Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014 The burden of pleural diseases continues to rise and affects an increasingly complex and aging patient population. As such, thoracentesis is one of the most common procedures performed by respiratory physicians, as pleural fluid analysis can establish the diagnosis of pleural effusions in approximately 75% of the cases. When a diagnosis is not reached,

The centenary of medical thoracoscopy [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2010 In the 19th century, many attempts were made to look inside the cavities of the human body, first through the usual anatomic channels, in gynaecology 1, urology 2 and the upper airways 3. However, closed cavities, such as the pleura and peritoneum, remained inaccessible until the beginning of the 20th century.

Advanced techniques in medical thoracoscopy [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2006 For expert pulmonologists, advanced procedures in medical thoracoscopy are the nonroutine and more complex applications of the method. The main current indications are the treatment of infected pleural space, forceps lung biopsy and sympathectomy.In parapneumonic effusions and empyema, medical thoracoscopy is as a drainage procedure, intermediate ...
