Electrosurgery via the Fiberoptic Bronchoscope

1981
Electrosurgery via the fiberoptic endoscope was first developed in 1971. At present its used inculde the treatment of esophageal varices and stenosis, bleeding gastric ulcer, in aacition to polypectomy or extirpation of submucosal tumors in the stomach and colon, in addition to papillotany of the papilla of Vater. At present laparotomy is rarely chosen

Pleuroscopy with the Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscope

1981
The etiology of pleural effusion at times presents a diagnostic problem. closed pleural biopsy may fail to secure a diagnostic specimen due to the localised nature of a lesion. The fiberoptic bronchoscope has been used as a pleuroscope to visualize the pleura and to perform biopsy of pleural lesions (1–3).

Fiberoptic Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy in the Management of Tracheobronchial Obstruction

Chest, 1996
Cryotherapy is used for endoscopic management of tracheobronchial obstruction (TBO). This study describes the use of a flexible cryoprobe for cryotherapy using nitrous oxide as a cryogen through a fiberoptic bronchoscope. The study group consisted of 22 patients, ages ranging from 28 to 82 years.

Pleuroscopy and Pleural Biopsy with the Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscope

Chest, 1975
Diagnostic pleuroscopy has been performed under local anesthesia in nine patients using a gas sterilized flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope inserted through a 1 to 2 cm chest incision into the pleural space. Pleuroscopy in one patient excluded recurrent neoplasm on the pleural aspect of a bronchopleural fistula.

Foreign Body Removal with the Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscope

Endoscopy, 1977
Intrabronchial foreign bodies are occasionally encountered in adults but most available information in humans consists only of reports evaluating one or two cases. We surveyed our experience and found seven patients with intrabronchial foreign bodies who had been examined with the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, six of whom were managed successfully.

Transbronchial Lung Biopsy Using Fiberoptic Bronchoscope

Southern Medical Journal, 1977
Transbronchial lung biopsy through the fiberoptic bronchoscope was done in 15 patients, and adequate pulmonary tissue was obtained in 14 (93.3%). A pathologic diagnosis was made in nine patients (64.3%), and through direct histologic examination of lung tissue in two patients certain disease entities were excluded, thus significantly influencing ...

Fiberoptic bronchoscopic positioning of double-lumen tubes

Journal of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, 1989
This article has attempted to familiarize the anesthesiologist with the bronchoscopic appearance of normally and abnormally positioned double-lumen endobronchial tubes. Double-lumen tubes are being used in an increasing proportion of thoracic surgical cases in major centers. Double-lumen tubes are also being used more frequently in intensive care units
