Abstract:
This article describes in detail the operative technique of the new surgical methods, video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) and transcervical extended mediastinal lymphadenectomy (TEMLA). Both techniques enable the removal of the mediastinal nodes with the surrounding fatty tissue. VAMLA and TEMLA have very high diagnostic yield and can be combined with minimally invasive video-assisted lobectomy.
