Mediastinoscopy is often necessary in management of lung cancer. Progress recently achieved in the field of thoracoscopy has led us to introduce videothoracoscopy as a complement to mediastinoscopy in preoperative management of such tumors. From June 1994 to June 1995, 113 patients presenting with stage I-IIIA lung cancer underwent a videothoracoscopy before surgery. No side-effects were observed. Results obtained in this study lead us to conclude that videothoracoscopy is useful before surgery of lung cancer.
纵隔镜检查在肺癌的治疗中常常是必要的。近年来胸腔镜领域取得的进展促使我们引入电视胸腔镜作为纵隔镜检查的补充手段，用于此类肿瘤的术前治疗。1994年6月至1995年6月，113例I-IIIA期肺癌患者在手术前行电视胸腔镜检查。未观察到副作用。本研究获得的结果使我们得出结论，电视胸腔镜检查在肺癌手术前是有用的。
