Mediastinoscopic ultrasonography (MUS).
Correct pre-therapeutic T4 staging is mandatory for neo-adjuvant studies and for the decision on surgical therapy of high-risk patients. T4-staging of centrally located lung-cancer by means of non-invasive imaging techniques is either of low accuracy (CT and NMR) or important regions are not accessible due to air interference with the tracheo-bronchial tree (trans-esophageal-endosonography, TEE...
متن کاملSystematic Video-Assisted Mediastinoscopic Lymphadenectomy (VAMLA)
Accurate mediastinal lymph node dissection during thoracotomy is mandatory for staging and for adjuvant therapy in lung cancer. Pre-therapeutic staging for neoadjuvant therapy or for video assisted thoracoscopic resection of lung cancer is achieved usually by CT-scan and mediastinoscopy. However, these methods do not reach the accuracy of open nodal dissection. Therefore we developed a techniqu...
متن کاملVideo-assisted mediastinoscopic resection of a large symptomatic bronchogenic cyst.
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions from the primitive foregut, mostly located in the mediastinum. Surgical excision in symptomatic cases is often challenging. Video-assisted mediastinoscopy offers a safe and effective approach with less morbidity and shorter hospital stay compared to open sternotomy or posterolateral thoracotomy. We describe a case of a young female with a large symptoma...

The goiter was resected through a standard Kocher neck incision with mediastinoscopic assistance. The large goiter was completely excised without the need for a sternotomy.
