The authors have analysed the diagnostics, clinical course and surgical measures in mediastinal neoplasms in 196 patients from 4 months to 72 years of age. Operations were performed in 84.7% of the patients, lethality was 1.8%. Postoperative complications were noted in 4.6% of the patients. The authors find it expedient to remove small mediastinal new formations in patients with an asymptomatic clinical course of the disease due to the danger of their future growth and resulting problems concerned with their excision. A detailed examination and surgical treatment of such patients should be performed in thoracal departments.
作者分析了196例年龄从4个月至72岁的纵隔肿瘤患者的诊断、临床病程及外科治疗措施。84.7%的患者接受了手术，死亡率为1.8%。4.6%的患者出现术后并发症。作者认为，鉴于无症状病程的纵隔小新生物有未来生长及后续切除相关问题的风险，对这类患者切除小纵隔新生物是适宜的。此类患者应在胸外科进行详细检查及手术治疗。
