Video-Thoracoscopic Parietal Pleurectomy
2012Pleurectomy implies removal of the parietal and/or visceral pleura and can be performed by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or open thoracotomy. Depending on the specific disease involved, an apical, partial or full parietal pleurectomy is performed.

Method of thoracoscopic pleurectomy
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994A method of thoracoscopic pleurectomy using hydrodissection is presented. The results of its use in 8 patients are described, and pleurectomy as a form of pleurodesis is discussed.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a very aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Unlike other solid malignancies, the aim of surgery for MPM is cytoreductive rather than radical. Surgery is performed as multimodality therapy in MPM, combining extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and pleurectomy/decortication (P/D).

Pleurectomy and decortication for malignant mesothelioma
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2004P/D in combination with other therapies remains an effective weapon in the thoracic surgeon's armamentarium for treating patients with MPM, particularly patients with limited lung function. A clear benefit has been demonstrated in terms of symptom relief.

Parietal pleurectomy for malignant pleural effusion
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 1995Malignant pleural effusions are seen frequently in clinical practice and are most commonly caused by breast cancer and lung cancer. Standard treatment usually consists of complete drainage of the pleural space via a chest tube and instillation of a pleural irritant to obtain pleural symphysis.

Surgical Treatment of Mesothelioma: Pleurectomy
Chest, 1999Malignant diffuse mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma, with a median survival ranging from 8.5 to 18 months after diagnosis. Good performance status, absence of chest pain, age < 50 years, and epithelial histology are all associated with improved survival.

Pleurectomy in primary pneumothorax: is extensive pleurectomy necessary?
The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2000The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of parietal pleurectomy in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax comparing extensive pleurectomy performed by thoracotomy versus more limited pleurectomy performed by VATS.Records of the patients operated on for primary pneumothorax at Royal Brompton Hospital from January 1994 to April 1997 were
