We reviewed our experience performing mediastinoscopy as an outpatient
procedure. From January 1, 1987, to December 31, 1992, 1,015 of 1,062
cervical mediastinoscopies were performed on an outpatient basis. There
were no operative deaths. Complications developed in 14 patients, 10 of
whom required hospitalization. Two additional patients were hospitalized
for social reasons. Supraventricular arrhythmia was the most frequent
complication requiring admission to the hospital. This article documents
the ability to perform mediastinoscopy safely as an outpatient procedure
and discusses why this is our preferred approach in managing patients with
lung cancer.
