    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Procedures
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Mediastinoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool.
    • Assessing lymph node involvement in pulmonary diseases is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and diagnostic yield of mediastinoscopy.
    • To assess its efficacy in sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and malignancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Mediastinoscopy performed by thoracic surgeons.
    • Analysis of lymph node tissue for diagnosis.

    Main Results:

    • High diagnostic yield (>82%) for sarcoidosis.
    • Successful isolation of M. tuberculosis (>79%) in lymphatic tuberculosis.
    • Precise histological diagnosis in all malignancy cases with lymphadenopathy.

    Conclusions:

    • Mediastinoscopy is safe and cosmetically acceptable.
    • It provides high diagnostic accuracy for various mediastinal conditions.
    • The procedure is effective in identifying sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and malignancy.
