연구목적 : 기관지폐포암은 다양한 임상적, 방사선적인 양상으로 나타나며 대표적인 방사선적인 양상으로 또는 종괴, 국소적 경화, 미만성 결절 또는 경화 등으로 나타난다. 고립성 결절 또는 국소적 경화 병변으로 나타난 기관지폐포암은 다발성 병변과는 달리 예후가 좋으므로 조기에 진단하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 고립성 결절로 나타나는 기관지폐포암은 비특이적 임상증상과 다양한 방사선 양상으로 폐렴, 폐결핵, 양성병변으로 오인되어 치료의 시기를 놓치는 경우가 있다. 이에 저자들은 고립성 폐결절로 나타난 기관지폐포암의 임상적, 방사선적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 다음과 같은 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1995년 1월부터 1996 년 8월까지 서울삼성병원에서 병리학적으로 기관지폐포암이 진단되고 방사선 소견에서 고립성 폐결절로 나타난 환자를 대상으로 임상적, 방사선적인 특성을 조사였다. 결 과 : 환자는 총 11명으로 남자는 6명, 여자 5명이었고 환자들의 연령은 37세에서 69세로 중앙 연령값은 60세이었다. 대부분의 환자는 증상이 없이 단순흉부촬영에서 우연히 이상소견이 발견되어 진단되었다. 단순흉부촬영상 대부분 경계가 불명확한 결절 또는 음영증가의 소견을 보였고 단순흉부촬영후 추측진단 양성병변이나 결핵성 폐병변으로 오인되었던 예가 6예였고 5예에서만 악성 결절로 추정되었다. 전산화단층촬영상 경화, 간유리 모양, 기관지 공기 조영, open bronchus sign, internal bubble-like lucencies, spiculated margin 또는 pleural tag등의 소견이 대부분의 환자에서 관찰되었다. FDG-PET 검사를 시행한 8예중 3예에서 악성을 의심하는 소견이 보였고 5예에서 위음성의 소견을 보였다. 병리학적인 진단은 경기관지폐생검과 경피적 폐생검을, 통해 진단된 예가 각각 1예, 2예이었고 8예에서는 비디오흉강경을 이용한 폐생검을 통해 이루어졌다. 환자는 모두 폐엽절제술을 시행받았고 수술후 병기는 $T_1N_0M_0$가 8예, $T_2N_0M_0$가 3예로 근치적 절제술이 가능하였다. 결 론 : 고립성 결절 양상의 기관지폐포암은 증상 없이 우연히 발견되는 경우가 대부분이며 단순흉부촬영상 주로 경계가 불명확한 결절 또는 음영증가의 소견으로 나타나 양성병변으로 오인되는 경우가 많았다. 만약, 이런 병변이 추적검사에서 계속 남아 있거나 커지는 경우는 흉부전산화단층촬영을 시행하여 경화, 간유리 모양, 기관지 공기조영, internal bubble-like lucencies, spiculated margin 또는 pleural tag등 소견을 보인다면 개흉술 등을 포함한 적극적인 진단적 접근이 필요하다고 생각된다.

Purpose: The aims are to: (i) display the multidimensional learning curve of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, and (ii) verify the feasibility of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy after learning curve completion by comparing it with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: From January 2005 to June 2012, 247 patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (n=136) and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (n=111) for early gastric cancer were enrolled. Their clinicopathological characteristics and early surgical outcomes were analyzed. Analysis of the totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy learning curve was conducted using the moving average method and the cumulative sum method on 180 patients who underwent totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. Results: Our study indicated that experience with 40 and 20 totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy cases, is required in order to achieve optimum proficiency by two surgeons. There were no remarkable differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy groups. The two groups were comparable in terms of open conversion, combined resection, morbidities, reoperation rate, hospital stay and time to first flatus (P>0.05). However, totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy had a significantly shorter mean operation time than laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (P<0.01). We also found that intra-abdominal abscess and overall complication rates were significantly higher before the learning curve than after the learning curve (P<0.05). Conclusions: Experience with 20~40 cases of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is required to complete the learning curve. The use of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy after learning curve completion is a feasible and timesaving method compared to laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy.

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) was originally classified as a developmental cyst, and OKCs were histologically divided into orthokeratotic (O-OKCs) and parakeratotic (P-OKCs) types. Clinical features differ between O-OKCs and P-OKCs with P-OKCs having a tendency to recur after surgical treatment. According to the revised histopathological classification of odontogenic tumors by the World Health Organization (2005), the term keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) has been adopted to describe P-OKCs. In this retrospective study, we examined 186 KCOTs treated at the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital from 1981 through 2005. The patients ranged in age from 7 to 85 years (mean, 32.7) and consisted of 93 males and 93 females. The most frequently treated areas were the mandibular molar region and ramus. The majority of KCOTs in the maxillary region were treated by enucleation and primary closure. The majority of KCOTs in the mandibular region were enucleated, and the wound was left open. Marginal resection was performed in the 4 patients with large lesions arising in the mandible. In patients who were followed for more than a year, recurrences were observed in 19 of 120 lesions (15.8%). The recurrences were found at the margins of the primary lesion in contact with the roots of the teeth or at the upper margins of the mandibular ramus. Clinicians should consider aggressive treatment for KCOTs because the recurrence rate of P-OKCs is higher than that of other cyst types such as O-OKCs, dentigerous cysts, primordial cysts that were non-keratinized, and slightly keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Although more aggressive treatment is needed for KCOTs as compared to other cystic lesions, it is difficult to make a precise diagnosis preoperatively on the basis of clinical features and X-ray imaging. Therefore, preoperative biopsy is necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment for patients with cystic lesions.

Gastric cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer death. The majority of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma in China present with advanced disease. Ruling out unresectable cancers from an unnecessary "open" exploration is very important. The aim of this study was to assess the value of five-port anatomical laparoscopic exploration in T4 gastric cancer in comparison with three-port laparoscopic exploration and laparotomy exploration. We conducted a retrospective study on 126 patients with T4 stage scheduled for D2 curative gastrectomy based on computed tomography (CT) staging at Department of Gastric Cancer and Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, from Apr. 2011 to Apr. 2013. Laparotomy exploration (Group I), three-port laparoscopic exploration (Group II) or five-port anatomical laparoscopic exploration (Group III) were performed prior to radical gastrectomy. Accuracy rate for feasibility of D2 curative gastrectomy in laparotomy exploration and five-port anatomical laparoscopic exploration groups was higher than that in the three-port laparoscopic exploration group. Five-port anatomical laparoscopic exploration group had the highest accuracy resection rate (Group I vs Group II vs Group III,92.6% vs78.6% vs 97.7%; p<0.05) and shorter length of hospitalization (Group I vs Group II vs Group III, $9.58{\pm}4.17$ vs $6.13{\pm}2.85$ vs $5.00{\pm}1.81$; p<0.001). Three-port laparoscopic exploration has low accuracy rate for assessing feasibility of D2 curative gastrectomy and five-port anatomical laparoscopic exploration should be performed on patients with T4 gastric cancer.

Objective : The increasing use of sensitive neuroimaging techniques has demonstrated that significant percentage of patients with intractable complex partial seizures have brain masses, especially in temporal lobe. The optimal surgical solution for these patients is still open to debate. The purpose of our investigation is to evaluate the surgical outcome of patient with lesion-related temporal lobe epilepsy with respect to the types of surgery and the location of lesion. Patients and Methods : From DEC. 1993 to Dec. 1997, 35 patients with intractable epilepsy and space occupying temporal lobe lesion identified in preoperative MRI were included in this study. The types of surgery were lesionectomy, anterior temporal lobectomy with or without hippocampectomy. The location of lesion was divided as anteromedial group and lateral cortical group. The postoperative seizure outcomes according to the type of surgery and location of the lesion were compared. Results : Twenty-six of 34 patients(76.5%) were seizure-free after surgery. The Engel's class was favorable after anterior temporal lobectomy with or without hippocampectomy(p=.044) Conclusion : It is favorable to perform anterior temporal lobectomy for the treatment of intractable epilepsy with space-occipying lesion in temporal lobe. The resection of the hippocampus can be individualized.

Background: Iliac artery aneurysm is frequently found in patients undergoing surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The use of commercial bifurcated grafts is insufficient for aorto-biiliac replacement with complete iliac artery aneurysm resection. We evaluated the effectiveness of handmade composite grafts for this purpose. Methods: A total of 233 patients underwent open surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm between 2003 and 2019, including 155 patients (67%) treated with commercial grafts and 78 patients (33%) treated with handmade composite grafts. Their operative characteristics, postoperative outcomes, and late outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The early mortality rate did not differ significantly between the groups. On average, the handmade composite graft technique took approximately 15 minutes longer than the commercial graft technique (p=0.037). Among patients who underwent elective surgery, no significant differences between the conventional and composite groups were observed in the major outcomes, including red blood cell transfusion volume (2.8±4.7 units vs. 3.1±4.7 units, respectively; p=0.680), reoperation for bleeding (2.7% vs. 3.1%, respectively; p>0.999), bowel ischemia (0% vs. 1.6%, respectively; p=0.364), and intensive care unit stay duration (1.9±6.6 days vs. 1.6±2.4 days, respectively; p=0.680). The incidence of target vessel occlusion also did not differ significantly between groups. Conclusion: The increased technical demand involved with handmade composite grafting did not negatively impact the outcomes. This technique may be a viable option because it overcomes problems associated with commercial grafts.

Purpose: Haglund's disease represents a painful heel caused by mechanically induced inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa and insertional Achilles tendinosis may coexist. Traditional open surgery can cause complications such as skin breakdown, painful scar and altered sensation around the heel. Endoscopic treatment offers the advantages that are related to minimally invasive procedure and we evaluate the clinical results and operative techniques of endoscopic decompression of retrocalcaneal space for Haglund's disease. Materials and Methods: Our retrospective study included seven heels in six consecutive patients for which nonoperative treatment had failed and endoscopic decompression was performed. The mean age was forty-one years (range, 28 to 53 years). All of the patients had typical complaints of inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa and Fowler-Philip angle of more than $75^{\circ}$ and positive parallel pitch lines were present on the lateral calcaneal radiograph. The endoscopic procedure consists of the resection of inflamed retrocalcaneal bursa and enough bone to prevent impingement of the bursa between the calcaneus and Achilles tendon. All patients were evaluated with radiologic angle, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and Ogilvie-Harris functional score. The mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 15 to 21 months). Results: The mean operation time was 61 minutes (range, 50 to 85 minutes). VAS for pain and Fowler-Philip angle were decreased from preoperative 8.7 and $82^{\circ}$ to postoperative 2.3 and $57^{\circ}$, respectively. One patient with ankylosing spondylitis had a fair result, 2 patients had good results and the remaining 3 patients had excellent results according to Ogilvie-Harris functional score. There were no surgical complications such as infection, Achilles tendon avulsion or abnormal heel sensation. Conclusion: The endoscopic decompression for Haglund's disease was demonstrated to have several advantages including low morbidity, allowance of functional rehabilitation, short recovery time and quick sports resumption. However a comparative study is needed to determine the value of endoscopic decompression and particular caution should be exerted for the enthesiopathy.

The levator and $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle balanced tucking was performed to correction myogenic or aponeurotic blepharoptosis. Through the blepharoplasty incision, the upper half of tarsal plate was exposed and the orbital was opened to show the levator aponeurosis. the $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle dissected from the upper border of the tarsal plate and from the posteriorly located conjunctiva with sharp scissors. $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle was advanced about 3 mm to 8 mm on anterior surface of the tarsal plate and fixed approximately upper one third of the tarsal plate with three horizontal 6-0 Nylon mattress sutures. The amount of tucking of $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle was controlled by the location of the upper eyelid margin 2 mm below the upper limbus in primary gaze after first temporary fixations suture in the maximum superior point of the limbus. The amount of advancement of levator aponeurosis was controlled by the location of the upper eyelid margin 1 mm below the upper limbus in primary gaze after first temporary fixations suture in the maximum superior point of the limbus. And then levator aponeurosis was fixed with three horizontal 6-0 Nylon mattress on beside the point that was tucked $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle. We have been thirty cases with levator and $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle balanced tucking from January 2004 to Jun 2005. 3 cases were traumatic blepharoptosis with 3-5 mm ptosis and poor levator function. 27 cases were myogenic or aponeurotic blepharoptosis with 2-5 mm ptosis with and more than 4 mm of levator function. the age of the patients ranged from 6 to 78 years. The levator aponeurosis and $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle tucking procedure can reduce the amount of the levator and $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle resection, and improve discomfort when the patients open eyes.
