1.Spontaneous Rupture of the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis and Radial Collateral Ligament of the Elbow in a Recreational Golfer: Surgical Experience of Repair of a Chronic Retracted Tendon and Ligament.

Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow 2016;19(1):39-42
Lateral epicondylitis with rupture of the radial collateral ligament of the elbow has not been reported in the literature. We report on a case of a recreational golfer who had not received steroid injection and had no trauma history. The patient was treated with open surgical repair. At 2 years follow-up, satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes were observed with return to pre-injury level. The authors report this case and review the literature.

Korean Journal of Gynecologic Oncology and Colposcopy 1995;6(3):214-217
We experienced a huge ovarian tumor of 16kg, measured 29 x 25 x 30cm in 85 years old woman. Pathologic diagnosis was mucinous cystadenoma, borderline malignancy of right ovary. We present this case with brief review of literatures.

9.Tentative Results of Balloon Dilatation of the Pulmonary Valves.
Korean Circulation Journal 2000;30(6):745-750
BACKGROUND: Until now, the total correction of tetralogy of Fallot has remained controversial and the efficacy of balloon dilatation of the pulmonary valves in tetralogy of Fallot has not been confirmed. We tried balloon dilatation of the pulmonary valves in 9 patients with tetralogy of Fallot to evaluate its effect on oxygen saturation and pulmonary arterial growth. METHOD: In nine patients with tetralogy of Fallot was undergone balloon dilatation since 1992 until August in 1999. Before starting the procedure, we measured the diameters of the pulmonary annulus, both pulmonary arteries and descending aorta. Systemic oxygen saturation and shunt amount were also measured before and after the procedure and systemic oxygen saturation two months later. RESULTS: The mean value of the pulmonary annulus diameters was 5.36+/-1.12 mm and their z value was -4.0+/-1.4. The systemic oxygen saturation increased from a mean value of 64.0+/-19.6% to 82.4+/-8.4% right after the balloon dilatation and 82.0+/-7.9% two months later. McGoon ratio increased from a mean value of 1.66+/-0.33 before the procedure to 1.91+/-0.37 two months later. The mean value of shunt amount(Qp/Qs) was 0.52 before the procedure and 0.84 immediately after the procedure. Furthermore, there occurred no significant complication during and after the procedure. CONCLUSION: The balloon dilatation of the pulmonary valves in tetralogy of Fallot seems relatively safe and produces an immediate effect on cyanosis. And the procedure improves the growth of pulmonary arteries. However, further research and evaluation are needed.

10.Surgical Approach to Colorectal Cancer.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2002;45(7):823-832
Colorectal cancer is treated primarily by surgery. The goal of surgery is to completely remove the tumor. Surgery for carcinoma of the colon is aimed at removing the tumors with an adequate margin by a wide excision of the tumor-bearing area and associated lymphatics, with attention to the blood supply to the segment and creation of anastomosis without tension. Both rectal and colon cancers are resected for the purpose of cure and prevention of spread and local or pelvic recurrence. The operations generally employed for cancers above the rectum include right colectomy, transverse colectomy, left colectomy, anterior resection, subtotal colectomy, and total colectomy. More limited resections are occasionally performed for palliation in patients with distant metastasis. The survival benefits from the no-touch technique and radical lymphadenectomy with high ligation are still controversial. In rectal cancer, 2 ㎝ is sufficient for the distal resection margin. Several reports have demonstrated improvement in local recurrence rates and cancer-specific survival rate through TME (total mesorectal excision). The technique of chemosensitized irradiation was successful in down staging the tumors and in reducing the tumor size. Preoperative chemoradiation therapy and coloanal anastomosis enables the sphincter-preserving operation more frequently. The rectum, genitourinary structures, and the pelvic autonomic nervous system are very closely related. The urinary and sexual function can be preserved by nerve-sparing operation for rectal cancer. The anorectal function might be improved by colonic pouch operation. Transanal excision or trananal endoscopic microsurgery are advocated for the definitive treatment of small, exophytic, well differentiated, mobile lesions. Resection of hepatic or pulmonary metastasis in cases with-out contraindications improves the survival.
