[Surgical treatment of mediastinal tumors and cysts].
The authors have analysed the diagnostics, clinical course and surgical measures in mediastinal neoplasms in 196 patients from 4 months to 72 years of age. Operations were performed in 84.7% of the patients, lethality was 1.8%. Postoperative complications were noted in 4.6% of the patients. The authors find it expedient to remove small mediastinal new formations in patients with an asymptomatic clinical course of the disease due to the danger of their future growth and resulting problems concerned with their excision. A detailed examination and surgical treatment of such patients should be performed in thoracal departments.
