Clinical application progress of video mediastinoscopy

纵隔镜是一种敏感性、特异性均很高的有创检查方法，在肺癌分期与纵隔疾病的诊断中显示出不可替代的作用。而电视纵隔镜的应用，大大提高这一技术的可视性、操作舒适性和灵活性，并拓展了手术上的适用性。电视纵隔镜已逐渐替代传统的纵隔镜。

Mediastinoscopy is an invasive method with very high sensitivity and specificity, which has an unreplaceble role in diagnosis of indeterminate mediastinal masses and staging of lung neoplasms. Video mediastinoscopy provides optimal visualization of mediastinal structure and the possibility for the surgeon to operate with both hands. And more operation can be performed by video mediastinoscopy. Now video mediastinoscopy has been replacing traditional mediastinoscopy gradually.
