Between June 1990 and May 1994, 350 laser conization and 200 LEEP were performed. Indications of conization were that directed biopsy specimen was proved CIN II, III or suggests possible microinvasion. In all the cases the procedures were carried out with the patients under local anesthesia. Excisional cone sections(6,600) were evaluated for lesion length,depth and margin status. Invasive cancer was found in 5(1.4%) women of laser group. Operative time was shorter LEEP group than laser group significantly. In laser group, 25(8.3%) women had bleeding that required treatment. One case(0.3%) of pelvic infection and 7 cases(2.3%) of cervical stenosis were observed. In LEEP group, 10(5.3%) women had bleeding, 3(1.6%) patients became cervical stenosis. The diameter of bumed tissue was 0.28mm in laser group and 0.25mm in LEEP group. Success rate were 97.4% in former and 96.3% in later. This study demontrated that CO2 laser conization and LEEP were effective methods for treating high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and added benefit of preserving reproductive function and rule out invasive carcinoma.

The antihypertensive effect and side reactions of perdipine was studied in 22 cases of essential hypertension using 20mg 3 times daily regimen for average period of 5 weeks. 1) Average reduction of 20mmHg in systolic and 17mmhg in diastolic pressure was observed and percentile reduction was 11.90% and 14.92%, respectively. The overall effect rate was 81.82%. The blood pressure lowered significantly after 2 weeks of treatment both in systolic and diastolic pressure. 2) There was no significant change in heart rates before and after treatment. 3) No specific side reaction was observed except 1 case in which discontinued the medication because of severe headache and fatigability on the 1st day of medication.

Since it was first described in 1930 by Wolff, Parkinson and White (W-P-W), the W-P-W syndrome, in its clinical significance, is the occurrence of tachyarrythmia by accessory conduction which may result in chest pain, hypotesion, congestive failure, syncope or sudden death. It still remains one of the most difficult cardiac arrythinias to treat. We experience the successful anesthetic management of 10 patients with W-P-W syndrome for non-cardiac and cardiac surgery from January, 1971 to April, 1987 at Severance hospital. With adequate preoperative management, in spite of their syndrome, all 10 patients tolerated general anesthesia fairly well, and we did not notice any significant changes in their vital signs during the perioperative period, Among the 10 patients, one recently experienced serious case is presented. In the selection of drugs for general anesthesia in cases of W-P-W syndrome, careful consideration should be given to all drugs which affect the conduction system of the heart.

Segmental neurofibromatosis is a rare form of neurofibromatosis that is characterized by neurofibromas and/or café au lait macules, limited to one region of the body. The neurofibromas of segmental neurofibromatosis are most commonly occupied by either a cervical or a thoracic dermatome. Segmental neurofibromatosis on the face is extremely rare, and only 10 cases have been described so far. Herein, we report a case of segmental neurofibromatosis on the V1 dermatome for its rarity and unusual location.

BACKGROUND: Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm affecting apocrine gland-bearing skin which usually occurs in the anogenital area of patients older than 50 years. Although Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is recommended for the treatment of EMPD, wide local excision has also been performed by many other surgeons including dermatosurgeons. However, the extent of an adequate resection margin is still under debate. OBJECTIVE: The efficacy of minimal surgical therapy consisting of a wide excision combined with preoperative multiple scouting biopsies and postoperative topical imiquimod was investigated for the treatment of EMPD in Korean patients. METHODS: Between 2006 and 2012, 10 patients with primary EMPD were treated with wide surgical excision, with a surgical margin of less than 2.5 cm. Multiple preoperative scouting biopsies and postoperative topical imiquimod were also performed to delineate the lesional boundaries and to reduce the recurrence rate. RESULTS: During the 6-year follow-up period, complications and recurrences were not observed. CONCLUSION: Minimal surgical therapy may be an effective alternative when MMS is unavailable.
