dc.description.abstractBackground: Mediastinoscopy is a widely used surgical procedure in the diagnosis of mediastinal disease and the staging of lung cancer. Objective: To question the feasibility of mediastinoscopy procedure at a newly established thoracic surgery center. Methods: Fifty patients who underwent mediastinoscopy at the Thoracic Surgery Clinic of Duzce University School of Medicine, between January 2009 and January 2011 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: In a majority of cases, mediastinoscopy was conducted with diagnostic purposes, and frequently, sarcoidosis and tuberculosis diagnoses were made. Among patients with malignancy who had mediastinoscopy for staging purposes, N2 or N3 were determined in half of them. In mediastinoscopy, which has a 98% success rate, 16% morbidity rate was determined, where hoarseness due to nervus laryngeus recurrens damage and pneumothorax are frequently observed. There was no mortality among patients. Conclusions: Although mediastinoscopy may cause various complications in newly established thoracic surgery centers, it is an essential surgical procedure that should be routinely applied to patients.en_US
