Minimally Invasive Systematic Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy for Lung Cancer Surgery
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy or sampling is a critical component of lung cancer resection, ensuring accurate staging and potential therapeutic benefits. In this article, we will describe a standardized method for formal mediastinal lymphadenectomy which should provide a similar dissection outcome as described with open approaches. This method will also lends itself to reproducibility and facilitates teaching proper technique. We believe understanding and mastering techniques of systemic mediastinal lymphadenectomy will also help the procedure of sampling.
