Most of the patient with endobronchial tuberculosis have some degree of bronchial stenosis. however, a part of bronchial stenosis need aggressive treatment for the patency because of severe symptoms. The self-expendable metallic stents provide palliative treatment for narrowed airways where surgical resection is inadvisable. We experienced a successful left wedge pneumonectomy on a 29-year-old woman with obstruction of left main bronchus due to complication of the bronchial stent. She had inserted self-expendable metallic stents on left main bronchus of the tuberculous bronchial stenosis two times. There was no specific postoperative complication.

Local anesthesia is routine procedure in dental practices and has several complication. One of them, needle fracture is not uncommon in past, but rare in recent. The number of cases reported in the literature of broken needle in local anesthetic procedure has shown a marked decrease since the use of disposable spiral-constructed dental needle began. This complication results from lack of patient cooperation, inaccurate anesthetic technique, sudden movement of patient, error in the manufacturing procedure, use of short needle, and bending before use. Most common site is pterygomandibular space during inf. alveolar nerve block. In two patients, we removed broken needles under general anesthesia without complication. So we report cases with review of literatures.

Injection laryngoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures in patients with glottic insufficiency. Various materials and injection sites have been used to medialize the true vocal folds. Ideal material would be easily injected through a fine- gauge needle, well tolerated, long lasting and without complications. Although injection laryngoplasty rarely result in complication, physicians must be familiar with the types of complications that can occur. Proper diagnosis and prompt management of complication can result in good outcome.

This case report aims to review complications that can occur during arthrocentesis and report an unusual complication observed in a 55-year-old man. The patient received arthrocentesis in an attempt to treat painful locking episodes of his right temporomandibular joint (TMJ). One hour after the operation, the patient experienced temporary facial paralysis in the area of the facial nerve and anesthesia of the lingual and alveolar inferior nerves. No persistent complications were detected during the postoperative follow-up. We suspected this complication occurred after anesthetic solution overflowed from a traumatic perforation in the joint capsule to the infratemporal area during the operation. To our knowledge, this complication has not been previously reported in the literature.

To clarify the safety of both total and near-total thyroidectomy, and to guide a selectionof an adequate type of surgical treatment of thyroid diseases, 192 consecutive total or near-total thyroidectomy cases were reviewed. They were divided into two groups: ont, the total thyroidectomy group(Group T,N=111) and the other, the near-total thyroidectomy group (Group NT, N=81). In both groups, complication rates, associations of complication rates with extents of surgery and stage of lesion were observed. Complication rate was significantly higher in Group T (53.6% vs 12.3%, p<0.05). But the rate of permanent complications such as permanent hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was remarkably low(4.5% in Group T, 6.0% in Group NT) and shows no significant difference in both groups. There was no permanent complication in cases where any type of neck dissection had not been performed regardless of the type thyroidectomy. But among whom underwent central compartmental neck dissection(CCND) and functional neck dissection(FND), 4(4.4%) and 4(6.4%) cases showed permanent complications. There was no statistical significance in differences between Group I and NT. In cases who underwent concomittant classical radical neck dissection(RND), 3(25.5%) showed permament complications. In this subgroups, complications were significantly higher in Group T(p<0.005). Complications were also directly related to the stage of the lesion. Only one patient showed permanent complication in 74 intracapsular lesions but 9 permanent complications were observed in 118 advanced lesions. We could clarify both total and near-total thyroidectomy were safe operations and the complications were related to accompanying neck dissections and the disease status rather than total or near-total thyroidectomy itself. Thus, we think that for the cases where higher complication rates are expected, such as locally advanced thryoid cancers or the cases which required wider neck dissection, the near-total thyroidectomy would be a preferrable method.

Purpose: Operative morbidity and mortality from gastric cancer have decreased in recent years, but many studies have demonstrated that its prevalence is still high. Therefore, we investigated the risk factors for morbidity and mortality considering the type of complication in patients with gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 259 gastrectomies between 2004 and 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Overall morbidity and mortality rates were 26.6% and 1.9%, respectively. A major risk factor for morbidity was combined resection (especially more than two organs) (P=0.005). The risk factors for major complications in which a re-operation or intervention were required were type of gastrectomy, upper location of lesion, combined resection, and respiratory comorbidity (P=0.042, P=0.002, P=0.031). Mortality was associated with preexisting neurologic disease such as cerebral stroke (P=0.016). In the analysis of differen complication's risk factors, a wound complication was not associated with any risk factor, but combined resection was associated with bleeding (P=0.007). Combined resection was an independent risk factor for a major complication, surgical complication, and anastomotic leakage (P=0.01, P=0.003, P=0.011, respectively). Palliative resection was an independent risk factor for major complications and a previous surgery for malignant disease was significantly related to anastomosis site leakage (P=0.033, P=0.007, respectively). Conclusions: The risk factors for gastrectomy complications of gastric cancer were combined resection, palliative resection, and a previous surgery for a malignant disease. To decrease post-gastrectomy complications, we should make an effort to minimize the range of combined resection, if a palliative gastrectomy is needed for advanced gastric cancer.

1979년부터 1986년까지 자궁경부암으로 진단되어 외부방사선 및 강내 방사선 치료를 함께 받은 550명의 환자를 대상으로 직장 합병증과 방사선량에 대한 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 전체 환자550명 중 468명은 근치적 목적으로 방사선 치료를 받았으며, 82명은 수술후에 추가적인 방사선 치료를 받았다. 이들 82명 중 43명은 수술절제연 양성으로, 31명은 원발질환의 재발로, 8명은 stump cancer로 방사선 치료를 받았다. Grade 2와 3를 포함하는 직장 합병증의 발생률은 5년에 $6.7였다. 합병증이 생긴 환자군의 직장에 조사된 방사선량은 $7424{\pm}834$ cGy이었으며, 이는 합병증이 발생하지 않은 환자군의 $6946{\pm}717$ cGy보다 많았고 통계학적 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05) 직장합병증의 정도에 따른 방사선량의 차이는 통계학적 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 전체 합병증의 발생률은 직장에 조사된 방사선량에 따라 증가하였는데, 6,500 cGy 이하에서는 5년 합병증 발생률이 15.6이었으며 8,000 cGy 이 상 조사된 환자군에서는 71.2이었다. 직장 합병증에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 Cox의 방법에 의해 다변량분석한 결과 당뇨가 있는 경우 합병증 발생률이 증가하였으며, 강내 방사선치료는 한번 시행한 경우보다 두번 시행한 환자군에서 합병증 발생률이 더 적었다. 또한 자궁의 후방만곡은 ovoid의 크기와 함께 분석된 경우에 통계적으로 중요한 의미를 나타내었고, ovoid의 크기는 이번 분석에서 합병증 발생에 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났다. 직장에 조사된 방사선량도 중요한 요소로서 방사선량이 많아질수록 합병증 발생률은 증가하였다(p<0.05). TDF와 CRE단위로 분석하였으며 선량과 합병증의 관계는 cGy 단위의 결과와 같았다.

Background Cleft treatment is frequently performed in Indonesia, mostly in charity missions, but without a postoperative protocol it is difficult to establish the risks and complications of cleft treatment. The present study was designed to give an overview of current cleft lip and palate treatment strategies in Indonesia and to assess the complication rates during and after surgery. Methods This prospective study evaluated anesthetic, intraoperative surgical, and short-term postoperative complications in patients undergoing primary, secondary, or corrective surgery for cleft lip and palate deformities. The population consisted of 98 non-syndromic cleft patients. The main anesthetic complication that occurred during general anesthesia was high blood pressure, whereas the main intraoperative surgical complication was excessive bleeding and the main early postoperative complication was extremely poor wound hygiene. Results In this study, there were no cases of perioperative or postoperative mortality. However, in 23 (23.4%) of the 98 operations performed, at least one perioperative complication related to anesthesia occurred. The intraoperative and early postoperative complications following cleft lip and/or palate were assessed. There was a significant difference in the complication rate between procedure types (χ²=0.02; P<0.05). However, no relationship was found between perioperative complications related to anesthesia and the occurrence of postoperative complications (χ²=1.00; P>0.05). Nonetheless, a significant difference was found between procedure types regarding perioperative complications and the occurrence of postoperative complications (χ²=0.031; P<0.05). Conclusions Further evaluation of these outcomes would help direct patient management toward decreasing the complication rate.
