The value of mediastinoscopy based on experience gained in over 100 patients is reviewed. Reasons for the routine use of mediastinoscopy in the preoperative evaluation of carcinoma of the lung are presented. This modality is useful in the diagnosis of other nonvascular superior mediastinal masses, especially sarcoidosis and the lymphomas.
