Article Abstract
Sampling, or systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection, is the standard-of-care surgical treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer, according to guidelines from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Lymph node status defines disease status and patients' prognosis. In this video tutorial, a radical ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node dissection in a man suffering from a left, centrally located lung adenocarcinoma is presented. Systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection constitutes a high-quality metric for the efficacy of the surgical procedure and is essential to achieving adequate staging and treatment.
