List the two types of mediastinoplasty, and provide a brief description of each.?

Question

Is there such thing as a mediastinoplasty

Answer 1

Well, there are two definitions of the mediastinum and if you add "plasty" to it it ought to mean plastic surgery on the mediastinum. Which mediastinum depends on the context.

mediastinum:

1 : the space in the chest between the pleural sacs of the lungs that contains all the viscera of the chest except the lungs and pleurae; also : this space with its contents
2 : a mass of connective tissue at the back of the testis being continuous externally with the tunica albuginea and internally with the interlobular septa and enclosing the rete testis

Answer 2

I don't think so... are you sure you've spelled it correctly?
