Thoracoscopy

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1990
This article presents endoscopic evaluation of the pleural cavity, or thoracoscopy, an effective diagnostic technique that can be employed to provide additional diagnostic information in cases of intrathoracic disease. The techniques of thoracoscopy are described, and normal and abnormal findings are discussed. Thoracoscopy allows visual examination of

Medical thoracoscopy

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1998
Thoracoscopy has received increasing attention over the past decade as a result of the considerable advances that have been made in the development of endoscopic instruments. In contrast to the newly established video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the classic way to perform thoracoscopy is using only local anesthesia and sedation (medical ...

Axillary thoracoscopy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
Thoracoscopy can be done safely and effectively through working ports placed in the axilla in patients whose pathology is in the upper half of the thorax. We have used this technique successfully in 37 patients with no complications. Advantages include superior cosmesis, optimal access to the apex of the chest, and, if necessary, easy conversion to ...

DIAGNOSTIC THORACOSCOPY

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1998
Thoracoscopy provides diagnosis of pleural diseases with a high degree of accuracy. Moreover, this procedure allows a careful pleural staging of the disease, in particular for pleural cancer, which is important for the prognosis and therapeutic decision. This article focuses on the technique, indications, and results of medical thoracoscopy.

Medical thoracoscopy

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2009
The technique and clinical applications of medical thoracoscopy have substantially evolved in the last few decades. The recent development of a semirigid thoracoscope, which is handled similarly to a bronchoscope, has made this procedure more attractive to pulmonologists.

Medical Thoracoscopy

Respiration, 2008
As opposed to ‘video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery’ which requires general anesthesia, double-lumen tracheal intubation and single lung ventilation, medical thoracoscopy (or ‘pleuroscopy’) is frequently performed in the respiratory endoscopy suite using local anesthesia.

THERAPEUTIC THORACOSCOPY

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1998
Thoracoscopy provides a minimally invasive window to the pleural space, lung, and mediastinum. Further advances prompted by improvements of specifically designed endoscopic instruments and procedural techniques are expected. There is no doubt that thoracoscopy has a place among therapeutic procedures in the chest. The time-proven principles of thoracic

Diagnostic Thoracoscopy

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 1999
Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique that provides access to the thoracic cavity for evaluation of intrathoracic pathology without surgical intervention. Intrathoracic structures can be visualized better with thoracoscopy than with an open thoracotomy.
