为探讨电视胸腔镜手术 (VATS)在纵隔肿瘤诊断和治疗中的价值 ,从 1998年 4月至 2 0 0 0年 6月为 16例纵隔肿瘤患者进行了 VATS。均获成功 ,6例辅助小切口 ,无手术死亡和围术期并发症。肿瘤切除病例随访 4～ 2 2个月无复发。结果提示 :VATS是诊断和治疗纵隔肿瘤的一种新的微创外科方法 ,尤其适用于中。

To evaluate the role of video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal neoplasms, from April 1998 to June 2000, 16 patients with mediastinal neoplasms underwent VATS. The preliminary results were promising. There were no postoperative death and complications. Short term follow up (ranging from 4 to 22 months) showed no recurrence. It was suggested that VATS mihgt be a new and useful approach in the diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal neoplasms, espicially for benign and cystic tumors in the middle and posterior mediastinum.
