Abstract
Examination of the anterior mediastinum using Carlens' middle line approach is described and experience reported on 87 patients. Special emphasis is laid on various points in the procedure which require special care and on certain steps which facilitate the safe removal of biopsy specimens. The macroscopic characteristics of carcinomatous metastases, vascular anomalies, cysts, and sarcoid lesions are described. No complications occurred in the course of mediastinoscopy.Keywords
