Fifty eight patients were treated for mediastinal tuberculous adenopathies in the thoracic surgery department from 1986 to 1992. Surgery was diagnostic in 49: mediastinoscopy n = 42, left anterior mediastinotomy n = 3, thoracotomy n = 3 and video assisted surgery n = 1. Surgery was in view of cure in 9: bronchial fistula despite medical treatment n = 6, recurrence under medical treatment n = 3. Mediastinal tuberculous adenopathies rarely complicate in adults. Surgical treatment is quickly effective in prolonging and complicating cases under medical treatment and also probably diminishes the risk of bronchial and pulmonary sequellaes.
