We experienced one case of the left ventricular aneurysm. The patient was 44 years old male, who complained of dysarthria and dysphagia due to right cerebellar infarction EKG revealed antero-lateral myocardial infarction, so checked 2-D echo-cardiogram showed the left ventricular aneurysm with the mural thrombus. Aneurysmectomy with removal of thrombi was made for preventing further propagation of the systemic embolization. But CABG was impossible due to fine coronary artery at the portion of myocardial infarction. Mild LCOS was noted but postop course was smooth. During 12 months follow-up period, he lives in good physical activity [MYHA F.C. II /IV] and absence of chest pain.

As of today, the frequency of primary lung cancer is one of the improved problems in modern medicine and is increasing rapidly year by year. This study dealed with 138 cases of primary lung cancer proved by histopathologic examination in Thoracic & Card iovascular Surgery Dept. of N.M.C. from Sept. 1966 through June 1981. The majority of patients belong to 5th and 6th decade. Ratio between male and female was 3.7: 1. Initial symptoms were cough, blood tinged sputum, hemoptysis, chest pain, dyspnea and duration of symptoms before admission was within 6 months [60%] and 12 months [78%]. Histopathologically, 64 cases [61%] of them were the squamous cell carcinoma, 21 cases [15%] were the adenocarcinoma, 20 cases [14.8%] were the anaplastic carcinoma. Fifty-six cases were resectable: 43 cases were subjected to pneumonectomy and 13 cases were to lobectomy. The remaining 82 cases were nonresectable, but exploratory thoracotomy was performed in 22 cases of them. Among 56 resected cases, 33 cases were radically operated and 17 cases were subjected to palliative operation and 6 cases were subjected to extended operation. [Concomitant pericardium resection in 1 case and concomitant chest wall resection in 5 cases]. Surgical mortality was 10.7% and causes of death were aspiration of contralateral lung, respiratory insufficiency, postop. empyema with B.P.F, cardiogenic failure. This study analysed the cancer stage between preop clinical T.N.M. stage and postop. T.N.M. stage in 78 cases; resectable 56 cases and non-resectable 22 cases.

Author made a clinical study of 48 cases of primary mediastinal tumors experienced in the dept. of the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery of Pusan National University Hospital during the 12 years period from march 1978 to march 1989. There were 34 males and 14 females. Their age distribution was from 4 months to 70 years, with the mean age of 34.4 years. 8.3 % of the patients were younger than 15 years old. There were teratoma 14 cases[29%], thymoma 11 cases[23%], neurogenic tumor 10 cases[21 %], lymphoma 6 cases[13 %], benign cyst 6 cases[13 %], and one case of fibrous histiocytoma in the histological distribution. The malignant tumors were 12 cases[25 %]. The common symptoms were chest pain and discomfort[35.4], coughing[18.8], general weakness and dyspnea. 16.7% of the patients were asymptomatic at admission. The successful removal was done in all cases of benign mediastinal tumors. In malignant cases, the surgical removal could be done in 5 cases. There was not postop. mortality. The frequent complications were atelectasis, infection, bleeding.

Since the first report of an operation for prolapsed intervertebral disk by Mixter and Barr[1934], many thousands of operations have been successfully performed without incident. Linton and White in 1945 reported the vascular complication, but perforation of large vessels is rare complication of operation for prolapsed disk. A medical student, aged 22 years, was performed to a disk operation [L4-5, Rt. on May 1977.] From postoperative 10th day, palpitation, generalized edema and substernal pain were noted, and 2 months later, wide pulse pressure [70-80 mmHg], continuous bruit and thrill on the Rt. low abdomen were followed. Aortography revealed arteriovenous fistula between just proximal to abdominal aortic bifurcation and inferior vena cava. So, fistulectomy [Resection of proximal 2 cm of C.I.A., Rt, including fistula opening and end to end anastomosis] was performed on July, 77. During follow up study, remained fistula between Rt. internal lilac artery and lilac vein was found 2 months later. Re-operation [Double ligation of the Rt. internal lilac artery] was don on January 1978. Postop. results were excellent, except impossible to ejaculation.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a sensory restoration in reconstructed breast with free TRAM flap to evaluate recovery aspect and recovery quantity. 144 patients underwent breast reconstruction with free TRAM flap by authors and were followed up at the out patient clinique. We discovered that sensory of operated breast was recoverd. We divide the breast into 5 region (upper medial, lower medial, upper lateral, lower lateral, nipple areolar complex) for examining the sensory restoration. Sense of upper medial region & upper lateral region is recovered more quickly than other region. Touch sensation was recovered more quickly than pain sensation, temperature sensation, vibratory sensation. After about 1 year all protective sensation was recovered in all patient. We discovered that severe postop scar and irradiation of breast is related to delayed sensory recovery, age and size of flap is not related to sensory recovery.

Sixty patients, of ASA physical status class I for elective operations in the lower abdomen, perineum, or lower extremities, were studied in a comparative prospective trial to evaluate the efficacy of epidural morphine and ketamine for postoperative analgesia. They were divided into two groups: an epidural morphine sulfate group (EMS group; 30 patients), and an epidural ketamine hydrochloride group (EKH group; 30 patients). Indwelling epidural catheters were placed in the patients' lumber areas (L3-4) and then all patients were anesthetized with thiopental, nitrous oxide, and halothane. After the patients had fully recovered from the anesthesia, the analgesic agents were administered epidurally via the catheter when the patients complained of pain in the postoperative period. The groups were given either 0.1 mg/kg of morphine sulfate or 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine hydrochloride administered in a volume of 10 ml of normal saline. Patients were observed for the onset and duration of postoperative analgesia and for other effects. Total doses were $5.7{\pm}0.6\;mg$ of morphine sulfate in the EMS group and $27.9{\pm}3.3\;mg$ of ketamine hydrochloride in the EKH group. The onset of analgesia was detectable within 35 min.($23.5{\pm}6.3$ min) in 86.7% (26 cases) of the EMS group and within 10 min. ($7.8{\pm}3.7$ min.) in 76.7% (23 cases) of the EKH group. Mean duration of postoperative analgesia was $22.3{\pm}2.1\;hr$. in the EMS group. In the EKH group, the duration of analgesia was shorter and variable, the range of duration was from 2 hr. to 24 hr., Cardiopulmonary changes were statistically insignificant ih both groups. Side effects such as nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, pruritus, dizziness, and headache were observed in EMS group. In the EKH group, there was no discomfort except dizziness (3 cases) and headache (1 case). Epidural ketamine was a safe technique for postoperative analgesia, but because of the variability and relative shortness in the duration of analgesia the use of this technique will require further clinical trials.

서론: 대퇴골 근위부에 발생하는 종양은 양성일지라도 수술적 병변의 제거시 관절내 도달이 필요하거나 대퇴골 경부에 손상을 줄 수 있는 등 주위 고관절의 구조 및 기능을 위협할 수 있어 그 예후가 좋지 않을 수 있고 치료에 어려움이 있으나 고관절부의 동통을 유발하는 양성 골종양의 치료는 비관혈적 수술이 현재로는 거의 불가능하다. 최근 CT등을 이용한 경피적 절제술, 경피적 고주파 열치료등 비교적 덜 침습적인 치료법에 대한 관심과 연구가 증가하고 있으나, 아직까지는 대퇴골 근위부 종양중 비교적 흔한 유골골종(osteoid osteoma)에 국한된 연구가 대부분이다. 이에 저자는 대퇴골두내 발생한 내연골종 및 피질골내 연골종을 경피적 고주파 열치료를 통해 치료한 후 이를 보고하는 바이다. 증례: -증례1 - 31세 여자환자로 1년 전부터 시작된 우측 둔부 및 서혜부 외측의 통증을 주소로 내원하였다. 사무직 여성으로 과거력 및 가족력 상 특이 소견 없었으며 통증의 양상은 간헐적으로 야간에 심해지는 양상으로 통증 발현 시에는 체중 부하하기 힘든 정도였다. 통증에 대해 수개월간 대증적 치료를 시행하였으나 수일에서 수주 후 재발되는 양상이었으며 비스테로이드성 소염 진통제에 비교적 효과가 있었으나 내원 시에는 증상이 점차 심해지며 지속적인 양상으로 소염진통제가 계속적으로 필요하였다. 이학적 소견상 우측 고관절의 운동제한은 없었으나 Patrick 검사 양성이었으며 내회전시 불쾌감을 호소하였다. 단순 방사선 검사상 우측 대퇴 골두 부위에 주변으로 경화상을 보이는 방사선 투과성 병변이 관찰되었으며, MRI상 T1WI와 T2WI에서 낮은 신호강도를 보이면서 1.5${\times}$1cm 크기로 경계가 비교적 분명하였고 주변에 반응성 부종이 관찰되어. 유골골종의 가능성이 큰 것으로 보아 고주파열치료를 시행하기로 하였으며 전신마취하에서 먼저 CT시행 하에 세침 생검을 실시한 후 Radionics$^{(R)}$ 고주파침을 삽입하여 병변 중앙에 위치시킨 후 $80^{\circ}C$ 평균모드으로 6분간 고주파 열 치료 시행하였으며 시행 중 다른 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 환자는 마취에서 의식이 돌아온 직후와 술 후 14시간 후에 통증 전혀 호소하지 않았으며 술후 1일째 체중 부하시 통증 없는 것 확인 후 퇴원 조치 하였으며 술 후 3주 뒤 MRI로 병변 부위 관찰하였으며, 이때 병변부위 소실된 것 확인할 수 있었다. 술 후 15개월째 환자는 일상 생활에 지장없었으며 통증 호소하지 않았다. 조직 검사결과는 피질골내 연골종으로 확인되었다. -증례 2- 56세 여자환자로 3개월 전부터 시작된 좌측 둔부 및 대퇴부 외측의 통증을 주소로 내원하였다. 통증은 주로 밤에 악화되었으며 1달 전부터 통증 심해지고 지속되는 양상으로 타 병원에서 아스피린으로 통증 조절되었고 유골 골종 의심 하에 본원으로 전원되었다. 과거력이나 가족력상 특이사항 없었으며 이학적 검사상 고관절 운동 범위 제한은 없었으나 외전과 내회전시 좌측 서혜부에 통증을 호소하였다. 단순 방사선 소견상 좌측 대퇴골두 하방 내측으로 석회화를 동반하고 주변 경화상을 보이는 방사선 투과성 병변이 관찰되었으며 MRI상 T1WI와 T2WI에서 비교적 낮은 신호강도를 보이는 양상으로, 유골골종의 가능성이 높은 것으로 보아 고주파 열치료를 시행하기로 하였으며 전신 마취 후 CT시행 하에 먼저 세침 조직 검사를 실시한 후 Radionics$^{(R)}$ 고주파침 삽입 후에 평균 모드 $80^{\circ}C$로 6분간 열 치료 시행하였고 환자는 마취에서 회복 후 즉시 통증 감소 보였으며 시술 후 1일째 이학적 검사 및 체중 부하 시행하였을 때 통증이 없는 것을 확인한 후 퇴원 조치 할 수 있었으며 술 후 1달째 MRI검사를 통해 병변이 사라지고 성공적으로 시술을 시행하였음을 확인할 수 있었으며 이후 시술 3개월째로 통증호소없었고 이학적소견상 정상이었다. 조직검사결과는 내연골종으로 확인되었다. 결론: 저자들은 수술적으로 치료가 비교적 어려운 대퇴 골두 부위에 발생한 피질골내 연골종과 내연골종에 대해 경피적 고주파열치료를 시행한 후 이를 보고하는 바이며 동통을 유발하는 유골 골종 이외의 다른 양성골 종양에 대해 치료 계획시 그 도달이 어렵거나 술 후 주위 구조물과 관절의 불안정성등의 합병증이 유발될 수 있는 경우 그 적응증의 확대를 신중히 고려해야 할 것이다.
