A new technique to obtain biopsy specimens from the pelvic lymph nodes is presented. A mediastinoscope introduced through a small incision in the abdominal wall allows the identification of the pelvic nodes. A series of 12 patients with prostatic or bladder carcinoma is presented and the feasibility of the method is documented. There was no morbidity associated with the endoscopic node biopsy. Suggestions for modification of the instrument are made. The method is now under further scrutiny to establish its place among other available methods to study lymphogenous spread of pelvic malignancies.
本文介绍了一种获取盆腔淋巴结活检标本的新技术。通过腹壁小切口插入纵隔镜可识别盆腔淋巴结。本文报告了12例前列腺癌或膀胱癌患者，并证明了该方法的可行性。内镜下淋巴结活检未出现并发症。文中还提出了对该器械进行改进的建议。目前该方法正在接受进一步审查，以确定其在研究盆腔恶性肿瘤淋巴源性扩散的其他现有方法中的地位。
