Sixty-one bronchiectatic patients were reviewed who were treated by surgical intervention in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Chonnam University Hospital during the recent 14 years from January of 1965 to August of 1978. 1. Various pulmonary resection was performed; lobectomy was 55.5%, lobectomy and segmental resection 20.6%, bilobectomy 13.1%, lobectomy, segmental resection and thoracoplasty 4.9% and pneumonectomy was 3. 2%. 2. The most common associated disease was pulmonary Tbc, its frequency was 47.5% and next was chronic bronchitis [31%]. 3. The postoperative complication was observed in 19.6% [12 cases] and the most common was wound infection. 4. The possibility of recurrence was relatively high in the cases of residual lesion and it needs more intensive medical care. 5. The surgical result was satisfactory in 86.9% (53 cases), slight improvement in 4.9% (3 cases) and the mortality rate was 1.6% (1 case).

During the past ten years from 1972 to 1981, a total of 100 cases of bronchiectasis were treated by pulmonary resection at C.A.F.G.H. Pulmonary tuberculosis and frequent U.R.I. were the most frequent associated disease and encountered in 54% in this series. Various types of pulmonary resection were performed on 100 patients; left lower lobectomy in 40 cases, left lower lobectomy and lingular segmentectomy In 29 cases, right lower lobectomy in 12 cases, right middle and lower lobectomy in 12 cases, lingular segmentectomy in 3 cases, left pneumonectomy in 3 cases and both lower lobectomy in 1 case. Complications developed in 9 cases and 1 case among them died of sepsis following secondary opera-tion. Among complications of 9 cases, postoperative atelectasis showed in 4 cases, hemorrhage in 2 cases, bronchopleural fistula in 2 cases, pulmonary edema in 1 case. Complications were treated by conservative and secondary operative management with satisfactory result except one death. Remainders without complication showed good result without symptom in postoperative and follow-up periods.

This study is based on an analysis of 76 cases of bronchiectasis treated by pulmonary resection at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, School of Medicine, Keimyung University from September, 1978, to February, 1989. There were 37 males and 39 females, and their age raged from 7 to 75 years, with 66 cases (87.7%) between 10 and 39 years. The past history included mealses(36/8%), frequent URI (26.3%), pulmonary tuberculosis(23.7%), and pneumonia or bronchitis (21.1%). The main clinical symptoms were cough(90.8%), purulent sputum(88.2%), hemoptysis(64.5%). The preperative diagnosis was made by bronchography. Thirty-five cylindrical, 16 cystic, 1 varicose and 20 mixed types of bronchiectasis were noted. The majority of the cases had disease in the dependent portion of the lung. Various types of pulmonary resection were performed. Early complications developed in 10 cases(13.2%), but no operative death. THe follow-up ranged from 10 months to 137 months. In 57 cases having resection of all bronchiectatic lesion, 48(84.2%) had excellent or improved conditions, but 5(8.8%), unchanged. In 19 cases whom not all demonstrable disease removed, 14(73.7%) had excellent or improved conditions, but 3(15.8%0, unchanged.

Bronchiectasis is an irreversible dilatation that may require surgery for successful treatment. We compared High Resolutional Computed Tomography[HRCT]with Bronchography to access the utility of HRCT in diagnosis and determining the extent of Bronchiectasis. We performed a comparative study of HRCT and Bronchography in 10 consecutive patients who were clinically suspected Bronchiectasis were investigated prospectively during last year.A segment-by-segment analysis of the presence, extent, type of bronchiectasis by Amashita classification was done. In 26 segments, Results of HRCT and Bronchogram were both positve, and 119 segments were both negative.But 15 segments were discorded, in 11 segments in positive bronchogram were negative in HRCT and 4 segments in positive HRCT were negative in bronchogram. The diagnostic concordance rate between 2 modalities was 90.6%[145/160]. So, we will be tried to elevate of concordance rate between 2 modalties and applied HRCT in diagnotic tool for bronchiectasis.

Kartagener`s syndrome is a clinical entity comprising a combination of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and sinusitis or nasal polyposis. This syndrome is rare and is usually seen in a young age group. The syndrome is punctated by recurrent upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia. This is a report of Kartagener`s syndrome found in 18 years old male and 21 years old female patients who were received surgical treatment of bronchiectasis. The male patient was performed right transposed lingular segmentectomy and lower lobectomy and female patient was perforated left transposed middle lobectomy and lower lobectomy. Both patients were discharged with good results.

Purpose: In this study, symptom experience and quality of life(QoL) in patients with Bronchial asthma(BA) and Bronchiectasis(BRC) were examined to develop nursing strategies. Method: Data collection was done with 61 outpatients with BA and 43 outpatients with BRC in January and February, 2001. Data analyses were performed using SPSS Win 8.0. Result: The mean scores of symptom experience were 11.3 and 10.8 in patients with BA and BRC, respectively. The mean score of QoL was 18.0 in patients with BA and 19.2 in patients with BRC. There were statistically significant differences in the score of the symptom experience according to sex and occupation in patients with BA, and to the religion and occupation in patients with BRC. The mean score of QoL had significant difference according to the income in patients with BA, but had no significant differences in patients with BRC. The score of QoL had significantly correlated with the degree of symptom experience in patients with BA(p=.000) and with BRC(p=.022). Conclusion: The degree of symptom experience negatively correlated with QoL. Therefore, symptoms experienced by patients should be considered in development of nursing strategies for patients with BA and BRC.

기관기관지 잔유조직에 의한 선천성 식도협착은 드문 질환으로 주로 중·하부 식도에 혼히 발생한다. 발생원인은 태생기 원시 전장에서 식도와 기도가 정상적인 분리를 못하여 식도벽내에 기관지 연골조직이 존재하며, 이로 인하여 연하곤란이 생후 직후부터 서서히 생기게 된다. 4세의 여아가 최근 2년간 악화된 연하곤란을 주소로 입원하였다. 식도이완 불능증의 진단하에 수술을 시행하였으며, 식도-위 경계부 상방 4cm부위에서 백색의 단단한 결절성의 종괴를 발견하였다. 수술은 종괴를 제거하고 식도의 확장 성형술을 시행하였으며, 술후 조직 소견상 기관연골과 기관지점 막 상피로 밝혀졌다.

선천성 호흡기 식도루가 성인에서 발견되는 경우는 매우 드물다. 선천성 호흡기 식도루는 수술하지 않으면 대부분 영아기에 사망하는데 간혹 H 모양의 호흡기 식도루가 생존하여 성인 연령에서 발견되기도 한다. 성인에서는 주로 반복되는 폐렴이나 기관지확장증 같은 만성 염증성 질환을 보여 우연히 진단되는 경우가 많다. 성인 연령까지 생존하는 호흡기 식도루는 대체로 좌우 주기관지 이하의 하부 호흡기에 연결된 기관지 식도루로 우리나라에서는 40예 정도 보고되어 있다. 그러나 상부 호흡기인 기관과 연결된 기관 식도루는 보고되어 있지 않다. 한일병원 흉부외과에서는 우리나라 최초로 성인 연령에서 발견된 선천성 기관 식도루 1예를 수술치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

성인에서의 식도 기관지루는 임상적으로 드문 질환으로, 본 인제대학교 상계백병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1991년 부터 1994년까지 8명의 환자에서 수술적 교정을 시행하였다. 대상환자의 남녀비는 5:3이었으며 연령분포는 21~61세까지 평균 44.12 $\pm$ 14.62세 이었다. 이중 선천성 식도 기관지루 환자가 7명이었으며, 1명의 환자는 후천성 식도 기관지루 환자이었다. Braimbridge와 Keity에 의한 선천성 식도 기관지루 분류상, 4명이 제1형에 해당하였으며 3명이 제2형에 해당하였다. 수술 전 진단방법으로는 6명의 환자에서 식도 조영술에 의해 식도 기관지루를 발견할 수 있었으며 기관지 내시경 검사와 기관지 조영술로 2례가 진단되었고, 식도 내시경에 의해 1례가 진단되었다. 또한 한명의 환자에서는 우측 폐 하엽의 기관지 확장증으로 폐엽 절제술을시행하는수술시야에서 우연히 발견하여 진단이 되었다. 수술은 모든 례에서 루 절제술을 시행하였으며, 동반된 수술적 조치로는 게실절제술이 4례, 우측 폐하엽절제술이 4례, 우측폐 중하엽 절제술이 1례, 좌측폐 하엽 쐐기 절제술이 1례이었다. 동반된 폐 질환들은 우측폐 하엽의 기관지 확장증이 4례로 가장 뭬弩만\ulcorner 우측폐 하엽의 기질화하는 폐렴이 2례, 좌측폐 하엽의 기질화하는 폐렴이 1례씩 있었다. 수술 후 환자들의 입원 기간은 10일 부터 38일까지 평균 19.75$\pm$11.40일이 었으며, 모든 환자들은 현재 외래 통한 추적 관찰하고 있는 바(6개월에서 49개월, 평균 22.38 $\pm$ 10.47개월), 이상 없이 잘 지내고 있다.
