"No-incision" bladder neck suspension, Gittes` operation, is a simple & effective technique among the various surgical technique. But occasionally patients was complained of long - term urinary retention and voiding difficulty after operation because or excessive traction of the nylon suture. We prevented them using chain cystourethrogram intraoperatively. This operation was performed under the spinal anesthesia which the patients can do the Valsalva maneuver during operation. Posterior urethrovesical angle was not significantly different between preoperative & intraoperative chain cystourethrogram. We corrected wide posterior urethrovesical angle to about 100 (mean angle of the normal range). Normal voiding after catheter removal & duration of admission was signiricantly decreased in intraoperative chain cystourethroram group(p<0.05). During 11 months follow-up, overall cure rate was 84.6% without long-term postoperatively voiding difficulty. We concluded that intraoperative chain cystourethrogram was useful methods for good results.

There have been several reports that nasal bone fractures are inadequately managed. They are probably due to poor understanding of the pathophysiology of nasal bone fracture and absence of the accurate diagnostic method. And there has been little adequate comprehensive classification of nasal bone fracture and nasal septal fracture. We examed 132 patients sustaining nasal bone fracture using computerized tomography. Fracture line, deviation, depression, associated skeletal deformities and the nasal septum were clearly identified. We compared our results with Murray & Maran's classification of nasal bone fracture. We found that they revealed almost same results and computerized tomography was good method for diagnosis of nasal septal fracture. The computerized tomography will be helpful for accurate diagnosis and preperative planning of the correction of nasal bone and septal fracture.

Hemorrhagic shock is one of the most common causes of death in patients with multiple trauma and therefore rapid control of bleeding is the main strategy to save these patients. Resuscitative balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been applied in several trauma cases and because of the effectiveness of this procedure it has been adopted in the trauma field. Herein, we report the first successful case of REBOA in Korea performed on a 46-year-old man with hemorrhagic shock after a fall from a height of 14-stories. The patient visited our hospital emergency room with hypovolemic shock, we performed Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta under bed side blind technique. His vital sign was stabilized after procedure, then we could performed endovascular bleeding control. The patient was discharged on his 33rd in-hospital day without invasive procedure and major scar.

At twenty two year old female with nevus comedonicus and an increased tendency to form keloids is described. Although example of successful treatment of nevus comedonicus are readily found in the literature none propose reasonable therapeutic models for keloid formers. As our patient clearly demonstrated this tendency. We initated a t,rial with the carbon dioxide laser due to it's ability to cause less thermal damage. Subsequent to completion of this t,rial, the lesion has imprcived with the acceptable cosmetic results and less comedogenic activity.
