The history of thoracoscopic surgery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993The necessity for thoracoscopy became apparent with the adhesions that limited the success of Forlanini's introduction in 1882 of artificial pneumothorax in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. The first thoracoscopy, using a modified cystoscope, was performed by H. C.

[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

Anaesthesia for thoracoscopic surgery
Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2002The surgical requirement for thoracoscopy is a good view of the contents of the thorax. This is achieved by capitalizing on natural consequences and the skills of anaesthesiologists to produce a pneumothorax and collapse the ipsilateral lung--a process that is commonly enhanced by insufflating carbon dioxide.

An update on anesthesia for thoracoscopic surgery
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2010The surgical management of patients partly determines the anesthetic management. A shift has taken place in thoracic surgery, with a large portion of procedures now being performed through a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach. This review is intended to provide the anesthesiologist with an update on the management of thoracic surgical

Thoracoscopic Surgery for Pulmonary Tuberculosis
World Journal of Surgery, 1999Abstract.Tuberculosis historically was a major impetus for the development of thoracic surgery, and it remains a serious health problem of global proportion. Thoracoscopy was first introduced at the turn of this century for closed chest adhesiolysis as an adjunct to collapse therapy for treatment of tuberculosis.

Preliminary Experience With Thoracoscopic Surgery
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1992Thoracoscopic surgery was accomplished in 12 patients utilizing thoracoscopic instruments and a stapler. Five patients were treated for recurrent, spontaneous pneumothoraces, for which blebectomies were done; three patients for pulmonary nodules, for which wedge resections were done; one patient for cryptogenic pleural effusion; one patient for ...

Thoracoscopic Surgery for Spontaneous Pneumothorax
World Journal of Surgery, 1999Abstract.Spontaneous pneumothorax in apparently healthy individuals is a relatively common occurrence. The management of patients with spontaneous pneumothorax remains controversial. With the advances in thoracoscopic techniques and instrumentation, video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is now accepted by many as the procedure of choice for surgical ...

Thoracoscopic surgery in the elderly population
Surgical Endoscopy, 1996We review our experience in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) on patients over 75 years of age from a single institution.From September 1992 to November 1995, 22 patients (13 males and 9 females with mean age of 78.1 years) underwent the following procedures: pleural biopsies with or without drainage and decortication (5), drainage of empyema

Thoracoscopic surgery: The Belgian experience
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993Despite the already wide experience with video-assisted techniques in laparoscopic surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery only recently came to be developed. This is clearly seen in a survey reflecting the experience among Belgian surgeons. A majority of the surgeons (63%) had limited experience (1 to 5 interventions), and only 28.5% had fairly ...

Thoracoscopic Surgery in Infants and Children
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2005Numerous investigators have shown that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) can be safely used for specific conditions of newborns, infants, and children. The technique has been postulated to be associated with a lower morbidity, shorter hospital stay, lower costs, and clinical results similar to those achieved by open surgery.
