The inhalation of a foreign body into the tracheobronchial tree is a child is a life-threatening accident. Forgotten foreign bodies In the airways cause chronic pulmonary infections, allergic asthma, bronchiectatic changes, and lung abscess Foreign bodies that cannot be grasped by bronchoscopic forceps should be removed by thoracotomy and bronchotomy. This report describes our experience In 16 patients who were treated to remove inhaled foreign bodies from the airways after repeated bronchoscopies had been unsuccessful from 1963 to 1981 at the department thoracic surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. The surgical procedures are as follows: 12 patients bronchotomy, 2 patient pneumonectomy, 2 patients lobectomy. In these cases, the foreign bodies are 8 metallic material, 3 plastic material, 1 bean, 1 black snail, and 3 cases of no records. Bronchotomy must be performed as soon as possible in order to avoid more advanced pathologic changes In the Involved lung, such as bronchiectasis, fibrosis or abscess.

과오종은 가장 흔히 보는 폐의 양성종양이나 기관지 내에 발생하는 경우는 드물다. 더욱이 지방종성인 경우는 매우 드물다. 73세 남자에게 한 달 전부터 객혈이 발생되어 입원하였다. 기관지경 검사에서 우상엽기관지를 막고 있는 돌출된 종괴가 발견되었다. 수술 중 얻은 동결 조직에서 양성으로 진단되어 기관지절개만으로 종양을 제거하였다. 저자들은 기관지절개만으로 제거된 지방종성 기관지내 과오종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다.

Hamartoma has been considered rare disease as a congenital malformation of a tumorous lesion since the original description by Albrecht in 1904. Pulmonary hamartoma is interesting to chest surgeon because of good result by surgical procedures and of slightly high incidence then another organs. It is characterized as lesion of very slow growing mass as peak incidence of age of 50 years age group and as sex ratio is 2:1. Especially endobronchial hamartoma is rarer than peripheral type. We had experienced a case of endobronchial hamartoma who has 53 years old male patient at right main bronchus and then treated by excision of tumor mass through right bronchotomy and preserving right lung except any lobectomy and pneumonectomy.

Endobronchial hamartoma is a extremely rare lesion. The patient was 47 years old female and complained of cough and dyspnea for several years. On bronchoscopy, a finger tip size mass, nearly occluding the left main bronchus and located 4cm from the carina, was found. Bronchoscopic biopsy showed the chronic inflammatory findings.We performed bronchotomy and removed the mass through left thoracotomy. The endobronchial tumor was confirmed hamartoma histopathologically.

Foreign body aspiration is a cause of the accidental death at home. Therefore, early intervention and proper management is important. A bronchoscopy is indicated whenever there is a suggestive history and medical opinion. Occasionally, foreign body removal with bronchoscopy may be fail. But, on the situation, there is no definite recommended standard management. We experienced two cases of bronchial foreign body could not be removed with bronchoscopy at first intervention. The one was diagnosed too late. Endobronchial granulation tissue and edema made it impossible to find the foreign body at first bronchoscopy. After steroid and antibiotic therapy, foreign body could be removed with secondary bronchoscopy. Another was bronchial foreign body jammed tightly bronchus intermedius. Even after medical therapy, patient got aggravated. So foreign body was removed with bronchotomy.

기관절제술은 기도확보를 위해 다양한 임상적 상황에서 행해지는 술식으로 1546년에 Brasabola에 의해 처음 성공적으로 시행되었다. 기관절제술의 적응증으로는 상기도 폐쇄의 완화, pulmonary toilet의 촉진, dead space의 감소 및 mechanical ventilation의 장기 사용시 등을 들 수 있겠다. 그동안 term에도 변화가 있었는데, 1718년 까지는 "bronchotomy"란 term 이 사용되었고 그후 "tracheotomy"란 term 이 사용되었으나 1820년 이후에는 "tracheostomy"란 term 이 나오게 되어 현재 이 두가지 term 이 구별없이 사용되고 있다. 기도폐쇄를 야기시킬 수 있는 악안면 부위의 외상 혹은 여러가지 질병의 증가 추세로인해 구강외과의사가 기관절제술을 시행해야할 상황을빈번히 맞게 된다. 이에, 본 교실에서 기관절제술을 시행한 31 명의 환자에 대한 임상적 고찰을 통해 숙련된 기관절제술 및 그 처치능력의 중요성을 보고하는 바이다.

This BEF will be resolved with tissue adhesive application The bronchoesophageal fistula[BEF] is a rare lesion in thoracic surgical diseases & is difficult to be closed surgically. Tissue adhesives has been used widely in surgical fields, or in endoscopy, for some time and seems to be potentially useful in cardiothoracic surgery. We have experienced the closure of BEF with tissue adhesive Tisseel in 2 cases recently. One is 60 years old male who had taken the closure of BEF with Tisseel through right bronchotomy. The other is 57 years old female who had taken the closure of BEF with Tisseel with flexible gastrofiberscopy. The postoperative courses are uneventful for 4 months to now.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare primary tracheal tumor and this tumor behave slow growth, low-grade ma!ignancy, locally invasion and long-term host survival. Operation with the primary goal of complete excision is the treatment of choice but this tumor require excessive margins at surgical removal because of locally invasive cancer. A 45-years-old male patient had complained paroxysmal coughing from 1 year ago prior to admission and was diagnosed pre-operatively as endotracheal adenoma. He had been treated by operation, and combined with radiotherapy by 4 MeV. Lineal Accelerator. The tracheal mass was removed by tracheo-bronchotomy transpleurally and right total pneumonectomy was performed. There was post-operative course uneventfully and no post-operative complication. The patient Is free from cancer until post-operative 1 year clinically and alive with good healthy.

Benign tumor of the lung are relatively uncommon and leiomyoma among these is one of the rarest tumors. Because of salient features as well as the location of the leiomyoma, which led to the destruction of the lung and subsequent pneumonectomy, the importance of early diagnosis should be emphasized. Recently, authors experienced a leiomyoma of left main stem bronchus with complete atelectasis of the lung, resected with left thoracotomy and transverse bronchotomy in a 58 year old male. The tumor resected was composed of dense interlacing spindle cells by hematoxilin-eosin and also trichrome stains. At repeated bronchoscopic examination postoperatively, one and three months later, there was no evidence of any residual or recurrent tumors. For the universal rarity of the leiomyoma in the bronchus or lung and also there is no report in the reviews of the Journal of Korean Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery since volume one, 1968, authors report a case with the foreign literature reviews.

We experienced plastic reconstruction of tuberculous bronchostenosis with patient`s rib cartilage. He suffered from coughing and sputum for 2months, and was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis 10 years ago. In preoperative bronchoscopy, left main bronchus was fibrotic obstructive and LUL bronchus was severely destructed. After thoracotomy, we harvested the rib cartilage at the 6th rib, and designed semicircular and tubular graft. And then onlayed the graft over the longitudinal bronchotomy site by simple interrupted sutures with 4-0 Vicryl Postoperative course was good, coughing and sputum disappeared. In postoperative bronchoscopy, the patch graft was good in that position, and the internal diameter was sufficient, but the granuloma was found in the stoma of LUL bronchus. He was discharged without any other event.
