Mediastinoscopic removal of a superior mediastinal foreign body. 1980

A J Larrieu, and G F Tyers, and E H Williams, and J R Derrick

A metallic mediastinal foreign body, which eroded into the esophagus and resulted in a mediastinal abscess, was removed through the mediastinoscope. Tubes for drainage and irrigation were easily inserted after the pus had been entirely drained. Satisfactory low-risk treatment was accomplished without the need for major surgical intervention.
