Background: This study aims to evaluate whether or not the method of right vertical axillary minithoracotomy (RVAM) is preferable to and as reliable as conventional sternotomy surgery, and also assesses its cosmetic results. Methods: Thirty-three patients (7 males, 26 females) with atrial septal defect were admitted to the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of Cukurova University from December 2005 until January 2010. The patients' ages ranged from 3 to 22. Patients who underwent vertical axillary minithracotomy were assigned to group I, and those undergoing conventional sternotomy, to group II. Group I and group II were compared with regard to the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative variables. Group I included 12 females and 4 males with an average age of $16.5{\pm}9.7$. Group II comprised 14 female and 3 male patients with an average age of $18.5{\pm}9.8$ showing similar features and pathologies. The cases were in Class I-II according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification, and patients with other cardiac and systemic problems were not included in the study. The ratio of the systemic blood flow to the pulmonary blood flow (Qp/Qs) was $1.8{\pm}0.2$. The average pulmonary artery pressure was $35{\pm}10$ mmHg. Following the diagnosis, performing elective surgery was planned. Results: No significant difference was detected in the average time of the patients' extraportal circulation, cross-clamp and surgery (p>0.05). In the early postoperative period of the cases, the duration of mechanical ventilator support, the drainage volume in the first 24 hours, and the hospitalization time in the intensive care unit were similar (p>0.05). Postoperative pains were evaluated together with narcotic analgesics taken intravenously or orally. While 7 cases (43.7%) in group I needed postoperative analgesics, 12 cases (70.6%) in group II needed them. No mortality or major morbidity has occurred in the patients. The incision style and sizes in all of the patients undergoing RVAM were preserved as they were at the beginning. Furthermore, the patients of group I were mobilized more quickly than the patients of group II. The patients of group I were quite pleased with the psychological and cosmetic results. No residual defects have been found in the early postoperative period and after the end of the follow-up periods. All of the patients achieved functional capacity per NYHA. No deformation of breast growth has been detected during 18 months of follow-up for the group I patients, who underwent RVAM. Conclusion: To conclude, the repair of atrial septal defect by RVAM, apart from the limited working zone for the surgeon in these pathologies as compared to sternotomymay be considered in terms of the outcomes, and early and late complications. And this has accounted for less need of analgesics and better cosmetic results in recent years.

Background: Sutureless valves are widely used in aortic valve replacement surgery, with Perceval valves and Intuity valves being particularly prominent. However, concerns have been raised about postoperative thrombocytopenia with Perceval valves (Corcym, UK). We conducted a comparative analysis with the Intuity valve (Edwards Lifesciences, USA), and assessed how thrombocytopenia affected patient and transfusion outcomes. Methods: Among 595 patients who underwent aortic valve replacement from June 2016 to March 2023, sutureless valves were used in 53 (Perceval: n=23; Intuity: n=30). Platelet counts were monitored during hospitalization and outpatient visits. Daily platelet count changes were compared between groups, and the results from patients who underwent procedures using Carpentier Edwards Perimount Magna valves were used as a reference group. Results: Compared to the Intuity group, the Perceval group showed a significantly higher amount of platelet transfusion (5.48±1.64 packs vs. 0.60±0.44 packs, p=0.008). During the postoperative period, severe thrombocytopenia (<50,000/μL) was significantly more prevalent in the Perceval group (56.5%, n=13) than in the Intuity group (6.7%, n=2). After initial postoperative depletion, daily platelet counts increased, with significant differences observed in the extent of improvement between the Perceval and Intuity groups (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in early mortality or the incidence of neurological complications between the 2 groups. Conclusion: The severity of postoperative thrombocytopenia differed significantly between the Perceval and Intuity valves. The Perceval group showed a significantly higher prevalence of severe thrombocytopenia and higher platelet transfusion volumes. However, thrombocytopenia gradually recovered during the postoperative period in both groups, and the early outcomes were similar in both groups.
One hundred consecutive patients with the Tetralogy of Fallot underwent total correction at National Medical Center during the period 1977 to 1984, Oct. During this study period, we adopted more active policy towards reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract across pulmonary valve. The mortality was 48% for patients less than 15 kg and 19% in patients above 15kg. Initially Bretschneider`s solution was used as cardioplegia, which was replaced by St. Thomas` solution since 1983, Jan. After then overall mortality dropped to 9% compared to 45% of initial learning period. Heart block occurred In 11 patients, 10 of whom died of combined low cardiac output syndrome. Pure low cardiac output syndrome was noted in 18 patients, most of whom responded to medical measures well except 4 patients. Recently sepsis of Serratia marcescence, which occurred explosively during several months to open heart surgery patients, attacked 3 tetralogy patients resulting in 2 hospital deaths. Our experience has shown that body weight, choice of cardioplegia and accumulation of experience as well as advance of operative and postoperative techniques are still important factors affecting survival rate at initial learning period.

Purpose: Multidisciplinary approaches of surgical resection and chemotherapy have been widely used for the treatment of non-metastatic osteosarcomas. We aimed to assess the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for metastasis and disease-specific survival. Materials and Methods: Authors retrospectively reviewed 225 young (<30 years old) and non-metastatic osteosarcoma patients who underwent surgical resection and postoperative chemotherapy between February 1984 and July 2010. Mean age was 14.4 years old (ranged: 4-29 years old) and average follow-up period was 9.1 years (2-28 years). The patients were divided into two groups according to the application of preoperative chemotherapy. Both groups were compared with clinical characteristics, metastasis-free survival and disease-specific survival. Results: All of 225 patients, 32 patients were treated with postoperative chemotherapy and 193 patients were performed preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy. Postoperative chemotherapy group showed significantly high rate of amputation (p<0.001). Metastasis was occurred in 101 patients. Postoperative chemotherapy group indicated significant higher rate of metastasis (69% vs 41%, p=0.004) and early development of metastasis (mean: 11.5 vs 20.3 months, p=0.045) than pre-and postoperative chemotherapy group. Fifty-seven patients were died of osteosarcoma. Postoperative chemotherapy group revealed significant lower rate of 5-year disease-specific survival than pre-and postoperative chemotherapy group (51% vs 84%, p=0.001). Adult (>15 years) and large sized tumor (>8 cm) were meaningful risk factors of metastasis and disease-specific survival. Although, local recurrences were occurred in 13 patients, there was no significant difference. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy offers better disease-specific survival and metastasis-free survival.
Since 1978, We have experienced 87 cases of Fontan operations and the candidates of that increased in numbers recently with the improvement of the diagnostic and operative technique. We studied the prerequisite factors and hemodynamics of 22 cases of Fontan operations, done during the last one year period, which were 3 tricuspid atresia, 16 functional single ventricle and 3 anatomic single ventricle. The mean age was 68 months and the mortality rate 24%, and 9 patients of under 4 years of age were operated with 22.2% mortality rate, but the youngest, 16 months of age, patient survived well without problems. The preoperative pulmonary artery pressure[PAP], pulmonary vascular resistance[PVR] and postoperative right atrial pressure[RAP], left atrial pressure[LAP] value influenced the mortality, but age, preoperative Hb, preoperative PaO2 and pulmonary artery index[PAI] did not. There were favorable survival tendency in under 15mmHg of preop. PAP, 2a of preop. PVR and under 25cmHyO of postop. RAP, under 15cmHyO of postop LAP. The younger, the more pleural effusion and the longer postoperative admission days. The higher preop. Hb related to the higher postop. transpulmonary pressure gradient and the lower preop. PaO2 and PAI. The higher preop. PaO2, the less pleural effusion and postop. admission days. Preop. PAP closely related to preop. PVR and postop. LAP and high PVR increased the pleural effusion and postop. admission days. The larger PAI, the larger CI. We concluded that there were so many factors influencing the postoperative condition, but preop. PAP, PVR, Hb, postop. RAP and LAP were the most ones.

Objective : The authors reviewed 51 patients of spinal cord tumor located at the craniovertebral junction and high cervical area to determine which factors influenced resectability, complications, and postoperative outcomes. Methods : Radiological examinations, clinical data, and operation notes were evaluated, and additional follow-up information was obtained from outpatient examinations. The mean follow-up period was 3.5 years Results : The most common neurological findings were motor deficit(72.5%) and sensory change(47.1%). There was no clinical finding that is considered as pathognomic. Meningioma(18 cases, 35.3%) was the most common tumor in this region. Total removal was achieved in 45 patients. There was no surgical mortality. Immediate postoperative motor weakness were encounted in 11 cases(21.6%) which improved in long term followup except two patients. Conclusions : The location and relationship of the tumor to surrounding struncture determine its resectability. Postoperative results were related to the preoperative neurological status and pathological findings.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of callotasis using the external fixator for the treatment of brachymetatarsia. Materials and Methods: Eleven patients(15 cases) who underwent callotasis were available. Follow-up averaged 23 months(15-38 months). Both the patients' postoperative satisfaction and the postoperative radiographic results were retrospectively evaluated. Results: The duration from applying the external fixator to remove averaged 15 weeks (8-21 weeks). We did osteotomy again in two cases because of early consolidation at the osteotomy site during distraction period. All cases were evaluated mild claw toe deformity and motional pain in metatarsophalangeal joint, but all patients satisfied the postoperative results except one complained motional pain and stiffness in metatarsophalangeal joint. The metatarsal shortening averaged 13mm(9-18mm) before operation. The amount of distraction for shortened metatarsals averaged 15mm(5-22mm). We found the 6 cases of narrowing of the metatarsophalangeal joint, 2 cases of subluxation of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Conclusion: We think that callotasis with external fixator is good operative method for the brachymetatarsia.
Background Numerous methods exist for simultaneous correction of mild blepharoptosis during double eyelid surgery. These methods are generally categorized into either incisional (open) or non-incisional (suture) methods. The incisional method is commonly used for the creation of the double eyelid crease in patients with excessive or thick skin. However, concurrent open ptosis correction is often marred by the lengthy period of intraoperative adjustment, causing more swelling, a longer recovery time, and an increased risk of postoperative complications. Methods The authors have devised a new, minimally invasive technique to alleviate mild ptosis during incisional double eyelid surgery. The anterior lamella is approached through the incisional technique for the creation of a double eyelid while the posterior lamella, including Muller's and levator muscles, is approached with the suture method for Muller's plication and ptosis correction. Results The procedure described was utilized in 28 patients from June 2012 to August 2012. Postoperative asymmetry was noted in one patient who had severe preoperative conjunctival scarring. Otherwise, ptosis was corrected as planned in the rest of the cases and all of the patients were satisfied with their postoperative appearance and experienced no complications. Conclusions Our hybrid technique combines the benefits of both the incisional and suture methods, allowing for a predictable and easily reproducible correction of blepharoptosis with an aesthetically pleasing double eyelid.
Despite of mortality and morbidity rates that are higher than other forms of therapy, surgical resection has been mainstay for the treatment of esophageal cancer because of a prompt completeness as well as a high possibility of cure. But a substantial numbers of patients are unsuitable for surgical treatment and those undergoing resection have still poor long term survival rate. With hopes of improving long term survival, we have attempted multimodal approach, composed of preoperative induction chemotherapy utilizing Cisplatin and 5 \ulcornerFU, surgery and postoperative loco-regional radiotherapy for the treatment of esophageal cancer since 1985. During the period of 1967 \ulcorner1985, 27 patients[group A] were treated by surgery only and during recent 5 years 28 patients[group B] by multimodal treatment, Clinical review and comparison between the two groups were as follows: l. Applied surgical procedures were hand-sewn esophagogastrostomy, esophagocologastrostomy and esophagojejunostomy in group A. In group B, only esophagogastrostomy was underwent using stapler mainly. 2. Incidence of peri and postoperative complication showed no remarkable differences between the two groups, but the occurrences of leakage from the anastomotic site were 5[19% ] out of group A and 1[4%] out of group B. 3. The response rate to induction chemotherapy was 36% in group B, 4. The number of local cancer recurrence at the site of anastomosis was 6[22%] out of group A, whereas 2[7%] out of group B. 5. Postoperative I year and 2 year survival were 61%, 15% in group A and 75%, 42% in group B.
This series compromised 31 patients with pulmonary hypertension of 282 patients of ventricular septal defect(VSD) who underwent operation at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in Chonnam University Hospital, from January, 1986 to December, 1991. Pulmonary hypertension was noted in 59 of 280 cases of VSD. Of them, 31 cases underwent cardiac catheterization on postoperative 8th to 77th month. Age at operation was ranged from 10 months to 29 years (mean 9.13 years). 17 patients were male and 14 patients were female. Results of follow-up studies were as follows: Cardiothoracic ratio was decreased from 0.59${\pm}$0.04 to 0.54${\pm}$0.03 (p=NS). Postoperative systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPs), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPm), and systolic right ventricular pressure (RVPs) were decreased significantly (p<0.001). And also Rp/Rs was decreased from 0.37${\pm}$0.21 to 0.14${\pm}$0.06 (p<0.02). However, systemic arterial pressure (SAP), right atrial pressure (RAP), and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) were changed insignificantly. There were significant relations of follow-up period with the decrement of PAP(p<0.005). In contrary, ther were no relations between the decrement of PAP and the age at operation. These data suggested that the long-term hemodynamic changes remained to be determined in some of the patients, even though they Were asymptomatic, with pulmonary hypertension.
