Background/Aims: Situs inversus viscerum (SIV) is a congenital condition defined by left-to-right transposition of all visceral organs. This anatomical variant has caused technical challenges in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Data on ERCP in patients with SIV are limited to case reports of unknown clinical and technical success rates. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and technical success rates of ERCP in patients with SIV. Methods: Data from patients with SIV who underwent ERCP were retrospectively reviewed. The data were collected by querying the nationwide Veterans Affairs Health System database for patients diagnosed with SIV who underwent ERCP. Patient demographics and procedural characteristics were collected. Results: Eight patients with SIV who underwent ERCP were included. Choledocholithiasis was the most common indication for ERCP (62.5%). The technical success rate was 63%. Subsequent ERCP with interventional radiology-assisted rendezvous has increased the technical success rate to 100%. Clinical success was achieved in 63% of cases. Among cases of subsequent rendezvous ERCP after conventional ERCP failure, clinical success was achieved in 100%. Conclusions: The clinical and technical success rates of ERCP in patients with SIV were both 63%. In patients with SIV in whom ERCP fails, interventional radiology-assisted rendezvous ERCP can be considered.

벼 건답직파재배에서 시비효율의 향상과 시비량 절감을 위해 피복요소 복합비료와 종자를 같은 장소에 파종 및 시비하는 접촉시비 효과를 검토하기 위하여 덕평통에서 시험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. $m^2$당 입모수는 관행이 120개였으나 전촉시비 70%구는 146개, 접촉시비 70%구는 126개, 접촉시비 50%구는 129개로 종자와 비료가 직접 접촉하게 시비하여도 비료 농도 장해는 전혀 없었다. 2. 토양용액중의 $NH_4-N$ 함량은 파종후 약 30일째인 6월 13일에 전 처리구에서 높았으며 생육이 진행될수록 감소하였고 관행구에 비해 피복요소복합비료 시용구들이 높았으며 접촉시비구에 비해 전층시비 70%구가 높았음. 3. 시비질소 이용률은 접촉시비 50%구가 가장 높았고 접촉시비 70%구 > 전층시비 70%구 > 관행 구순이었다. 4. 수량은 시비방법간에 통계적 유의성은 없었지만 접촉시비 50%와 70%구가 시비량은 적었지만 수량은 1~2% 증수되었다.

The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung consists of an enlarged, meaty, multicystic lobe with smooth-walled cysts of varying sizes, which can communicate with major bronchi through malformed air passages that usually lacks cartilage. This abnormality is usually symptomatic in infancy with signs of respiratory distress such as tachypnea, substernal retraction and cyanosis. Prompt surgical resection is choice of treatment in life-threatening respiratory distress patients. We recently experienced a case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung in a patient with situs inversus totalis. The patient was 40 days old female who showed severe respiratory difficulty. Emergency left middle lobectomy was undergone successfully. Her postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged from hospital on the postoperative eighth day in good condition.

A case of successful surgical correction of double-outlet right ventricle with situs inversus, dextrocardia, subaortic ventricular septal defect, and pulmonic stenosis is described. The great vessels were normally related but in mirror-image arrangement. Another coronary artery anomaly, single origin of coronary artery and a large anomalous coronary artery coursed across the right ventricular outflow tract, was accompanied. Intracardiac repair with a Dacron tunnel conduit and extracardiac jumping graft with a valved conduit gave an excellent result.

A 4-year and 11-month old child was diagnosed as having dextrocardia, pulmonary atresia, atrioventricular discordance, aorta from right ventricle, PDA, the interruption of right pulmonary artery and postoperative state of Blalock-Taussing shunt on right pulmonary artery. Anatomical repair so called \"double switch operation\" was performed; the Ratelli procedure on ventricular level and the Mustard procedure on atrial level. We report the successful anatomical repair of congenitally Physiologically Corrected Transposition even with Dextrocardia, Situs Inversus and the interruption of Right Pulmonary Artery.ry Artery.

We report our experience with two cases of situs inversus totalis, both involving patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. These were a 52-year-old male with a preoperative staging of cT1bN0M0 and a 68-year-old male with a staging of cT2N0M0, both of whom underwent surgery. The former was found to have vascular anomalies in the preoperative computed tomography, so we performed a computed tomography angiography with three-dimensional reconstruction. Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy with Billroth I anastomosis was performed with D1+ lymph node dissection, and a small laparotomy was made for extracorporeal anastomosis. In contrast, the latter case showed no vascular anomalies in the preoperative computed tomography, and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with delta anastomosis was performed with D1+ lymph node dissection. There were no intraoperative problems in either patient and they were discharged without postoperative complications. Histopathological examination revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (pT2N0M0) and a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (pT1aN0M0), respectively.

선천적 무설증은 매우 드물게 보고되는 증상이다. 무설증을 가진 환자는 구개 이상, 하순 결손, 하악 측절치 결손 등을 포함한 하악골의 발육부전을 나타낸다. 무설증의 원인은 밝혀지지 않았으나 유전적 요인이나 발생 4주시기에 기형유발물질의 영향으로 추정되고 있다. 무설증의 치료는 혀를 재건해주는 외과적 술식과 하악골의 성장을 돕는 교정적 술식, 하악골의 길이를 늘리는 distraction osteogenesis 등이 있으며 무설증의 정도에 따라 달라진다. 본 증례는 선천적 무설증과 situs inversus(장기의 좌우가 바뀐 상태)를 가진 6세 여아에서 무설증으로 인한 하악골의 횡적 수축을 악정형 장치를 이용하여 치료하였으며 향후 2차 교정과 외과적 수술을 계획하기에 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare condition in which cardiac and abdominal organs are inverted from their normal left-sided orientation. Mirizzi syndrome, characterized by the obstruction of the common hepatic duct or the common bile duct by gallstone, is a rare condition. Mirizzi syndrome co-occurrence in SIT patients is rare. Gallbladder in sinistroposition is extremely uncommon in SIT patients. We report a known case of diabetes, ventricular septal defect with transposition of the great arteries in a 32-year-old female who presented with jaundice, cholangitis, chills, and fever that had lasted for 10 days. She was confirmed to have SIT with type III Mirizzi syndrome following a series of diagnostic procedures. Primarily, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography along with common bile duct stenting was performed to initially reduce cholangitis. After an eight-week follow-up after the reduction of cholangitis, surgery was conducted. Mirror-imaged ports were used for the laparoscopic procedure, and the surgeon was on the patient's right side rather than the usual left side. The patient was discharged from the hospital following two days of uneventful healing.

Kartagener syndrome (KS) is a rare disease with an incidence of 1 in 20,000 to 30,000 births. There is no cure for KS, and conservative medical treatments are used to relieve symptoms and prevent disease progression. Lung transplantation (LT) is the only treatment option for end-stage KS. Since patients with KS have anatomical abnormalities such as situs inversus totalis, which often require surgery to correct, most reports are related to surgical techniques. Reports about morphological adaptations and changes in transplanted lung structure after LT in patients with KS are rare. We performed LT in a patient with KS and observed morphological adaptation of the lungs for 6 months on chest computed tomography using a quantitative evaluation tool (Chest Image Platform; Harvard University Disability Resources, Cambridge, MA, USA).
