胸腔镜在食管良性疾病中的应用

Thoracoscopic Surgery in Benign Esophageal Diseases

本组应用电视胸腔镜（Ｖｉｄｅｏｔｈｏｒａｃｏｓｃｏｐｙ，ＶＡＴＳ）为１２例食管良性疾病（食管平滑肌瘤、 食管憩室、贲门失弛缓症）患者施行了手术治疗。吞咽困难和胸骨后疼痛是三种疾病的主要症状。 而疼痛并不是疾病本身造成，是由于返流性食管疾病及女管运动紊乱所致。对于某些症状较轻的 病人，采用开胸手术的方法，其手术本身会给病人造成更大的伤害。的腔镜不但可以避免开胸创 伤的损害．而且可以在得良好的手术效果。本组无手术死亡及并发症。

Twelve videothoracoscopic operations for benign esophageal diseases (4 esophageal leiomyoma, 5 esophageal diverticulam, 3 esophageal achalasia) were performed in this hospital. The results were satisfactory and no complications were found. The advantages of the thoracoscopic operations are similar effective, easier to perform and less damaging than the regular open chest procedures.
