Replantation*

During the last 18 years only a small number of successful replantation of lower extremities severed by trauma have been reported. In this paper we report the first successful case of replantation of completely amputated thigh In Korean literature. A 31-year-old man was admitted to Kyung Hee Unlversity Hospital on February 27th 1976, approximately 1 hour after accident in which the left thigh was completely amputated 15 cm above the knee joint. Circulation was restored 6 hours after amputation through anastomosis of the femoral vein, artery, great saphenous vein, profunda femoris artery and vein. The continuity of sciatic nerve was reestablished by secondary furnicular suture 7 week after injury. About 4 years and 7 months after injury the patient could walk without pain and returned to his occupation. Thre was a almost complete return of motor and sensory function of the posterior tibial nerve.

In 1980, Franklin was reported deltoid sensory flap for the one-stage reconstruction of large soft tissue injuries and restoration of protective sensation on the hand or weight bearing ares. The deltoid sensory flaps were performed in 8 cases at the Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine from July, 1984 to June, 1986. The results were as followings : l. A one-stage reconstruction of large soft tissue injuries was done with a deltoid sensory flap. 2. The protective sensation was restored. 3. The primary closure of the donor sites was feasible, and no limitation of motion of the shoulder was remained. In conclusion, the advantage of deltoid sensory flap exceed the any methods that have been employed in the sense of functional and plastic aspects.

Correction and stabilization for deformed feet were performed on 372 feet in 309 patients under 17 years old age at the Sam Yook Rehabilitation Center. Review of statistics, technical problems, and complications has led to followings :1. Cerebral palsy and residual poliomyelitis were the most common etiology. 2. Equinovarus deformity and its conjoined cavus deformity were the most common deformity. 3. In soft tissue surgery, tendo calcaneus lengthening was the most common procedure, and next, plantar fasciotomy. 4. In bone surgery, triple arthrodesis was the most common procedure, especially Ryerson technique. 5. Almost patients impraved their stand and gait pattern by operation.

Authors experienced a case of human infection with Anisakis sp. in left tonsil. The case was 27 year Korean female who visited Department of Otolaryngology, Severance Hospital with the chief complaints of swollowing difficulty, and the sensation of a foreign body in the throat, on November 20th 1968. Physical examination of the oral cavity revealed that both palatin tonsil were chronically enlarged. A larval worm was found in crypt of the upper portion of the left palatin tonsil. Chief complaints of the patient was improved after removal of it by forceps. The greyish white living worm was fixed in lactophenol solution for morphological study. The worm measured 36 mm in length by 0.6 mm in width, 2.4 mm in esophageal length, 1.4 mm in ventricule, 0.1 mm in tail length, and 0.025 mm in caudal spine length, respectively and histological study was carried out from the serial section of the larva which was stained with hematoxylin eosin. Authors identified that the larva was Anisakis species.

Extraskeletal Neoplasm Resembling Ewings Sarcoma was firstly reported with comprehensive review of 39 cases by L. Angervall and F.M. Enzinger in 1975. The tumors chiefly affected young adults and most commonly involved the soft tissue of lower extremity. Microscopically, they were consisted of solidly packed small, round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets or lobules, which were indistinguishable from those of the Ewings sarcoma of bone. The authors recently experienced a soft tissue sarcoma occurring in deltoid area of young male patient, which was diagnosed extraskeletal neoplasm resembling Ewings sarcoma. The case review is presented.
