For the number of removed mediastinal lymph nodes, p value <0.0001. Pathological assessment In the SND group, 7 patients had metastases in the mediastinal lymph nodes, which is 17.5%. The N2 nodes in this group was found in 5 patients and it was one\-level metastases, and in 2 patients it was diagnosed in 2 and 3 stations. In 4 patients these were skip metastases, which were not present in the lymph nodes of N1 groups. In two cases, when both N1 and N2 were present, it was multilevel disease. Two out of three patients with both N1 and N2 disease, the N2 stage was multilevel. In the BML group, metastases in the mediastinal lymph nodes were found in 7 \(14.28%\) patients. Multilevel N2 was found in 2 patients, these were two\-level metastases, and single\-level N2 in 5 patients. No statistical difference was found for mediastinal lymph node metastases p = 0.253. There was no statistical difference for N1 lymph node metastases p = 0.836. The mean operating time in the SND group was 220.71 minutes and ranged from 125 to 360 minutes, the median was 210.0 \(180.0\; 250\). The mean time of surgery in the BML group was 318.87 minutes and ranged from 105\-520 minutes, the median was 315.0 \(268.8\; 360\). P\-value <0.001 The mean i"]
