The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
The combining of miniaturized video technology with thoracoscopy now allows surgeons to perform a variety of thoracic procedures percutaneously. Both rigid and flexible video thoracoscopes are available. The rigid endoscope has a camera located proximally at the eye-piece and is capable of excellent resolution.

Clinical application of infrared thoracoscopy to detect bullous or emphysematous lesions of the lung
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007 ObjectiveWe have previously reported that infrared thoracoscopy was useful in detecting emphysematous lesions in a canine model of lung emphysema. We applied infrared thoracoscopy to determine the feasibility and efficacy of planning bullectomy for ...

Thoracoscopy and Pneumonolysis
Diseases of the Chest, 19471. In a series of 234 thoracoscopies from 1943 to 1946, ninety-six pneumonolyses were performed. 2. Thoracoscopy has proved to be a safe, simple and informative procedure, singularly devoid of serious complications. 3. Sixty-nine per cent of the pneumonolysis operations resulted in a negative sputum or made possible the continuation of a ...

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2010
Thoracoscopy has numerous applications for both diagnosis and treatment in thoracic trauma. It is excellent for the diagnosis of diaphragmatic injuries, mediastinal evaluation, and the assessment of persistent air-leak. It offers therapeutic intervention for diaphragmatic lacerations, thoracic bleeding in stable patients, evacuation of residual ...

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.

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.

Thoracoscopy in infants and children
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 1998The recent advances in technology and technique in endoscopic surgery have dramatically altered the approach to intrathoracic lesions in the pediatric patient. Now most operations can be performed using a video-assisted approach, which has markedly decreased the associated morbidity for the patient.

Surgery, 1977
Poor results in the treatment of lung cancer have led to the development of several techniques designed to obtain tissue for diagnosis and to determine the feasibility of resection. Although mediastinoscopy has obtained great popularity, we have been dissatisfied with it because of the low yield of positive results and the attendant increases in length
