OPERATIONS:1. Flexible bronchoscopy2. Cervical mediastinoscopy with biopsy and thyroid isthmusectomy PROCEDURE: This otherwise normally healthy patient was brought to the operative suite and placed in supine position. After satisfactory induction of general endotracheal anesthesia, a flexible Olympus bronchoscope was passed through the endotracheal tube visualizing the distal trachea, carina, and right and left main stem bronchi of the primary and secondary divisions. No evidence of any endobronchial tumor was noted. The scope was then withdrawn. The patient was then prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A shoulder roll was placed. A curvilinear incision was made above the suprasternal notch in the line of a skin crease. Dissection was carried down through the subcutaneous tissue down through the platysma muscle. The strap muscles were next identified and laterally retracted. We continued our dissection down to the pretracheal space. A partial left thyroid lobectomy…
