食管结核的电视胸腔镜诊断与治疗(附8例报告)

目的评价电视胸腔镜在食管结核诊断与治疗中的价值. 方法 1996年6月～2004年4月我院应用电视胸腔镜手术和快速病理检查诊治食管结核8例. 结果 8例均被确诊为继发性食管结核,其中6例术前被误诊为食管肿瘤.淋巴结核切除5例,病灶清除3例.手术时间30～50 min,平均45 min.术中出血量50～100 ml,平均80 ml.术后胸腔积液2例,切口感染1例.7例随访5 ～27个月,平均15个月,吞咽困难缓解,无复发. 结论电视胸腔镜联合快速病理检查对继发性食管结核诊治快速、准确、安全,创伤小, 出血少,疗效满意.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic diagnosis and treatment for esophageal tuberculosis: A report of 8 cases

Objective To evaluate the role of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal tuberculosis. Methods We had conducted video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and acute pathological examinations for diagnosing and treating esophageal tuberculosis in 8 patients from June 1996 to April 2004. Results All the 8 patents were clarified as having secondary esophageal tuberculosis (Six of them had been misdiagnosed as having esophageal tumors preoperatively). A lymphoidectomy was carried out in 5 patents and a focus debridement, in 3 patents. The duration of procedure was 30~50 min (mean, 45 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 50~100 ml (mean, 80 ml). Postoperatively, pleural effusion occurred in 2 patients and wound infection took place in 1. Follow-up for 5~27 months (mean, 15 months) in 7 patients revealed a remarkable relief of dysphagia and no recurrence. Conclusions VATS in combination with acute pathological examinations is a rapid, safe, accurate and minimally invasive alternative for the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal tuberculosis.
