결핵성 대동맥염은 그 빈도가 드문 질환이다. 이 결핵성 대동맥염으로 인한 합병증인 동맥류의 발생이나 대동맥-기관지루의 형성은 더욱 희귀하며, 만일 대동맥의 파열이 동반된다면 그 사망률은 치명적으로 매우 높다. 객혈을 주소로 내원한 환자가 있다면, 결핵의 병력이 없더라도 즉시 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 시행해야 신속하고 정확하게 이 질환을 진단할 수 있다. 환자는 46세 남자로, 내원 하루 전부터 시작된 객혈과 흉부 불편감을 주소로 내원하였다. 시행한 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영상 하행성 흉부 대동맥의 동맥류 소견이 관찰되었으며, 대동맥-기관지루를 통해 좌측 폐하엽과 연결되어 있었다. 본원에서는 하행성 흉부 대동맥의 인조혈관 치환술 및 좌측폐하엽 절제술을 시행함으로써 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 조직학적 검사 결과 결핵으로 확진되어 항결핵제 치료를 시작하였으며, 향후 장기간의 항결핵제 복용이 추천된다.

The pectus excavatum or funnel shaped thorax is a relatively frequent malformation of the chest wall which composed of depressed sternum and costal cartilage. The so-called sternal turnover operation for pectus excavatum has been disappointing due to postoperative complication such as fistula formation with necrosis of bone and muscle. Thus, the need of preserved vascular pedicle to sternum was stressed in this type of operation, keeping the bilateral internal mammary vessels preserved. We have experienced two cases of modified sternal turnover in children and obtained satisfactory postoperative results.

Background: Maintenance of adequate vascular access for hemodialysis is important in patients with end-stage renal disease. Once arteriovenous fistula (AVF) occlusion occurs, the patient should be treated with rescue therapy. This study was performed to evaluate the results of a rescue therapy for AVF occlusion. Methods: From January 2008 to December 2012, 47 patients who underwent surgical rescue therapy for AVF occlusion after graft AVF formation, were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups, namely the graft repair group (group A, n=19) and the thrombectomy group (group B, n=28). Postoperative results of both groups were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the clinical characteristics between the two groups. In terms of the duration of AVF patency after the first rescue therapy, group A showed a longer AVF patency duration than group B ($24.5{\pm}21.9$ months versus $17.7{\pm}13.6$ months), but there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.310). In terms of the annual frequency of AVF occlusion after the rescue therapy of group A was lower than that of group B (0.59 versus 0.71), but there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.540). The AVF patency rates at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years after the first rescue therapy in group A were 52.6%, 31.5%, 21.0%, and 15.7%, respectively, and those in group B, they were 32.1%, 25.0%, 17.8%, and 7.14%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p=0.402). Conclusion: Graft repair revealed comparable results. Although there was no statistically significant difference, the patent duration and annual frequency of AVF occlusion of group A were better than those of group B. Therefore, graft repair is considered as a safe and useful procedure for maintaining graft AVF.

Purpose: Incidence, risk factors, and clinical consequences of pancreatic fistula (POPF) after D1+/D2 radical gastrectomy have not been well investigated in Western patients, particularly those from Eastern Europe. Materials and Methods: A total of 358 D1+/D2 radical gastrectomies were performed by surgeons with high caseloads in a single surgical center from 2002 to 2017. A retrospective analysis of data that were prospectively gathered in an electronic database was performed. POPF was defined and graded according to the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) criteria. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to identify potential predictors of POPF. Additionally, the impact of POPF on early complications and long-term outcomes were investigated. Results: POPF was observed in 20 patients (5.6%), according to the updated ISGPS grading system. Cardiovascular comorbidities emerged as the single independent predictor of POPF formation (risk ratio, 3.051; 95% confidence interval, 1.161-8.019; P=0.024). POPF occurrence was associated with statistically significant increased rates of postoperative hemorrhage requiring re-laparotomy (P=0.029), anastomotic leak (P=0.002), 90-day mortality (P=0.036), and prolonged hospital stay (P<0.001). The long-term survival of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma was not affected by POPF (P=0.661). Conclusions: In this large series of Eastern European patients, the clinically relevant rate of POPF after D1+/D2 radical gastrectomy was low. The presence of co-existing cardiovascular disease favored the occurrence of POPF and was associated with an increased risk of postoperative bleeding, anastomotic leak, 90-day mortality, and prolonged hospital stay. POPF was not found to affect the long-term survival of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.

Parotid gland plays the most critical role in saliva secretion in the oral cavity. Parotid gland injuries due to facial trauma can cause various complications such as formation of a fistula or sialocele. Thus, such saliva-related complications can interfere with wound healing and increase the risk of infection. Several previous studies have discussed the treatment of fistula or sialocele. Nonetheless, prevention of such complications is of utmost importance. We present a case of parotid gland injury due to trauma to the cheeks that was surgically treated, with early postoperative management involving oral administration of nortriptyline and closed drainage, without complications.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether any clinical factors or conditions are associated with an increased incidence or degree of pain occuring during endodontic treatment in patients who begin treatment with no symptoms. The 260 teeth of 256 patients were surveyed and statistical analysis was used to determine whether a significant relationship existed between pain and any recorded clinical factors or conditions. The following conclusions were drawn. 1. No significant relationship between interappointment pain and any of the analyzed clinical factors or conditions except for fistula formation could be determined. 2. The presence of a draining fistula from a periapical lesion significantly decreased the posttreatment pain. 3. The judicious use of canal irrigants and canal medicaments is not associated with an increased incidence or degree of interappointment pain.

Because the number of patients who require maintenance hemodialysis is increasing in number recently, angioaccess has become important to many vascular surgeons participating in the management of such patients.The authors created 269 arteriovenous fistulas[AVF] for angioaccess in 229 patients with chronic renal failure[CRF] at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in Chungnam National University Hospital during the period from August 1990 to March 1993. We analyzed the results of 260 operations for 220 patients except 9 patients who were lost during the follow up period. We performed snuffbox AVF in 171 cases, classic radiocephalic AVF in 46 cases, direct AVF at other site in 5 cases, forearm Gore-Tex AVF in 29 cases, and upper arm Gore-Tex AVF in 9 cases. We experienced 13 cases of operative failures, 11 cases of early complications, and 60 cases of late complications including obstructions during follow-up period. The 1 year, 2 year and 3 year patency rates of snuffbox AVF[Group 1], classic radiocephalic AVF[Group 2], and Gore-Tex AVF[Group 3] are like followings; 89, 84, 76% in group 1, 84, 75, 68% in group 2, and 79, 66, 55% in group 3. It showed a statistically significant difference between group 1, 2 and group 3.

This study was performed for the purpose of investigating the possibility of epithelization on the defect of digestive tract after covering it with serosal wall of the cecum in the dog. The results obtained were as fallows: 1. Each defect of the digestive tract revealed almost complete formation of the mucous membrane and the muscle. Especially it was most fast in the jejunum. 2. Fistula formation was not found in all the experimental cases. The defects of small intestine and large intestine near the cecum were healed more fastly than the other portion. 3. The stomach and the duodenum appeared intestinal adhetion more frequently than the jejunum and the colon. Therefore, it is considered that covering with serosal wall of the cecum in the lower intestine is far better than in the upper intestine.
