A review of 15 patients, who underwent 34 CO2 laser bronchoscopic procedures, over a 2-year period, is presented. All had malignancies of the tracheobronchial tree and underwent laser surgery to palliate breathlessness or haemoptysis. Partially obstructing and more proximal tumours proved more easily manageable. One quarter of the patients required repeat procedures and there were two deaths in the early post-operative period. The indications for such surgery, the technique and its limitations, and the palliation obtained are discussed.
本文回顾了15例患者，他们在两年内接受了34次二氧化碳激光支气管镜检查。所有患者均患有气管支气管树恶性肿瘤，并接受了激光手术以缓解呼吸困难或咯血症状。部分阻塞且位置较近端的肿瘤更容易处理。四分之一的患者需要重复手术，术后早期有两例死亡。本文还讨论了此类手术的适应症、技术及其局限性，以及所获得的缓解效果。
