Results for tag: "Mediastinoscopy"

Mediastinoscopy is a type of endoscopy procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the mediastinum, the area between the lungs. It is performed by inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the end through a small incision in the neck. The tube is then guided through the mediastinum to allow the doctor to view the area and take tissue samples for biopsy. Mediastinoscopy is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as lung cancer, lymphoma, and tuberculosis. The mediastinoscopy market is a subset of the larger endoscopy market. It is a growing market, driven by the increasing prevalence of diseases such as lung cancer and tuberculosis, as well as the development of new technologies and techniques. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some of the major companies in the mediastinoscopy market include Olympus Corporation, Stryker Corporation, Karl Storz GmbH & Co. KG, Richard Wolf GmbH, and Boston Scientific Corporation.
