OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the possibility of endoscopic treatment in patients with bronchial tumors

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Endoscopic diagnosis and endoscopic surgical interventions were made in 41 patients with tracheal or bronchial tumors: benign and malignant ones were identified in 29 (70.7%) and 12 (29.3%) cases, respectively. Among the patients there were 30 males and 11 females aged 17 to 70 years (mean age 51.51±14.28 years).

RESULTS

Endoscopic surgery using mechanical removal or loop electrosurgical excision was performed in the treatment of patients with benign tumors. Stenting was used in 6 (50%) patients with malignant tumors. At the same time, self-expandable metallic stents were installed in 4 patients; Dumon silicone stents were placed in 2 patients. Other endoscopic surgical techniques were used in the remaining 6 patients. No complications were noted after the intervention. Reoperations were done in 3 (7.3%) patients due to tumor recurrence.

CONCLUSION

Endoscopic interventions in patients with benign and malignant bronchial tumors can effectively and relatively safely restore and maintain airway patency, fundamentally changing (up to a complete cure in benign tumors), or substantially improving their quality of life.
