Abstract

The role of thoracoscopy for the management of intrathoracic diseases has expanded with advancement in endoscopic instrumentation and technology. We report a case of thoracoscopic transdiaphragmatic biopsy of an adrenal gland for metastatic carcinoma. The procedure was uncomplicated and the patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. The morbidity of traditional approaches for adrenal operation was avoided. Thoracoscopy may be a useful approach in selected patients for adrenal operation.

摘要

随着内镜器械和技术的进步，胸腔镜在胸内疾病治疗中的作用不断扩大。我们报告一例通过胸腔镜经膈肌对肾上腺进行转移性癌活检的病例。手术过程顺利，患者术后第二天出院。避免了传统肾上腺手术方法带来的并发症。胸腔镜对于某些适合的肾上腺手术患者可能是一种有用的方法。
