Slide tracheoplasty. as a treatment for congenital tracheal stenosis, has been recently reported to have good results and quite a number of advantages as compared with conventional tracheoplasties. The aim of this study is to report a new surgical technique modified from the slide tracheoplasty. "the slide cricotracheoplasty" for the congenital cricotracheal stenosis. A girl was born by Cesarean section and the diagnosis of esophageal atresia (Gross type C) and cricotracheal stenosis (30 % of total length of trachea) was established. Esophageal atresia was successfully corrected at the 8th day of life. At the 31st day of life, corrective surgery for congenital cricotracheal stenosis. the slide cricotracheoplasty. was performed with success. Slide cricotracheoplasty is almost the same procedure as slide tracheoplasty except for two technical features. First the cricoid cartilage was split on its anterior surface. Second the split cricoid cartilage was fixed to pre vertebral fascia to maintain enough space to accommodate the sliding caudal segment of trachea because of the stiffness of the cricoid cartilage. We believe that the sliding cricotracheoplasty is a new surgical technique for congenital cricotracheal stenosis that has similar results and advantages as the sliding tracheoplasty.

We experienced a surgical case of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula combined with imperforated anus, tracheal bronchus in a one day baby. A vacuum delivered full term baby, weighing 4.1 Kg showed grunting respiration, repeated regurgitation and distended abdomen after birth. Esophagogram revealed markedly dilated proximal esophagus as blind pouch and also noted displaced type of tracheal bronchus of right upper lobe by incidental bronchogram. Surgical correction with Haight anastomosis was performed successfully on the second day.

Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula without esophageal atresia is very rare and often has an insidious clinical course that occaisionally persists into adult life. A 54-year-old female patient presented at our emergency room with a complaint of hemoptysis and dyspnea. Esophagogram revealed a fistula tract between mid-low esophagus and right superior segmental brochus of lower lobe. Fistulectomy was performed without problem. The postoperative course was uneventful.

1994년 1월부터 2003년 6월까지 경북대학교 의과대학 외과학 교실에서 경험한 선천성 장폐쇄증 환자 36명을 대상으로 재태기간과 출생시 체중, 산전진단 및 출생장소, 임상소견, 수술전 검사, 동반기형, 수술방법, 형태학적 분류, 합병증 및 사망률을 후향적으로 검토하였다. 총 36예의 환자중에서 십이지장 폐쇄증 17예, 공장 폐쇄증 11예, 회장 폐쇄증 8예 있었다. 남녀비는 십이지장 폐쇄증은 1.4:1, 공장 폐쇄증 2.7:1, 회장 폐쇄증의 경우는 7:1 이었다. 형태학적 분류에서 십이지장 폐쇄증은 3형이 7예로 가장 많았으며, 공장 및 회장 폐쇄증은 1형이 10예로 가장 많았으며, 3a형이 7예 있었다. 임상 소견은 담즙성 구토와 복부 팽만이 가장 흔한 증상이었다. 수술 전 검사는 십이지장 페쇄증은 전예에서 단순복부촬영만으로 정확하게 진단이 가능하였다. 동반 병변은 십이지장 폐쇄증 환자 중선천성 심기형 6예, 다운증후군이 3예 있었고, 공장 및 회장 폐쇄증에서는 3예에서 태변성 복막염이 동반되었다. 수술방법은 부분절제술을 시행한 경우가 13예로 가장 많았다. 술 후 합병증은 문합부 유출 3예, 장 폐색증 3예, 창상 감염이 3예 있었으며, 십이지장 폐쇄증 환자 2예 9사망률:11.8 %)에서 동반된 선천성 심 기형으로 사망하였으며, 공장 폐쇄증 환아 2예(사망률: 18 %)는 폐혈증과 3b 형에서 장 절제 후 단장 증후군으로 각각 사망하였다.

A 4-week-old 0.5 kg male Shih Tzu with history of congenital abnormality, abnormality, was referred to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chungbuk National University for further evaluation and treatment. During physical examination, the dog revealed mild depression and dyschezia. In plain radiographs, a digital thermometer put in the anus and grasped blind end of the rectum. In contrast radiographs, a urethrorectal fistula was confirmed. Urine specimens were collected with cystocentesis. Bacteria of the urine were detected using an auto microorganism analyzer. According to history taking, physical examination, radiographic signs and urinalysis, it was diagnosed as type IV atresia ani with a urethrorectal fistula. The dog was treated by fistulectomy and anoplasty, and discharged with instruction. Three days after operation, mild dehiscence was appeared. Wound was left to heal by second intention. During the follow-up of eight weeks, wound showed it to be healed and defecation was normal.

This study was aimed to evaluate associated congenital anomalies in the patients with esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF). Forty-two neonates with the diagnosis of EA/TEF treated over a 10 year period in a single institution were included in this study. The demography of EA/TEF was analyzed. Major associated anomalies including vertebral, anal, cardiac, renal, limb, neurologic and chromosome were reviewed and categorized. Males were slightly more dominant than females (1.47:1) and all patients had Gross type C EA/TEF. Only 19 % of the patients had solitary EA/TEF without associated anomalies. Cardiac anomalies were the most common associated congenital anomaly in patients with EA/TEF (73.8 %). But 47.6 % were cured spontaneously or did not affect patients' life. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was the most common cardiac anomaly followed by patent ductus arterious (PDA) and ventricular septal defect (VSD). Among gastrointestinal anomalies (23.8 %), anorectal malformations were the most frequent, 70 % Vertebral and limb abnormalities accounted for 11.9 % and urogenital malformations 9.5 % of the anomalies in patients with EA/TEF. VACTERL associated anomalies were 23.8 % and 1.8% had full VACTERL. Almost 12 % of EA/TEF had neurologic anomalies. Patients with EA/TEF require preoperative evaluation including neurologic evaluation to detect anomalies not related to VACTERL. Though associated cardiac anomaly occurred in 73.8 % of patients in our study, only 21.42 % needed surgical correction. The authors suggesrs further studies with large numbers of patients with EA/TEF.

An 1-year-old, spayed, female Labrador Retriever was presented for bilateral epiphora. A complete ophthalmic examination was conducted, including Schirmer tear test, rebound tonometry, fluorescein staining, slit lamp biomicroscopy, and binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy. To determine the patency of the nasolacrimal duct system, a nasolacrimal flush and dacryocystorhinography were also performed. Although the nasolacrimal flush showed patency in the upper and lower lacrimal puncta in both eyes (OU), the lower lacrimal puncta were not found in the original palpebral conjunctiva, but on medial canthal skin with very small opening. Moreover, the nasolacrimal ducts in OU were not patent with flushing. Bilateral nasolacrimal duct atresia was confirmed by dacryocystorhinography. No other abnormalities of the eyes were found on complete ophthalmic examinations. Bilateral congenital anomalies of the lower lacrimal puncta and nasolacrimal duct atresia were diagnosed in this dog.

Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare anomaly that can appear in adult life uncommonly. There was a largest review that include 100 cases in the literature. In our case, he was 48 years old male patient who admitted for chronic coughing and recurrent lobar pneumonia on the right lower lobe since 10 years old. We could confirmed the fistular preoperatively by barium swallow examination and performed division of the fistula. The patient’s postoperative course was unremarkable. According Braimbridge’s classification, it was belonged to the type II.

Benign esophagobronchial fistula without esophageal atresia is a relatively rare disease. Fistula between the esophagus and bronchi may be congenital, traumatic, inflammatory or neoplastic. In our country, several case reports have been presented and the causes were either congenital, spontaneous, or inflammatory, such as, tuberculosis and diverticulum of esophagus. A 36 year old man experienced cough secondary to swallowing a Korean soup, frequent URIs and dyspnea. Esophagobronchial fistula was diagnosis by the esophagogram. Treatment was by resection with mid-lobectomy of the Rt. lung. After surgery, the patient`s general condition was stable.
