Direct diagnostic thoracoscopy under general anesthesia using the mediastinoscope or bronchoscope has been done in 40 patients. No deaths or serious morbidity occurred. We recommend the use of this technique when other efforts fail to establish a diagnosis in patients with pleural disease.
40例患者在全身麻醉下使用纵隔镜或支气管镜进行了直接诊断性胸腔镜检查。未发生死亡或严重并发症。我们建议,当其他方法无法对胸膜疾病患者进行诊断时,采用这项技术。
