We report a case of 53-year-old woman with an injured popliteal artery due to excessive drilling with a drill bit during medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). Pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed three days after surgery and confirmed by urgent computed tomography (CT) angiography. Open vascular surgery with resection of the perivascular hematoma and end-to-end anastomosis using ipsilateral saphenous vein interposition graft was performed. CT angiography at 8 months postoperatively showed that blood flow was maintained without obstruction of the graft site and active dorsiflexion of the foot was possible. To reduce neurovascular injury during MOWHTO, it is important not to drill the far cortex at the proximal part of the osteotomy site when using a drill bit, and the metal should be positioned posteromedially as much as possible.

배경: 본원에서 자발성 기흉으로 흉강경을 이용 폐 쐐기절제술 후 퇴원한 환자가운데 재발로 수술을 다시 받은 환자에서 기흉의 재발에 관한 위험 인자에 대해 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 본원 흉부외과에서 흉강경을 이용하여 흉막 유착술 없이 폐 쐐기절제술만을 시행한 235명을 대상으로 하였다. 퇴원 후 외래 추적관찰 중에 재발이 없었던 A군(225명: 96%), 재발이 있었던 B군(10명: 4%)으로 나누어서 후향적 조사를 통하여 재발 위험인자에 대하여 알고자 하였다. 결과: 각 군의 평균나이는 재발되는 군에서 $19.6{\pm}7.17$세로 더 어렸으며(p<0.05), 각군 남녀 비는 남자가 많았으나, 통계학적 의의는 없었다 흡연력, 병변 부위 및 폐허탈 정도는 양군사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 수술적 요인에 대한 것으로 술 후 공기 누출기간이 길수록, 흉관 거치 기간이 짧을수록 재발 가능성이 더 높았으며(p<0.05), 평균 재발기간은 $10.2{\pm}8.5$개월($0.6{\sim}22$개월)이었다. 재발된 군 중 4명은 술 후 한달 동안 충분한 준비 운동 없는 과격한 운동(농구 등)을 했던 경험이었다. 술 후 재발에 영향을 주는 단일 변수는 수술 시 나이,공기 누출기간, 키/몸무게 비 및 흉관 유지 기간이었으며, 다중 변수에 의한 위험 인자는 수술 시 나이, 신장/몸무게 비, 공기 누출 및 흉관 유지 기간 순이었다 결론: 자발성 기흉에서 흉강경을 이용한 폐기포 절제술은 재발율이 개흉술에 비하여 높지 않아서 시행할 수 있지만, 재발 위험인자로 나이가 젊거나, 큰 신장/몸무게비, 지속적인 공기 누출 있거나 짧은 흉관 유지 기간이었으며, 퇴원 후 너무나 빠른 심한 운동은 폐기포절제술 후 기흉 재발의 원인이 될 수 있다.

Between September, 1987 and March, 1994, 11 patients were treated for the pulmonary aspergilloma.The mean age was 59.6 years. Hemoptysis was the most common chief compliants[100% .Postoperative pathology showed bronchiectasis and tuberculosis were most common underlying diseases.Operative procedures were wedge resection in one patient, segmentectomy in 2, lobectomy in 7. One patient treated conservative.In 3 patients, the postoperative air leakage persisted longer than after other pulmonary resectional surgery.There was no postoperative death. The surgical resection is strongly recommended when the patient develops hemoptysis.

Pulmonary hamartoma is one of the most common benign lung tumors. Well-known conventional methods of treatment for lung hamartomas include VATS enucleation or wedge resection, bronchoplasty, and others. Here we present a case of endobronchial hamartoma that was successfully treated with cryosurgery by flexible bronchoscopy.

Coarctation of the Aorta is a congenital constriction of aorta of varying degree, usually located at or near the aortic ismuth with frequent associations of other cardiac anomalies. Various modes of surgical corrections, such as resection and end-to-end anastomosis, graft interposition, angioplasty using prosthetic patch or subclavian flap have been used according to the status of coarctation and age of the patient. We have experienced two cases of surgically treated coarctation of the aorta, one of which was preductal coarctation with hypoplastic aortic arch and ventricular septal defect in a 4 year old boy, and the other case was juxtaductal type with aortic regurgitation. Subclavian flap angioplasty with additional pulmonary artery banding procedure was done in the first case and wedge resection with end-to-end anastomosis and aortic valve replacement [St. Jude valve, 23mm] 20 days later of first operation in the other case. The first case developed massive tarry stool on 3rd POD, probably due to mesenteric arteritis with resultant bowl ecrosis, and expired the next day. Recovery was uneventful with the second case.

폐실질에 발생하는 자궁내막증은 월경시마다 반복되는 특징적인 증상을 갖는 드문 질환이다. 저자는 유산 및 출산 경험이 없는 3개월의 월경성 각혈의 증상을 가진 19세의 여자 환자를 흉부 전산화 단층촬영으로 확진 하였으며 우측 병변은 흉강경을 이용한 쐐기 절제술, 연이어 좌측 병변은 개흉술을 통한 상분엽절제술을 시행하였다. 수술 전에 시행하였던 투시경(fluoroscopy) 도음하의 hooking이 일측폐 마취에서의 병변의 확인에 도움을 주었다.

Between July 1988 and August 1991, 8 cases of pulmonary resection for pulmonary asp-ergilloma had been performed in the department of thoracic surgery, Korea Cancer Center Hospital. The patients were consisted of 4 males and 4 females and were evenly distributed from fourth decade to sixth decade. Hemoptysis was the most common chief compla int. In chest roentgenogram, patch infiltration was noted in 4 cases[50%] and intracavi-tary fungus ball was noted in only 2 cases[25%]. A. fumigatus was identified pre-operatively in 2 cases by bronchoscopic washing and in 1 case by culture of pleural effusion, Eight pulmonary resections were done by 5 lobectomies, 1 segmentectomy, 1 wedge resection and 1 pneumonectomy, Postoperative pathologic findings showed that 6 cases [75%] were combined with bronchiectasis, 1 case with tuberculosis and 1 case with pneumonia. We experinced 1 case of postoperative pulmonary edema but there was no mortality case.

A 67-year-old woman who had undergone anterior resection for a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the rectum and wedge resection for liver metastasis presented with hematogenous lung metastasis. Metastatic pulmonary nodules in both lung fields were shown on plain chest radiograph and CT. Ga-67 SPECT images revealed accumulation of radioactivity corresponding to the pulmonary nodules. The authors present an unusual case of accumulation of Ga-67 in metastatic pulmonary nodules in a patient with a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the rectum.

A 31-year-old female was referred from other hospital due to migrating chest pain, mild cough, and blood-tinged sputum for three days before admission. Laboratory tests were unremarkable. Chest computed tomography revealed an elliptical necrotic mass at the left anterior mediastinum, measuring $7{\times}3{\times}4cm$. With the impression of mediastinal abscess or loculated empyema, thoracoscopic resection was performed. There was severe pleural adhesion around the mass. The mass could be resected by the wedge resection of the adhesed upper lobe tissue of left lung around the mass. Final pathologic diagnosis was ectopic pancreas.
