Abstract
Personal experience with 525 mediastinoscopies is reported. The undisposed usefulness of this examination for obtaining an exact diagnosis in all primary or apparently primary lymph gland conditions of the mediastinum is confirmed. The indications for mediastinoscopy during pulmonary and mediastinic neoplasia are also discussed and mention made of complications and contraindications.
