A segmental resection and rotationplasty was performed in 23 patients with malignant and aggressive boning tumor of the distal femur or proximal tibia between February 1988 and September 1992 at the Severance Hospital. There were 13 male and 10 female patients. The yongest was 5 years old and the oldest was 37 years old. Mean age at operation was 22 years. Of the 23 cases 14 were osteosarcoma, 7 were giant cell tumor and 2 were synovial sarcoma. After an average observation period of 32.5months, there was no evidence of local recurrence but 6 distant metastasis developed. According to Shriner's rating scale, the functional result were excellent or good in all cases. All patient were convinced that they chosen the appropriate operative procedure and the ability to achieve high level of activity was considered as the main benefit.

기관의 양성종양은 드물고 증상과 증후가 비슷하므로 대개 기관지 천식으로 잘못 진단된다. 원발성 신경섬유종은 슈반세포(Schwann cell)에서 기원하며 예후는 좋으나 재발할 수도 있고 악성으로 변할 수도 있기 때문에 기관 분절절제와 단단문합술이 권장되어진다. 최근 기관에 발생한 원발성 신경섬유종을 기관 분절절제와 단단문합술로 성공적으로 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Primary neoplasms of the trachea are rare, but are a very serious critical life-threatening disease. Nearly all the lesions of the trachea are presented as obstructive lesions. Bronchoscopic examination including chest C-T, tomogram and air tracheogram are essential for the further definition of these lesions. The need for removal of tracheal tumors whether complete or incomplete, is clear enough regardless of the histology of the tumor. We have experienced 9 cases from Jan. 1965 to June, 1985. One patient with tracheal hamartoma was cured with complete resection through rigid bronchoscopy and another patient with fibrous histiocytoma was treated with re-excision and laser evaporation through superior mediastinotomy due to recurrence, 1 year later. The remaining patients were treated with mass excision or segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis through collar incision and superior mediastinal sternotomy. The remaining two patients were operated with and segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis of trachea using partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The histologic diagnosis were adenoid cystic Ca[5], fibrous histiocytoma[1], mucoepidermoid Ca[1]. hamartoma[1], anaplastic Ca.[1]. Three patients were treated post-operatively with radiation; with adenoid cystic Ca.[2] and anaplastic Ca.[1]. Their post-operative courses were uneventful during the follow-up from 2 months to 7 years.

Despite improvement in respiratory care, including use of low pressure and high volume cuffed tubes, tracheal stenosis remains a serious complication after a long-term tracheal intubation and tracheostomy. In such patients, tracheal resection and primary anastomosis is still considered ideal therapeutic modality. Between 1989 and 1997, we performed tracheal resections with end-to-end anastomosis on 14 patients with no operative mortality and some morbidity. Tracheal stenosis was caused by tracheostomy in nine patients, by endotracheal intubation in three patients and by thyroid carcinoma in two patients. The length of stenosis was various from 2cm to 4.5cm. All patient underwent segmental tracheal resection and primary anastomosis(14 patients) and additional procedures were cricoid cartilage reconstruction(2 patients), suprahyoid laryngeal release(3patients), carinal release technique(2 patients) and arytenoidectomy(2 patients). We have nine complications: granulona at anastomosis site in four patients, vocal cord palsy in two patients and restenosis, pneumonia, skin necrosis in each of those patients. The granuloma was removed by bronchoscopic forceps(4 patients). Vocal cord palsy was treated by arytenoidectorny(2 patients), restenosis by T-tube insertion, pneumonia by antibiotics and skin necrosis was treated by skin graft. We reviews our expenence of clinical features of tracheal stenosis and surgical treatment by tracheal one-to-end anastomosis with additional procedures to avoid postoperative complications for sucessful results.

We report a case with dysphagia for solids. A 51-year-old man with benign esophageal stricture was transferred for endoscopic treatment. He had lye ingestion history at 9 years old and underwent esophagectomy with right colonic interposition for the treatment of the benign esophageal stricture. But his symptom was acting up 2 years ago and lasted afterward even though he had underwent endoscopic treatments for dysphagia several times, including balloon dilation and stent insertion. He had polypoid enhancing wall thickening around anastomosis site of stomach with perigastric soft tissue density and suspicious nodular extension to omentum on the small bowel computed tomography. So he had a surgical resection of small bowel and jejunojejunostomy, and the pathological result was adenocarcinoma, intestinal type with soft tissue infiltration. Later he underwent total gastrectomy with segmental resection of interpositional colon and segmental resection of duodenum and ileo-colic anastomosis revision. And recently he has been on chemotherapy.

This case describes a tracheal stenosis complicated by endobronchial truberculosis. A 50-year-old female with progressive dyspnea was referred to us for the management of long segmental tracheal stenosis. Treatment modalities for tracheal stenosis include open surgical resectin and reconstruction, mechanical dilation, laser resection, and placement of an airway prosthesis. The following is a report of a successful treatment of a long segmental tracheal stenosis through a tracheal augmentation and the use of al Bovine pericardium. This technique may provide a relief from tracheal stenosis.

The management of giant cell tumor involving juxta-articular portion has always been a difficult problem. In certain some giant cell tumors with bony destruction, a wide segmental resection may be needed for preventing to recur. But a main problem is preserving of bony continuity in bony defect as well as preservation of joint function. The traditional bone grafts have high incidence in recurrence rate, delayed union, bony resorption, stress fracture despite long immobilization and stiffness of adjuscent joint. We have attemped to overcome these problems by using a microvascular technique to transfer the fibula with peroneal vascular pedicle as a living bone graft. From Apr. 1984 to Nov. 1990, we performed the reconstruction of wide bone defect after segmental resection of giant cell tumor in 4 cases, using Vascularized Fibular Graft, which occur at the distal radius in 3 cases and at the proximal tibia in 1 case. An average follow-up was 2 years 8 months, average bone defect after wide segmental resection of lesion was 11.4cm. These all cases revealed good bony union in average 6.5months, and we got the wide range of motion of adjacent joint without recurrence and serious complications.

Treatment of giant cell tumor of distal radius can be treated in several ways according to the aggressiveness of the tumor. But the management of giant cell tumor involving juxta-articular portion has always been a difficult problem. In some giant cell tumors with bony destruction, a wide segmental resection may be needed for preventing to recur. But a main problem is preserving of bony continuity in bony defect as well as preservation of joint function. We have attempted to overcome these problems by using a microvascular technique to transfer the fibula with peroneal vascular pedicle or anterior tibial vessel as living bone graft. From April 1984 to July 2005, we performed the reconstruction of wide bone defect after segmental resection of giant cell tumor in 14 cases, using Vascularized Fibular Graft, which occur at the distal radius. VFG with peroneal vascular pedicle was in 8 cases and anterior tibial vessel was 6 cases. Recipient artery was radial artery in all cases. Method of connection was end to end anastomosis in 11 cases, and end to side in 3 cases. An average follow-up was 6 years 6 months, average bone defect after wide segmental resection of lesion was 6.8 cm. All cases revealed good bony union in average 6.5 months, and we got the wide range of motion of wrist joint without recurrence and serious complications. Grafted bone was all alive. In functional analysis, there was good in 7 cases, fair in 4 cases and bad in 1 case. Pain was decreased in all cases but there was nearly normal joint in only 4 cases. Vascularized fibular graft around wrist joint provided good functional restoration without local recurrence.

The bullectomy, or sedge resection of the lung including bullae is the treatment of choice for the recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax, and but results in pleuropulmonary fistulae in postoperative periods in some emphysematous lungs. There are many methods to close the air leakages with T-M, Talc powders. Or the closure of air leakage sites can be closed c resuture, wedge resection or lobectomy through re-explothoracotomy. Tisseel, a in thoracic surgical areas in recents. We have sealed the post-operative air leakage sites after bullectomy or segmental resection for 4 recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax with the spray of Tisseel & throbin through thoracoscope without re-explothoracotomy. The post-operative courses are uneventful to now.
