Mediastinoscopy is a surgical procedure used to look inside the mediastinum, the central area of the chest between the lungs. It is most often used to sample (biopsy) lymph nodes to diagnose or stage cancer. It is commonly part of lung cancer evaluation and can also help assess other mediastinal diseases.
