Adverse events of NOTES mediastinoscopy compared to conventional video-assisted mediastinoscopy: a randomized survival study in a porcine model
BACKGROUND Safety is a concern in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) mediastinoscopy. The objective of this study was to compare the safety of NOTES mediastinoscopy with video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM). METHODS Twenty-four pigs were randomly assigned to NOTES or VAM. Thirty-minute mediastinoscopies were performed with the identification of seven predetermined structu...

متن کاملMediastinoscopy as a standardised procedure for mediastinal lymph node staging in non-small cell lung carcinoma.
Staging is an essential part of the work-up of a patient presenting with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is impossible to decide which treatment is appropriate for an individual patient without information regarding tumor extension, regional lymph node metastases and distant metastases. The ability to assess mediastinal involvement is important since the presence of pathologic mediastina...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of computed tomography and mediastinoscopy in mediastinal lymph node staging.
Precise mediastinal lymph node (LN) staging is imperative in otherwise operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as it determines subsequent treatment and possible inclusion in a neoadjuvant trial. The roles of mediastinoscopy and computed tomography (CT) remain controversial. To determine the accuracy of current CT scanners, a prospective study was performed. From April 1993 until September...
متن کاملA retrospective study about 140 mediastinal lymphadenectasis patients receiving video - assisted mediastinoscopy
This study aimed to provide theoretical bases for choosing examination methods onpatients with mediastinal lymphadenectasis. The clinical characteristics of 140 patients with unexplained mediastinal lymphadenectasis who received video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) were reviewed retrospectively. The relationship between various factors and pathological results of mediastinal lymphadenectasis wa...
