[Surgical treatment of intrathoracic compression of respiratory ways caused by mediastinal teratocarcinoma in children].
Twelve children with mediastinal teratodermoid tumor, causing intrathoracic compression of respiratory ways (ITCRW) in 8 of them, were treated in clinic. In 75% of children with ITCRW the conduction of special preoperative preparation was necessary. All the patients were operated on. Tumor was removed en bloc or using the fragmentation method. In secondary tracheomalacia the anterior aortopexy for the tracheal lumen preservation was done simultaneously.
