title: [Video-assisted mediastinoscopy: clinical uses].
abstract: The experience with video-assisted mediastinoscopy in 16 cases examined, is reported. Initially the classic mediastinoscopic device with the aid of an operative thoracoscopy was used. Starting from April 1994 the Authors used the video-assisted mediastinoscopy which, enlarging the surgical field, allows to improve the operative performance and may be a good aid for multiple teaching.
