Three-Dimensional Printed Model of the Mediastinum for Cardiothoracic Surgery Resident Education. [PDF]
Background: Mediastinoscopy remains an important component of lung cancer staging. The development of endobronchial ultrasonography has meant residents perform fewer mediastinoscopies. We hypothesized that a 3-dimensional printed model of the mediastinum

A single-arm, prospective study comparing translaryngeal ultrasonography with direct visualisation by flexible laryngoscopy for vocal cord assessment in patients undergoing oesophagectomy or mediastinoscopy. [PDF]
Background and Aims: Translaryngeal ultrasonography (TLUSG) for diagnosis of vocal cord palsy, a relatively new, safe and noninvasive bedside technique with minimal risk of respiratory infection transmission, has been effective in patients with thyroid ...

Accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in the staging of lung cancer - A comparison of staging EBUS with postoperative pathological nodal staging. [PDF]
Background: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fine-needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has replaced mediastinoscopy as the preferred investigation for evaluating mediastinum in staging lung cancer.

An Innovative Management in the Diagnosis of Mediastinal Masses
Introduction The mediastinum is a complex anatomical region that contains vital structures such as the great vessels, heart, esophagus, and trachea. Mediastinal masses include a wide range of lesions, both malignant and benign.

Intraoperative ultrasound: “Alternative eye” in lymph nodal dissection in non‐small cell lung cancer
Intraoperative ultrasound of mediastinal lymph nodes allows surgeons to detect metastatic lymph nodes during surgery for NSCLC. It can show the relationship between lymph nodes and surrounding structures during biopsy, improving the safety and simplicity of the operation, increasing the number of harvested lymph nodes, and reducing the risk of ...

EBUS-TBNA versus surgical mediastinoscopy for mediastinal lymph node staging in potentially operable non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Objective: Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Accurate mediastinal staging is mandatory in order to assess prognosis and to select patients for surgical treatment.
