Summary

The experiences and results of four re-mediastinoscopies are presented. All the patients had to some degree developed mediastinal fibrosis but not to a degree seriously interfering with the procedure. It is concluded that re-mediastinoscopy should be done if it can contribute to the diagonsis.
