Abstract
Thoracoscopic surgery was performed in 5 patients with mediastinal tumors. 2 men and 3 women, aged 29 to 78 years, (mean 51 years). Two patients had cystic tumors and 3 had solid tumors. One tumor was located in the superior mediastinum, 3 in the posterior mediastinum and 1 in the middle mediastinum. The average operation time was 112 minutes and the average bleeding volume was only 20 ml. The average duration of pleural drainage was 1.6 days and that of postoperative hospitalization was 6.3 days in 4 patients, (19 days in the 5th). Thoracoscopic resection for mediastinal tumors is a minimally invasive and effective procedure.<BR>Following these experiences, preoperative images and operative impressions in 57 patients with benign mediastinal tumor from among patients with 121 mediastinal tumors operated on in our department during the past 13 years were analyzed to determine whether they would have been suitable candidates for thoracoscopic resection. The results of this study suggest that 68.8% of cystic tumors and 65.0% of neurogenic tumors were suitable candidates. We suggest that recent advances in operative techniques and instrumentation should permit the expansion of indications for thoracoscopic surgery.
