노동섭,조현민,이찬규,김선희,여광희 대한외상중환자외과학회 2017 Journal of Acute Care Surgery Vol.7 No.2

An ischemia-reperfusion injury of the intestine due to blunt trauma is very rare. Low blood flow can result in an incarceration and an ischemia-reperfusion injury of the small intestine. A 63-year-old woman fell, producing a splenic rupture. Despite the successful angio-embolization of the splenic rupture, the patient continued to suffer from hypotension. During laparotomy to identify the bowel injury, no intestinal perforation was found. However, we found a hemorrhagic infarction of the small intestine with congestion of the submucosal blood vessels. The part of bowel with the hemorrhagic infarction was resected and reconstructed with a jejuno-colic anastomosis. After surgery, she recovered from the trauma and was discharged without complications. We present this ischemia-reperfusion injury of the intestine due to blunt trauma. Meticulous examination and computed tomography scan is mandatory for diagnosis and assessment of treatment outcome. (J Acute Care Surg 2017;7:83-86)

Outcomes of Contralateral Bullae in Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

노동섭,금동윤,박창권 대한흉부외과학회 2015 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.48 No.6

Background: The management of contralateral bullae incidentally found in radiological studies is controversial, largely due to the unpredictability of the natural course of incidentally found contralateral bullae. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the contralateral occurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), and to characterize the outcomes of contralateral bullae incidentally found in radiological studies. Methods: From January 2005 to December 2008, 285 patients were admitted to our institution for PSP, and the patients underwent follow- up until August 2012. The relationships between the following variables and contralateral pneumothorax occurrence were evaluated: age, sex, smoking history, body mass index, ipsilateral recurrence, ipsilateral bullae size, the number of ipsilateral bullae, contralateral bullae size, and the number of contralateral bullae. Results: The study group consisted of 233 males and 29 females. The mean age and mean body index of the patients were 23.85± 9.50 years and 19.63±2.50 kg/m2. Contralateral PSP occurred in 26 patients. The five-year contralateral PSP occurrence- free survival rate was 64.3% in patients in whom contralateral bullae were found. Conclusion: The occurrence of contralateral PSP was associated with younger age, ipsilateral recurrence, and the presence of contralateral bullae. Contralateral PSP occurrence was more common in young patients and patients with recurrent PSP. Single-stage bilateral surgery should be considered if an operation is needed in young patients, patients with recurrent pneumothorax, and patients with contralateral bullae.

노동섭,박남희,김재범,김형태,윤경찬,최세영 대한흉부외과학회 2007 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.40 No.12

무명동맥은 길이가 짧고 가슴 골격에 의해 보호되기 때문에 외상에 의한 무명동맥의 파열은 드문 질환으로 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 자동차 사고로 내원한 25세 남자로 흉부 전산화 단층촬영 및 혈관 조영술로 무명동맥 파열이 진단되어 우측 쇄골하 절개를 동반한 정중 흉골 절개술을 이용하여 응급 수술을 시행하였다. 다른 동반 손상이 많아 인공 심폐기를 사용하지 않고 수술을 하였으며, 손상은 무명동맥의 중위부부터 우측 쇄골하 동맥 및 총경동맥의 기시부까지 약 3 cm 정도로 동맥 내막까지 완전히 찢어져 있었다. 복제정맥을 이용하여 첩포 혈관 성형술을 시행하였으며, 수술 후 환자는 별 다른 이상 없이 외래 추적 관찰 중이다.

수부 다한증에서 제4번 늑골 위 교감신경절단술(R4)의 효과

노동섭,박창권,금동윤,김재범 대한흉부외과학회 2008 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.41 No.3

Background:Thoracoscpic sympathicotomy is an effective treatment for essential hyperhidrosis. Patients are generally satisfied with the surgery at the early post operative period, but they suffer from recurrence and compensatory sweating at the late post operative period. There are many sympathicotomy methods for minimizing recurrence and the compensatory sweating. We compared the outcome from between the R3 and R4 sympathicotomy methods for the symptoms, satisfaction, recurrence and compensatory sweating. Material and Method: From January 1999 to July 2007, 39 cases of thoracoscopic sympathicotomy at the 3rd rib (R3) and 72 cases of thoracoscopic sympathicotomy at the 4th rib (R4) for treating palmar hyperhidrosis were compared for the early and late satisfaction, the compensatory sweating and recurrence. Result: There is no difference of gender and age for the 2 groups. Early satisfaction was reported by 94.9% of the R3 patients and by 98.7% of the R4 patients. 84.6% of the R3 patients reported late satisfaction and 87.5% of the R4 patients reported late satisfaction. There were no significant differences between the groups for the early and late satisfaction. But there was a difference between the groups for compensatory sweating (23.1% in the R3 group and 9.7% in the R4 group (p=0.020)). The reoperation rate due to recurrence was 5.1% in the R3 group and 4.2% in the R4 group. There was no significant difference between the groups for recurrence. Conclusion: R4 sympathicotomy has excellent therapeutic results for compensatory sweating as compared to R3 sympathicotomy for treating palmar hyperhidrosis.

Outcomes of open neck injuries

노동섭,Choi Jin Ho 대한외상학회 2022 大韓外傷學會誌 Vol.35 No.3

Purpose: The neck is a particularly critical region for penetrating injuries due to the close proximity of the trachea, esophagus, blood vessels, and the spinal cord. An open neck injury has the potential for serious morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the assessment and management of open neck injuries. Methods: In this retrospective study, open neck injury patients who were admitted to NAME University Hospital Trauma Center between December 2015 and December 2017 were analyzed for epidemiology, the mechanism of trauma, the injured organ, complications, and mortality. Results: Thirty-two patients presented with open neck injuries. All patients underwent computed tomographic angiography to evaluate their injuries once their vital signs stabilized. Among these patients, 27 required surgical treatment. The most commonly injured organ was the airway. There were five deaths, and the main cause of death was bleeding. Mortality was associated with the initial systolic blood pressure at the hospital and Glasgow Coma Scale. Conclusions: Mortality from open neck injuries was associated with initial systolic blood pressure at the hospital and Glasgow Coma Scale.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome after Viscum album Pleurodesis for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

노동섭,박준석,이두연 대한흉부외과학회 2017 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.50 No.1

A 52-year-old male patient who underwent multiple wedge resections experienced postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome in both lungs after Viscum album pleurodesis. Despite initial rapid deterioration in clinical condition and rapid progression of bilateral lung infiltration, he exhibited a relatively smooth clinical recovery with marked response to glucocorticoid treatment. Our case report suggests that care must be taken to guard against the development of acute respiratory complications in the use of Viscum album for pleurodesis. However, in view of the clinically benign course, initial aggressive management of complications can prevent suffering and sequelae.

Concomitant Avulsion Injury of the Subclavian Vessels and the Main Bronchus Caused by Blunt Trauma

노동섭,이찬규,황정주,조현민 대한흉부외과학회 2018 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.51 No.2

Concomitant rupture of the subclavian vessels and the left main bronchus caused by blunt trauma is a serious condition. Moreover, the diagnosis of a tracheobronchial injury with rupture of the subclavian vessels can be difficult. This report describes the case of a 33-year-old man who suffered from blunt trauma that resulted in the rupture of the left subclavian artery and vein. The patient underwent an operation for vascular control. O n postoperative day 3, t he l eft main b ronchus w as f ound to b e transected o n a computed t omography scan and bronchoscopy. The transected bronchus was anastomosed in an end-to-end fashion. He recovered without any notable problems. Although the bronchial injury was not detected early, this case of concomitant rupture of the great vessels and the airway was successfully treated after applying extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Background: Benign tumors of the esophagus are rare. They include leiomyomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, neurofibromas and lipomas. In this study we present our experience with enucleation of these 13 tumors for 10 years. Material and Method: A retrospective review of patients who underwent enucleation of benign esophageal tumors between 1995 and 2005 was conducted. Symptom, tumor location and size, operative approach and outcomes after surgery were recorded. Result Thirteen patients were identified(leiomyoma: n=12; GIST n=l). Eight patients were men, five patients were women. Most of them were 4rd and 5th decade. The tumors arose in the lower(7 patients) and middle(6 patients) thirds of the esophagus. Eleven patients underwent a thoracotomy; the remainder were resected using VATS. All of patients underwent simple enucleation. There were no complications and recurrences after surgery. Conclusion: We present our experience with enucleation of these 12 leiomyomas and one GIST for 10 years.

The Management of Delayed Post-Pneumonectomy Broncho-Pleural Fistula and Esophago-Pleural Fistula

노동섭,박창권 대한흉부외과학회 2016 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.49 No.2

Broncho-pleural fistula (BPF) and esophago-pleural fistula (EPF) after pulmonary resection are challenging to manage. BPF is controlled by irrigation and sterilization, but such therapy is not sufficient to promote closure of EPF, which usually requires surgical management. However, it is generally difficult to select an appropriate surgical method for closure of BPF and EPF. Here, we report a case of concomitant BPF and EPF after left completion pneumonectomy, in which both fistulas were closed through a right thoracotomy.
