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 ...

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.

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 ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2022
Novel approaches and innovations in small animal thoracoscopy are being rapidly developed; this article aims to describe recent updates in commonly performed thoracoscopic procedures, including lung lobectomy, pericardiectomy and pericardial and cardiac neoplasia evaluation, chylothorax treatment, cranial mediastinal mass resection, persistent right ...

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 ...

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
Pediatric surgical experience with video-assisted thoracoscopy is limited. The authors report their experience with 27 thoracoscopies in 22 children. The median age was 6.1 years (range, 1 day to 16 years). The two primary indications for thoracoscopy were management of pneumothorax and mediastinal cysts.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2000
With the recent development of video-assisted thoracic surgery, visual inspection of the thoracic cavity has been used to provide a more accurate diagnosis and prognosis of thoracic diseases and to better manage these diseases. Equipment, techniques, and complications for standing thoracoscopy in horses are described.

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.

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.

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
