Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy
2012Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy (MT/P), compared with surgical thoracoscopy (VATS), has the advantage that it can be performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation, in an endoscopy suite, using nondisposable rigid (or semirigid) instruments. Thus, it is considerably less expensive.

Medical thoracoscopy in pneumothorax
European Respiratory Journal, 2013Introduction: Spontaneous pneumothorax is associated with high morbidity often requiring hospital admission and recurrences. Medical thoracoscopy may find a important place in management of pneumothorax. Aims & objectives: To assess role of medical thoracoscopy in spontaneous pneumothorax on duration of intercostal drainage (ICD), hospital stay and

Revue medicale suisse, 2011
Medical thoracoscopy (MT) remains a mini-invasive and very efficient technique to diagnose pleural diseases. In case of pleural effusion of unknown etiology its diagnostic yield is higher than 90%. MT also allows to perform cheap and successful pleurodesis by simple talc insufflation in case of recurring pneumothorax and invalidating malignant pleural ...

The Frontier of Medical Thoracoscopy
2013Advanced procedures in medical thoracoscopy are best described as nonroutine. They are interventions associated with greater complexity and lie somewhere between the medical procedure of thoracoscopy and the surgical procedure of VATS. The current advanced indications as described in the literature include sympathectomy and pericardial window.

Ultrasound and Medical Thoracoscopy
2009Ultrasound is a very useful adjunct to medical thoracoscopy. It allows a real-time assessment of the complexity of the pleural space at the bedside. This in turn minimizes complications and maximizes safety. Traditionally, the induction of a pneumothorax was necessary prior to beginning the medical thoracoscopy in order to minimize the risk of injury ...

Ultrasound for Medical Thoracoscopy
2013The method for thoracoscopy described since Jacobaeus performed his first routine medical thoracoscopies depends upon being able to access the pleural space, which if absent relies upon the induction of a pneumothorax (Marchetti et al. 2011). Inducing a pneumothorax was frequently performed immediately prior to the procedure or more classically on the ...
