Mediastinal lymph node dissection is an important part of lung cancer surgery that provides accurate nodal staging and may improve survival outcomes. The minimally invasive approach, such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, has become a standard operation worldwide. VATS mediastinal lymph node dissection should be thorough and accurate to ensure the completeness of lung cancer surgery. Herein, the author describes techniques for VATS mediastinal lymph node dissection.
纵隔淋巴结清扫是肺癌手术的重要组成部分,可提供准确的淋巴结分期,并可能改善生存结果。对于非小细胞肺癌患者,微创方法,如电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)肺叶切除术,已成为全球标准手术。VATS纵隔淋巴结清扫应彻底、准确,以确保肺癌手术的完整性。在此,作者描述了VATS纵隔淋巴结清扫的技术。
