11/01/1980 - "A metallic mediastinal foreign body, which eroded into the esophagus and resulted in a mediastinal abscess, was removed through the mediastinoscope. "

05/18/1996 - "After an experimental study on cadavers to test the technical feasibility of main bronchus closure via a cervical approach using a video-mediastinoscope, we used video-assisted mediastinal surgery successfully in a patient with a left main bronchus fistula."
04/01/1996 - "After an anatomic study on cadavers, we successfully used a video mediastinoscope to close a postpneumonectomy main bronchus fistula via a cervical incision."
06/01/1998 - "We believe that this method (abscess drainage with mediastinoscope and wash-out repeatedly) is useful for those who has broncheal fistula after esophagectomy."

03/01/2006 - "When the mediastinoscope is inserted to this distance with a lateral deviation of about 45 degrees, the point of contact with the mediastinum of the biopsy forceps is the limit between station 2 and station 4. We applied this technique in 15 consecutive patients submitted to video-assisted mediastinoscopy for lung cancer. "
