The cases were evaluated in terms of age, gender, complaint, operation time, histopathological diagnosis, postoperative morbidity and mortality parameters. &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Results&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; Upon histopathological examination 32 (30%) patients were diagnosed with lung cancer metastasis (N2 stage), which was the most common diagnosis. With this diagnosis unnecessary thoracotomy was prevented. In patients with pathological lymphadenopathy found by imaging histopathological results were examined to evaluate the presence of N2 stage. In 25 (23.5%) cases biopsy results were reported as reactive lymph nodes. In addition, 23 (21.4%) patients had sarcoidosis, 16 (15%) had tuberculosis lymphadenitis, seven (6.5%) had lymphoma, one of each (0.9%) had benign epithelial cyst (0.9%), malign epithelial tumour (invasive ductal carcinoma of breast), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), and adenocarcinoma metastasis (renal cell cancer). &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Conclusion&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; When other non-invasive procedures are ineffective, mediastinoscopy is an efficient diagnostic method with high diagnostic value, which is applicable also in places other than advanced centres, with low morbidity and mortality.&amp;lt;\/p&amp;gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17392\/1001-19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T10:20:46Z","timestamp":1713694846000},"page":"244-248","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The role of mediastinoscopy in the diagnosis of thoracic disease: 107-case analysis"],"prefix":"10.17392","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7275-1039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hasan","family":"O\u011fuz Kapiciba\u015fi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University","place":["Canakkale,Turkey"],"department":["Department of Thoracic Surgery"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"49509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"343","article-title":"Mediastinoscopy: a method for inspection and tissue biopsy in the superior mediastinum","author":"ECarlensE","year":"1959","unstructured":"Carlens EL.
