A mediastinoscopy may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. The procedure will be performed while you are asleep under general anesthesia. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctorâs practices.
Endoscopy is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Endoscopy uses a thin tube, called an endoscope, with a light and camera at its tip to look inside the upper digestive system. It is passed down through the mouth into the oesophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
