Mediastinoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that involves the insertion of a tube into the mediastinum (the area between the lungs) to visualize the lymph nodes and other structures in that region. A bronchoscopy is a similar procedure that examines the bronchi (the tubes that lead to the lungs). Atelectasis is a collapse of lung tissue. Bronchiolectasis is a dilation or widening of the bronchioles (smaller airways within the lungs). Only mediastinoscopy is specific to the examination of the area between the lungs.
