The objective of this study was to compare the total surgical time, pain score and hemorrhage after ovariohysterectomy (OVH) and bilateral flank ovariectomy (BFOVE) with hemoclips in dogs. OVH was operated on six dogs and BFOVE was performed on six dogs. In BFOVE group, both ovarian pedicle hemostasis applied using hemoclips after removing ovaries. Total surgical time was recorded from starting incision of skin to closure last skin suture. Pain score was measured at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery based on University of Melbourne Pain Scale (UMPS). Hemorrhage around clipping area, uterus, abdominal muscles, and skin were monitored after surgery. BFOVE technique could reduce total surgical time and pain after surgery. There was no hemorrhagic problems near ovarian pedicles following surgery. BFOVE with hemoclips could be useful and recommended for sterilization in dog.

Gastric hemangioma in the neonatal period is a very rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We present a case of hemangioma limited to the gastric cavity in a 10-day-old infant. A huge, erythematous mass with bleeding was observed on the lesser curvature side of the upper part of the stomach. Surgical resection was ruled out because the location of the lesion was too close to the gastroesophageal junction. Medical treatment with intravenous $H_2$ blockers, octreotide, packed red blood cell infusions, local epinephrine injection at the lesion site, application of hemoclip, and gel-form embolization of the left gastric artery did not significantly alter the transfusion requirement. Hemostasis was achieved with endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC). After two sessions of APC, complete removal of the lesion was achieved. APC was a simple, safe and effective tool for hemostasis and the ablation of gastric hemangioma without significant complications.

Background/Aims: Anastomotic leakage after esophageal surgery remains a feared complication. During the last decade, management of this complication changed from surgical revision to a more conservative and endoscopic approach. However, the treatment remains controversial as the indications for conservative, endoscopic, and surgical approaches remain non-standardized. Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, all patients who underwent Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for underlying malignancy were included in this study. The data of 28 patients diagnosed with anastomotic leak were further analyzed. Results: Among 141 patients who underwent resection, 28 (19.9%) developed an anastomotic leak, eight (28.6%) of whom died. Thirteen patients were treated with endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT), seven patients with self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) four patients with primary surgery, one patient with a hemoclip, and three patients were treated conservatively. EVT achieved closure in 92.3% of the patients with a large defect and no EVT-related complications. SEMS therapy was successful in clinically stable patients with small defect sizes. Conclusions: EVT can be successfully applied in the treatment of anastomotic leakage in critically ill patients, while SEMS should be limited to clinically stable patients with a small defect size. Surgery is only warranted in patients with sepsis with graft necrosis.

We reviewed 7 patients with unsuccessful endoscopic hemostasis using covered self-expandable metal stent (CSEMS) placement for post-endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) bleeding. ES with a medium incision was performed in 6 and with a large incision in 1 patient. All but 1 of them (86%) showed delayed bleeding, warranting second endoscopic therapies followed by CSEMS placement 1-5 days after the initial ES. Subsequent CSEMS placement did not achieve complete hemostasis in any of the patients. Lateral-side incision lines (3 or 9 o'clock) had more frequent bleeding points (71%) than oral-side incision lines (11-12 o'clock; 29%). Additional endoscopic hemostatic procedures with hemostatic forceps, hypertonic saline epinephrine, or hemoclip achieved excellent hemostasis, resulting in complete hemostasis in all patients. These experiences provide an alert: CSEMS placement is not an ultimate treatment for post-ES bleeding, despite its effectiveness. The lateral-side of the incision line, as well as the oral-most side, should be carefully examined for bleeding points, even after the CSEMS placement.

Objectives: To completely excise a malignant tumor which invades carotid artery walls, the resection and reconstruction of the carotid artery is essentially required. In most of the cases, interposition graft using a saphenous vein has been performed, however the vessel caliber discrepancy between a common carotid artery and the saphenous vein can result in a problem on surgical technique. We have introduced and evaluated a new titanium hemoclip tailing method to overcome vessel caliber discrepancy in interposition saphenous vein graft for carotid artery resection in the treatment of head and neck cancers. Method: After carotid artery resection, the calibers of the proximal common carotid artery and the vein were compared, and an orifice of the common carotid artery was gradually reduced to a little larger than or the same size as the orifice of the vein by using the titanium hemostatic clip. Subsequently, the common carotid artery was connected to the vein through anastomosis. The same method was also applied to the distal anastomosis site. There after, the vessels were connected through the anastomosis, and a circulation was restored by releasing a vascular clamp. Then, a titanium hemostatic clip-applied redundant portion on the outside of carotid artery was sutured by the blanket edge suture method, using 6-0 Prolene. Results: We have experienced this method in two patients with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma and neuroblostoma, respectively. The interposition saphenous vein graft of these patients was found to maintain good patency on the follow up angiography after one year, and they had no specific vascular complication, such as atherosclerosis. Conclusion: This method made it possible to simply perform the interposition saphenous vein graft (ISVG) within a short time and, therefore, was very useful for shortening the duration to block circulation.

성인에서 양성 원인에 의한 기관지식도루는 드물며 활동성 결핵이 원인 중 하나로 보고 되었지만 본 증례와 같이 결핵 후유증으로 장기간에 걸쳐서 발생할 수도 있고 만성 흡인과 기침 및 객혈의 원인이 될 수 있으며 활동성 폐결핵으로 오인될 수 있으므로 임상의사들의 주의가 필요하다.

배경: 미숙아에 있어서 동맥관의 외과적 폐쇄술은 인도메타신 투여 후 치료 실패나 적응증이 되지 않는 경우 일반적으로 시행하고 있다. 그러나 초극소 저출생 체중아(ELBW, <1,000그램)에서는 일반적인 개흉술이나 흉관 삽입 자체 만으로도 사망률이나 이환율에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 후방 소개흉술(dosal rninithoracotomy)을 통해 동맥관을 페쇄하고, 흉관을 삽입하지 않은 수술 방법의 단기성적을 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 3월부터 2008년 11월까지 동맥관의 의과적 폐쇄술을 시행한 재태기간 30주 이하의 미숙아 24명을 대상으로 하였다. 수술은 모두 신생아 중환자실에서 시행하였고 환아를 엎드려 누윈 상태에서 좌흉부를 30도 올려주는 체위를 취하고 견갑골 직하부위에 2 cm크기의 피부절개를 통해 제 3늑간으로 접근하였다. 면봉을 이용하여 벽측늑막 밖에서 조심스럽게 후종격동으로 박리를 시행하여 동맥관 주변조직을 박리 후 클립(Hemoclip)을 이중으로 사용하여 폐쇄 하였다. 늑막층의 손상이 없거나 미세한 경우는 흉관을 삽입치 않고 창상 봉합을 하여 수술을 종료하였다. 결과: 환아의 출생 시 재태기간은 23주에서 30주 사이로 평균 26.5$\pm$2.1주였으며, 수술 시의 평균 연령은 11$\pm$11일(0$\sim$33일)이었고 수술 시 평균 체중은 933$\pm$271그램(570$\sim$1,700그램) 이었다. 18명의 환아가 인도메타신 치료에 실패하고, 6명의 환아는 약물치료의 적응이 되지 않아 수술적 치료를 시행하였다. 모든 환아에서 수술 직후 확인한 단순 흉부 방사선상 의미있는 기흉은 관찰되지 않았으며, 술후 시행한 심초음파에서 2예를 제외하고는 완전한 폐쇄를 확인하였다. 잔존 단락이 있던 예들은 추적 관찰한 심초음파 검사에서 각각 수술 후 5일과 59일에 폐쇄가 확인되었으며 건강하게 퇴원하였다. 8명의 환아가 사망하였으나 수술과 직접적인 관계의 사인은 없었다. 결론: 미숙아의 동맥관 개존증의 수술요법으로 후방 소개흉술은 만족스러운 수술시야를 확보해 동맥관 폐쇄에 어려움이 없으며, 술후 흉관의 삽입을 줄임으로써 안전하고 효과적인 방법으로 여겨진다.
