Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is the movemental obstacle of mandible which depend on proliferation of bony or fibrous tissue in temporomandibular joint structure by various causes. In order to treat this, various surgical methods have been performed, but no operative methods have been produced consistently successful results. This research has been performed to the patients who had been operated due to temporomandibular joint ankylosis by studying classification, cause, onset, duration, anesthesia and treatment method, symptom, change of mouth opening, complication through medical record, X-ray, follow-up for being a help to proper selection of treatment method and evaluation of prognosis. The author obtained the following results by analyzing 44 cases among patients who had been operated due to temporomandibular joint ankylosis during 8 year hospitalization from 1986 to 1993 in Dept. of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. 1. The occurrence was in the order of below 10, 20's, 10's, 30's. The average of occurrence was 12.95. Illness period was 50.0% within 10 years and 50% beyond 10 years. The average period of illness was 13.33 years. 2. Trauma occupied 54.5% of causes and inflammation occupied 45.5%. Men had more occurrences due to trauma and there was no difference in case of inflammation. 3. In nasotracheal intubations for general anesthesia, the cases of using fiberoptic laryngoscope occupied 40.9%, direct or blind nasotracheal intubation occupied 40.9% and the cases of using tracheostomy occupied 18.2%. 4. In operative approaching methods, submandibular & preauricular approach were mainly applied, and in operative methods, high condylectomy(Group I) occupied 11.4%, arthroplasty without interpositional material following condylectomy or gap ostectomy(Group II) occupied 11.4%, with interpositional material following high condylectomy (Group III) occupied 40.9%, and using condylar reconstruction following condylectomy or gap ostectomy(Group IV) occupied 36.6%. 5. In change of mouth opening reformed after surgery, Group III showed the best result of average 23.5mm, Group IV showed 16.3mm, Group I showed 14.9mm and Group II showed 10.2mm of reformation. Summarizing the results as written above, it is considered that early treatment is important as soon as possible in Temporomandibular joint ankylosis. It is recommended in surgical method what can lead to postoperative early movement maintaining anatomaical & functional form, and then the development of various surgical methods will be requested.

문명의 발달로 나날히 복잡해지는 사회 환경속에서 우리는 생명을 위협하는 수 많은 사고를 당하게 되며, 이럭 경우에 상기도를 유지하기 위한 기관절재술을 많이 시행하게 되는데, 때로는 기관협착등 이에 따른 여러가지 합병증을 유발하게 되는 경우가 있으며, 임상가들에게도 곤란한 문제를 갖어다 주고있다. 그러나 이러한 합병증은 수술방법의 개선과 항생제의 출현등으로 그 빈도가 많이 감소되기는 하였으나, 1969년 Lindholm은 술후성 기관협착증의 빈도를 1.5%내지 10%라고 했으며, 1969년 Donnelly, Mulder와 Rubush, 그리고 1971년 Andrew와 Pearson 등은 이들 원인의 대부분이 cuff 가 있는 기관삽입관이나, 기관케뉼(tracheal canula)의 부적합한 사용이나, 또는 감염에 의한 압박괴사(pressure necrosis)로 형성된다고 하였고, 협착부위로서 1972년 Bryce는 절개공(stoma)주위가 가장 많으며, 응급기관절개술시에 의사의 부정요법(mal-practice)도 원인이 될 수 있다고도 주의한 바 있다. 기관협착증의 치료로서 협착이 경미한 경우에는 일차적으로 세심한 관찰을 실시하면서 실리콘관(silicon tube)이나 스텐트(stent)를 사용하거나, 비강을 통한 삽관법(naso tracheal intubation)으로 기계적인 확장을 시도하며 (Schmiegelow, 1929, Montgomery, 1965), 육아조직이 형성되었을 경우에는 기관경검사하에서 이를 제거한 후에 steroid를 병용하는 편이 좋은데(Birck, 1970) 그밖에도 기관개찰술(Fenestration method, 백·홍 1974)이나 재수술(Revision)을 하기도 한다. 이러한 방법으로서도 치료가 불가능한 경우에는 그 협착 부분을 절제한 후에 단단문합술(End-to-End Anasto-mosis)을 시행하는 수도 있다. 저자들은 1967년 10월부터 1977년 3월까지 10연년간 세브란스병원에서 기관절개술을 받았던 1514례를 대상으로 일련의 조사를 실시하여 이들 중에서 기관협착증을 유발한 23례를 치료하였으며, 여기서 몇가지 지견을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Background: Down's syndrome, or trisomy 21, is the commonest congenital chromosome anomaly. With improvement in medical care, these patients increasingly reach adulthood in spite of their physical maldevelopment and mental retardation. And, the number of those who required general anesthesia for dental treatment is increasing. Methods: We reviewed the 26 cases of 22 patients with Down's syndrome who underwent outpatient general anesthesia for dental treatment at the clinic for the disabled in Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Results: The mean age was 22 years. They all had severe mental retardation and some had congenital heart anomaly, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, acute leukemia, autism, cleft palate, and chronic renal failure. For anesthesia induction, 4 cases was needed physical restriction, but others showed good or moderate cooperation. Drugs used for anesthesia induction was thiopental (17 cases) and sevoflurane (9 cases). All patients received nasotracheal intubation and 3 cases needed difficult airway management. Mean total anesthetic time was $166{\pm}60$ min and staying time at PACU was $92{\pm}48$ min. There was no death or long term hospitalization because of severe complications. Conclusion: If general anesthesia is needed, pertinent diagnostic tests and workup about anomaly, and appropriate anesthetic planning are essential for safety.

This study was aimed at furnishing the data of Naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures and aiding treatmenting Naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures A 5-year review of Naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures and concomitant injuries is presented. The patients were treated in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Wankwang University Hospital from Jan. 1, 1993 to Dec. 31, 1997. The results were as followes: Male predominated over female by a ratio of 4.6 : 1. The most common reasons is traffic accident(88.2%). The elapsed time from injury to operation is average 9.2 days, and the mean admission days were 79 days and removal of plates were average 217.3 days. The most associated facial bone fractures is Zygomatico-Maxillary complex fracture(20%). Associated injuries were neurologic injury(29.4%), orthopedic injury(23.5%), opthalmologic injury(17.6%), body injury(5.8%), neuropsychologic injury(5.8%) and otolaryngologic injury(5.8%) in this order. The most injured teeth were upper and lower incisors. The intubation methods for surgery were orotracheal(29.57%), submental(29.5%), and nasotracheal technique(41%). Most patients had complications, that were post-traumatic telecanthus, nasal depression, scar formation. This results suggest that early diagnosis and treatment is prerequisits to satisfactory result. Aggressive management of NOE fracture with direct or bicoronal exposure with aid of CT is now an accepted norm.

Purpose: An accurate preoperative analysis of the patient is essential in orthognathic surgery in order to acquire superior results. In profile, the location of the chin's position may change according to the neck's inclination. This may ultimately affect the amount of surgical movement. During acquisition of cephalometric radiographs, or in supine position, there is a discrepancy in the neck's inclination. This means that there are also various discrepancies between the actual profile and the various preoperative profile images. In the clinical situation, the decision in performing genioplasty usually lies in the analysis of the patient's profile on the operating table at the final stages of orthognathic surgery. This study aims to analyze the different preoperative profile images and to compare their discrepancies. Methods: Fifty eight patients undergoing orthognathic surgery were chosen. These patients were divided into three groups according to angle's classification of malocclusion, as class I, II or III. The right profile of these patients in centric occlusion was taken in natural head position (NHP). This was set as the 'actual profile image.' Another right profile image was taken on the operating table after insertion of the nasotracheal intubation and with muscle relaxants in effect. This was also taken in centric occlusion. The angle (denoted 'A') between the soft tissue glabella-pognion and the true vertical plane was found in the above-mentioned profile images and in the cephalometric radiographs. The differences of these values were analyzed. Results: There were differences in Angle 'A' in all of the preoperative images. These values were however, not statistically significant. Conclusion: In order to gain an esthetic profile during orthognathic surgery, the NHP is shown to be the most reliable position. Images reproducing such head positions should be used in the treatment planning process.

Patients in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic renal failure present a number of challenges to the anesthesiologist. They may be chronically iii and debilitated and have the potential for multiorgan dysfunction. A 65-year-old male patient with ESRD was scheduled for oral cancer surgery under general anesthesia. He was in regular hemodialysis three times a week and secondary hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy was accompanied. He also had chronic metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia. The day after hemodialysis, general anesthesia was carried out. Uneventful anesthetic induction using thiopental and vecuronium and nasotracheal intubation were carried out. General anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane for 9 hours. During the anesthesia, he did not have any problem but persistently increasing serum potassium level. After anesthetic emergence, he was transferred to intensive care unit for mechanical ventilation. So we report this successful case of anesthetic management in a patient with ESRD for oral cancer surgery, which massive bleeding and long anesthetic time were inevitable in, from the preoperative preparation to anesthetic emergence.

Background: General anesthesia is a necessary method for successful dental treatment for children, compromised patients and the disabled who have difficulty in cooperation. The aim of this study was to assess dental treatment under general anesthesia at the department of pediatric dentistry, Ajou university hospital on children and the disabled. Methods: 217 general anesthesia from June 2010 to June 2014 were assessed for this study. Patient's distribution, treatment pattern, reasons for general anesthesia, distribution of combined operation, duration of anesthesia, treatment, frequency of general anesthesia and agents for general anesthesia were examined. Results: The proportion of male, the disabled were higher and above 19 years age group was the highest. Combined operation with otolaryngology was highest. Main reasons for general anesthesia were mental retardation for the disabled and uncooperative behavior for the non-disabled. Percentage of restorative treatment was the highest. Average anesthesia duration was 186 minutes and average treatment time was 143 minutes. Most of the airway was maintained by nasotracheal intubation and induction was done by sevoflurane. Conclusions: General anesthesia for dental treatment has been increasing for children, the disabled who have a difficulty of cooperation. The demand for dental treatment under general anesthesia is expected to continuously increase. Therefore, continuous research and studies should be done to establish efficiency and safety of general anesthesia and provide an enhanced environment for treatment.

Between 1975 and 1992, forty five patients with trachea stenosis received tracheoplasty for relief of obstruction. The causes of airway problem are brain contusion[19 cases, 40%], cerebrovascular disease[3 cases, 7%], drug intoxication[8 cases, 18%], psychotic problem[2 cases, 4%], trachea tumor[3 cases, 7%], adult respiratory distress syndrome[9 cases, 20%] and direct trauma[1 case, 2%]. Direct causes of trachea stenosis were complications of tracheostomy[36 cases, 80%], complications of nasotracheal intubation[5 cases, 11%], tumor[3 cases, 6%] and trauma[1 case, 2%]. Thirty one patients underwent the sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Five patients performed a wedge resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Forteen patients received the Montgomery T-tube for relief of airway obstruction. Four patients have done simple excision of granulation tissue. Two, subglottic stenosis patients were received Rethi procedure[anterior division of cricoid cartilage, wedge partial resection of lower thyroid cartilage and Montgomery T-tube molding] and the other subglottic stenosis patient underwent permanent trachea fenestration. Including cervical flexion in all patients postoperatively, additional surgical techniques for obtain tension-free anastomosis were hyoid bone release technique in two cases, and hilar mobilization, division of inferior pulmonary ligament and mobilization of pulmonary vessel at the pericardium were performed in one case. Cervical approach was used in 39 cases, cervicomediastinal in 12 cases and transthoracic in one case. Complications of tracheoplasty were formation of granulation tissue at the anastomosis site[3 cases], restenosis[9 cases], trachea-innominate artery fistula[2 cases], wound infection[2 cases], separation of anastomosis[2 cases], air leakage[3 cases], injury to a recurrent laryngeal nerve[temporary 8 cases, permanent 2 cases] and hypoxemia[1 case]. Surgical mortality for resection with primary reconstruction was 6.7%, with one death due to postoperative respiratory failure and two deaths due to tracheo-innominate artery fistula.

Background: Elderly patients with progressive dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD) are more and more often scheduled to undergo general anesthesia for various pathologies including dental problem. But, there is high risk of deterioration of underlying mental diseases and other co-morbidities. So it is important to implement preventive strategies and take adequate measures to minimize negative perioperative events in these patients. Methods: We reviewed the 17 cases of 11 patients with AD who underwent ambulatory general anesthesia for dental treatment at the clinic for the disabled in Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Results: The mean age was 68 (57-81) years. All of them were diagnosed with AD and some had hypertsnsion, bronchiectasis, urinary incontinence. For anesthesia induction, 3 cases (1 patient) was needed physical restraint, but others showed good or moderate cooperation. Drugs used for anesthesia induction was thiopental (11 cases), propofol (3 cases) and sevoflurane (3 cases). All patients received nasotracheal intubation without difficulties. Mean total anesthetic time was 3 hour 44 min ${\pm}$ 60 min and staying time at PACU was 83 ${\pm}$ 34 min. All the patients except one who showed hypertension discharged without any complication. There was no death or long term hospitalization because of severe complications. Conclusions: If general anesthesia is needed, pertinent diagnostic tests and workup about other medical problems, and appropriate anesthetic planning are essential for safety.

중앙안면골 골절 환자에서 비골 골절과 동반되는 경우가 많으며, 주로 안면골 골절의 정복시 비골도 동시에 정복하지만 여러 가지의 원인에 의하여 이차 비성형술을 시행하여야 하는 경우가 많다. 그러므로 중앙안면골 골절 환자의 초진시 비골 골절에 대한 정확한 진단과 정확한 비골 골절의 정복 그리고 일차 비골 골절의 정복후 이의 적절한 유지와 고정이 중요하지만 이차 비성형술의 가능성에 대비하여야 하며, 일차 비골 골절의 정복시 대칭적인 정복을 시행함으로서 비교적 간단하게 이차 비성형술을 시행할 수 있으리라 생각되었다. 또한 중앙안면골 골절환자에서는 비부의 연조직이나 연골의 이차변형에 의하여 이차 비성형술을 시행할수도 있으므로 일차 수술후 주의깊은 관찰이 요구된다. 이러한 이차 비성형술에는 자가이식재 및 Silicone이나 $Medpore^{(R)}$등이 이용될 수 있으며, 특히 인공이식재의 경우 공여부의 정확한 형성과 적절한 고정이 필수적이며 향후 이러한 인공이식재의 안정성에 대한 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할것으로 사료된다.
