电子纤维食管镜在食管良性疾病电视胸腔镜手术中的作用

目的：探讨电子纤维食管镜在电视胸腔镜手术治疗食管良性疾病操作中的作用。方法：对38例食管良性疾病患者行电视胸腔镜手术,术中使用电子纤维食管镜协助,进行病变定位、肿物剥离、病变切除及保护食管粘膜等操作。结果：36例患者手术经过顺利,术后恢复平稳,无食管胸膜瘘等严重手术并发及手术死亡病例;2例患者因病情需要中转开胸。结论：在采用电视胸腔镜手术治疗食管良性疾病过程中,合理应用电子纤维食管镜可使手术操作更加准确、安全、可靠、便捷。

Electronic fiberesophagoscopy in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for benign esophageal diseases

Objective To evaluate the effect of electronic fiberesophagoscopy in video assisted thoracoscopic surgery for benign esophageal diseases. Methods We determined the position of lesion, separated the lesion from the esophageal wall, resected the lesion and protected the esophageal mucosa during the process of video assisted thoracoscopic surgery for benign esophageal diseases. Results Thirty six patients with benign esophageal disease underwent the operation successfully and recovered uneventfully. There was no operative death or severe perioperative complications such as esophago pleural fistula. Two patients were changed to undergo thoracotomy. Conclusions Electronic fiberesophagoscopy is an essential equipment in video assisted thoracoscopic surgery for benign esophageal diseases. It should be adopted as a routine equipment to ensure the accuracy, safety, reliability and convenience of this kind of operations.
