Abstract

Mediastinoscopy is a common procedure used for the diagnosis of thoracic disease and the staging of lung cancer. In order to determine the current role of mediastinoscopy in the evaluation of thoracic disease, we retrospectively reviewed all medistinoscopies performed in our section between 2001-2002. Of the 50 mediastinoscopies performed a total of 40 patients underwent mediastinoscopy for known or suspected lung cancer. In 10 of these patients, N2 or N3 disease was identified. The remaining 30 had no evidence of metastatic disease. Of these patients 21 had lung cancer. Only 2 of the patients with lung cancer were found N2 disease at exploration. Among the 30 patients with a negative mediastinoscopy, 2 patients underwent resection of a nonbronchogenic malignancy, and 4 had resections of benign lesion. 10 of these 50 patients underwent mediastinoscopy for the evaluation of mediastinal adenopathy in the absence of any identifiable pulmonary or endobronchial lesion. Of these, 4 had a nonbronchogenic malignancy, 5 had benign disease, and 1 had no established patological diagnosis; mediastinoscopy established a definitive diagnosis in 98% of the patients. In this group of 50 patients, there were no deaths, but 1 major and 4 minor complications. Mediastinoscopy is a highly effective and safe procedure. We believe that in the diagnosis and staging of thoracic diseases mediastinoscopy may be used in every patient when indicated.

Özet

Mediastinoskopi, toraks hastalıklarının tanısında ve akciğer kanserlerinin evrelemesinde kullanılan bir işlemdir. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde toraks hastalıklarının tanısında uyguladığımız mediastinoskopinin rolünü değerlendirmek amacıyla 2001-2002 yıllarında mediastinoskopi uyguladığımız tüm olguları geriye dönük olarak inceledik. Mediastinoskopi uygulanan 50 olgunun 40'ında kuşkulu veya bilinen akciğer kanseri vardı. Bunlardan 10'u N2 veya N3 olarak saptandı. Geriye kalan 30 olguda metastatik lenf nodu belirlenmedi. Bu olguların 21'i akciğer kanseri idi ve eksplore ettiğimizde 2 olguda N2 bulundu. Mediastinoskopi sonuçları negatif olan 30 olgunun 2'sine bronkojenik olmayan malignite, 4 olguya da benign lezyon ve 21 olguya bronş kanseri nedeniyle rezeksiyon uygulandı. Üç olgu medikal yönden inoperabl idi. 50 olgunun 10'unda tanımlanan bir parankimal veya endobronşiyal pulmoner lezyon olmadan mediastinal adenopati nedeniyle mediastinoskopi uygulandı. Bu olguların 4'ünde bronkojenik olmayan malignite, 5'inde benign hastalık saptandı, 1 olgunun ise patolojisi negatifti. Mediastinoskopiyle olguların %98'ine tanı konuldu. 50 olguluk grubumuzda perioperatif ölüm hiç görülmedi. 1 olguda majör, 4 olguda ise minör komplikasyon gelişti. Mediastinoskopi oldukça etkili ve güvenli bir yöntemdir. Mediastinoskopinin toraks hastalıklarının tanısında ve bronş kanserlerinin evrelemesinde, gerekli görülen tüm hastalarda kullanılabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
