title: Periareolar mediastinoscopy: a new technique.
abstract: Biopsy of anterior mediastinal or aortopulmonary nodes is usually accomplished through a left anterior mediastinostomy. Cosmetic concerns expressed by patients about scars in the neck or the upper chest led us to consider a new periareolar approach for mediastinoscopy. This technique has been used successfully in 10 patients.
