- Abstract
Mediastinal surgery most often is performed via a transthoracic or transabdominal approach; however, the pre- and paratracheal mediastinum can be readily accessed with a transcervical approach. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and success rate of using a transcervical approach and flexible endoscopes to perform mediastinal surgery also in the retro- and paraesophageal mediastinum.
