Thoracoscopic diaphragm plication
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020Diaphragmatic paralysis with subsequent eventration and respiratory compromise has a huge impact on the quality of life of affected patients. Many different surgical approaches for correcting this problem have been described in the past, using both transabdominal and transthoracic pathways.

THORACOSCOPIC CARDIOMYOTOMY FOR ACHALASIA
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1996Twelve patients with achalasia treated by cardiomyotomy via a thoracoscopic approach have been studied prospectively. Seven patients had previously undergone balloon dilatation with an unsatisfactory result. The procedure was completed successfully in all patients without recourse to thoracotomy.

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2010
With the advent of videotechnology, sympathectomy has assumed a more important role in the armamentarium of managing diseases of the autonomic system. Currently it is used primarily for hyperhydrosis, although sympathectomy for reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), Raynaud disease and other diseases still are performed, but less frequently.

Laparoscopic and Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy
Advances in Surgery, 2010Over the past decade, our technique of MIE has evolved considerably. In the incipient phase of our experience, we used a totally laparoscopic approach similar to that described in the initial reports from DePaula and colleagues and Swanstrom and Hansen.

[Thoracoscope for thoracoscopic surgery].
Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2015Thoracoscope is very important in thoracoscopic surgery (TS). There are many types of telescope and monitor. Also the placement of access port and location of the monitor image often differ between each institutions. Thoracic surgeons need to know these features to perform good TS. In our department, 2,375 patients (98% of all operation) were underwent

The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2018
Minimally invasive pulmonary segmentectomy makes adequate oncologic treatment possible in selected cases while preserving lung parenchyma and minimizing perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay. Most lung segments may be resected as segmentectomies or as part of bisegmentectomies (as is the case for the lingula).

Surgical Endoscopy, 1992
Thoracoscopic surgery is decidedly expanded by the ability to perform pulmonary wedge resections of the lung by using the Endo-GIA-stapler. In addition to thoracoscopic biopsies, since July 1991 we have carried out wedge resections in 12 patients suffering from spontaneous pneumothorax (nine) or peripheral bronchial carcinoma (three).

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996
Thoracoscopic sympathectomy has become the most widely used approach to cervicothoracic sympathectomy. Appropriate selection of cases and a knowledge of the regional anatomy are essential in achieving good clinical results. The physiology and anatomy of the upper thoracic sympathectomy system and the indications, contraindications, and complications of

Thoracoscopic Basilar Segmentectomy
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011TECHNIQUE Port placement is described in Table 1 and Figure 1. This standardized port configuration can be used for all segmental resections. On the left, the port arrangement is shifted slightly posterior to account for the heart/mediastinum. A metal 10-mm port is introduced for the camera at the level of the 7th interspace in the midaxillary line ...

Awake Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy
2012Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) sympathectomy is a safe and effective procedure for treatment of facial, palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. It can be more rarely used in other conditions. Awake thoracic surgery with epidural anesthesia and spontaneous ventilation has been employed to perform many surgical procedures including VATS sympathectomy.
