AB Mediastinoscopy  is  a  surgical  technique  that  permits  minimally  invasive  access  to  the  mediastinum.1  Frequently,  mediastinoscopy  is  used  to  biopsy  and  facilitate  the  histologic  diagnosis  of  enlarged  mediastinal  lymph  nodes  (carcinoma,  sarcoidosis,  and  tuberculosis)  and  masses  (lymphoma,  germ  cell  tumor,  and  thymoma).  Mediastinoscopy  plays  an  important  role  in  staging  of  bronchogenic  carcinoma.  Staging  directs  treatment,  guides  implementation  of  protocols,  and  permits  comparison  of  treatment  between  patients.
