of mandible movement and the correction of mandibular asymmetry, while the facial asymmetry involved with maxilla was excluded. It was concluded that STO using SMV is available and predictable method for not only the setback of prognathic mandible but also the correction of mandible asymmetry accurately.

This article discusses the diagnosis, anatomic consideration, and surgical management of masseter muscle hypertrophy. Surgical correction is advised for patients who have esthetic complaints. Esthetic improvement can be achieved by surgery and not by conservative treatment. Recently, the intraoral method, which leaves no scar on the face and minimizes the possibility of injury to the marginal branch of the facial nerve, has been supported by many surgeons. Patients who complained of marked swelling of unilateral or bilateral mandibular angle area and showed abnormal bony growth at the mandibular angle area and enlarged masseter muscle received mandibular angle shaving and excision of the inner layer of masseter muscle with intraoral approach. After operation, physiotherapy was done with EAST(eletrical acupuncture stimulation therapy) for encouraging the mouth opening and reducing the swelling. They showed early maximum mouth opening and reduction of swelling.

From January 1978 to December 1992, 59 patients of double chambered right ventricle were repaired. Surgical correction consisted of closure of the ventricular septal defect and resection of anomalous muscle bundles through right ventriculotomy [Group I ; 34 patients] or right atriotomy [Group II ; 25 patients]. Between these two groups, there was no difference in the operation time and the postoperative results. All patients survived. In group I, hemodynamically significant residual ventricular septal defect was found in three and reoperations were necessary. In one patient, subacute bacterial endocarditis developed postoperatively. In group II, complete atrioventricular block developed in one and mediastinitis in two. Follow-up period was from 2 to 75 months [mean 17.1 months]. There was no late death. All patients have remained in sinus rhythm except one patient. Careful evaluation of echocardiographic and catheterization data preoperatively and careful examination of the anatomy intraoperatively are necessary so that double chambered right ventricle should not be overlooked, because most ventricular septal defects are now closed through the right atrium. Repair of double chambered right ventricle is also easily performed through the atrial approach. Transatrial repair should be considered as an alternative to the transventricular approach in patients with this congenital heart defect. Successful surgical correction of double chambered right ventricle is expected with excellent long term results.
