The most common surgical procedure used to manage tracheoesophageal fistula is the primary anastomosis of the esophagus. However, in the case of failed anastomosis, replacing the esophagus with another organ is necessary. We performed two procedures of colon interposition after failure of tracheoesophageal fistula repair. In those cases, stomach replacement was not possible because of a failed Ivor Lewis operation in one case and duodenal atresia in the other.

Previously, laryngectomized patients can achieve speech with tracheoesophageal device. Tracheoesophageal speech is currently one of the best methods of postlaryngectomy voice rehabilitation. But, tracheoesophageal speakers have some troublesome with digital occlusion of tracheostoma in every speaking time. Therefore, the tracheostoma valve has been introduced since 1982, and this valve could eliminate the need of tracheostoma digital occlusion. Currently, couple of tracheostoma valves has been introduced and developed. In this article, we introduced the 3 representative tracheostoma valves. Also, we discussed their use and characteristics. Traditionally the tracheostoma valve is used in total laryngectomized patients. We introduced one case using a tracheostoma valve after near total laryngectomy. Advantage and disadvantage of Blom-Singer valve and BIVONA II valve during using in this patients are discussed.

정부 기관 및 식도 관통 손상은 높은 이환율과 사망률을 동반할 수 있으므로 적절한 진단 및 치료방법을 선택하는 것이 중요하다. 기관 및 식도의 복합손상을 가진 한 환자에서 체외 순환을 이용해 봉합수술을 시행하였고 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 경부의 깊은 손상으로 인한 출혈과 감염을 미리 조치할 수 있다면 기관과 식도의 관통산 때 체외순환을 이용하여 수술하는 srjt이 안전한 치료방법이 될 수 있다고 생각된다.

Selected characteristics were compared in the speech of three tracheoesophageal, five tracheopharyngeal and ten normal laryngeal adult speakers. Tracheoesophageal speakers use Blom-Singer voice prosthesis after total laryngectomy and tracheopharyngeal speakers use tracheopharyngeal myomucosal shunt after near-total laryngectomy. Intelligibility judgement was based on standard Korean monosyllabic and bisyllabic word lists of 50 items. Aerodynamic study was composed of maximum phonation time, phonaton quotient. phonation pressure and mean air flow rate. Results indicate that intelligibility of tracheopharygeal speech is more similar to normal laryngeal speech than tracheoesophageal speech using Blom-Singer voice prosthesis.

Esophagel atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula may occur as separate entities but usually occur in combination. First described by Durston in 1670, esophageal atresia was not successfully treated until 1939 when Ladd in Boston and Leven in St. Paul obtained the first survivors utilizing the methods of gastrostomy, esophagostomy and extrapleural ligation of the tracheoesophageal fistula as multiple operations which required months of hospitalization. Two years later Cameron Haight performed the first successful primary repair and afterward about 2000 cases of esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula reported in the world. In Korea, there appeared about 27 cases in the literature and 8 successful repaired cases noted in these year. Anther report two cases of esophageal atresia, of which one case was successfully treated with Haight`s method. Case 1.: Normal full term delivered boy with chief complaints of respiratory difficulty and persistent drooling with chocking, 3. lkg, was admitted with emergency 5 hours after delivery. Physical findings revealed no specific abnormal signs except distended abdomen and grunting respiration. Esophagograrn and bronchogram revealed proximal esophageal atresia and distal tracheoesophageal fistula proximal to the carina. Parent refused operative therapy and patient died 24 hours after discharge. Case 2. :3. lkg. normal full term delivered girl was admitted 4 days after delivery with chief complaints of regurgitation after feeding, chocking, cyanotic spell and fever since the day after delivery. Physical examination revealed persistent drooling, grunting respiration, and fever with moderate dehydration. Tracheoesophageal suction and fluid therapy with antibiotics improved her condition and subsided ]pneumonic condition. Esophagogram revealed markedly dilated proximal esophagus as blind loop and stomach distended with gas, and repairing operation as Haight`s method was performed on the 7th day after delivery. Patient tolerated all the operative procedure well and recovered uneventfully. Esophagogram on the 7th postoperative day showed passage of the lipiodol through the anastomotic side with moderate stricture,and feeding permitted. Patient tolerated all the feeding amount well and discharged on the 11th postoperative day. Followup revealed intermittent regurgitation after feeding and corrected with bougination.

Patients with tracheoesophageal fistula show signs of aspiration, possibly leading to pneumonia, which could be fatal to bed-ridden patients. Tracheoesophageal fistula occurs as a complication of intubation, tracheostomy tube insertion and nasogastric tube insertion. Possible etiology is pressure and ischemic necrosis given by tracheostomy tube and nasogastric tube to trachea and esophagus; or in some cases, larynx and hypopharynx. Meanwhile, for repair of tracheoesophageal fistula, transcervical approach can be considered but takes relatively long operation time and is not appropriate for patients with underlying diseases. We report a case of tracheoesophageal fistula complicated several years after tracheostomy tube and nasogastric tube insertion who came to medical attention with signs of aspiration. Authors successfully performed repair of the fistula under laryngeal microsurgery approach without skin incision and dissection, and thereby report the experience with review of literature.

기관식도루를 동반한 식도폐 쾌는 식도의 선천성 기 형중 흔한 형태로서 분만직후 이학적 검사상 간과 되는 것이 보통이다. 기관식도루를 동반한 식도폐쇄는 1696년에 Thomas Gibson이 처음 발표하였다. 본 원에서 4례의 선천성 하부기 관식도루를 동반한 식도폐쇄에서 우측 제 4늑간을 통하여 후흥막 접근법으 로 일차적 교정 술을 시 행하였다. 모든 환자에서 Haight 단단문합술을 시 행하였다. 수술후 2례의 환자에 서 문합부위의 심한 첩착소견을 보였고 1례의 환자에서 경한 협착소견을 보였다. 문합부위의 심한 협 착 이 있는i례의 환자에서 풍선식 식도확장술을시행하였다.

H type의 기관식도루 특히 성인에서 발견된 경우는 아주 드물다. 최근 영남대학교 의과대학 흉부외과학교실에서는 식도폐쇄를 동반하지 않은 선천성 기관식도루 1예를 수술치험하여 양호한 성적을 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

개복술 중 우연히 발견된 성인에서의 기관식도루 1레에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 41세 남자가 교통사고로 응급실로 내원하였다. 혈복강이 의심되어 시험개복 결과, 양압환기시 마다 위장이 팽창되는 것이 관찰되었다. 수술장에서 식도조영술을 시행하여 기관식도루를 진단하였으나 환자의 병력과 단순흉부촬영상 보이는 우상폐야의 오래된 파괴성 병변으로 외상성 기관식도루의 가능성을 배제할 수 있었다. 환자는 24일 후 우측 개흉술을 통하여 기관식도루 절단술을 받고 별다른 문제없이 회복하였다.

기관삽관 및 인공호흡으로 발생하는 후천성 기관식도루는 드물고, 치료하기 힘든 질환이다. 57세 여자 환자로 교통사고후 장기간의 기관상관 및 기관절개 관 상관을 하고있던 환자로, 지속적인 흉인 있어 시행한 식도조영술과 기관지 내시경 검사에서 성문하 협착이 동반된 기관식도루로 진단되 었 다. 수술은 기관식도루 절제 후 4-0 vicryl로 두층으로 식도를 봉합하였으며, 4-0 PDS로 기관을 봉합였 고, 기관과 식도사이 에 흉골설골근(sternohyoid muscle)을 거치 시켜 재발을 방지하였다. T-자관을 기존 의 기 관절개술 부위 에 거치 하여 좁아진 부위가 내경을 유지할 수 있도록 할 뿐아니라 기 관내 분비물 흡 인제거를 용이하게 하였다. 환자는 술후 14일째 T-자관 제거하였으며 이후 좋은 경과를 보이고 있다.
