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 ...

Thoracoscopy: Origins Revisited
Respiration, 2006The ways in which thoracoscopy has evolved wonderfully illustrate how a diagnostic and therapeutic technique can transcend a particular medical or surgical subspecialty. In this review, an in-depth history is provided to enable readers to better understand the nature of minimally invasive endoscopic pleural imaging techniques.

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.

Thoracoscopy in the management of pneumothorax
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001Spontaneous pneumothorax is a common condition that impacts significantly on healthcare expenditure. However, optimal management of spontaneous pneumothorax remains a subject of considerable controversy. A thoracic surgeon's perspective on the use of thoracoscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery with a focus on surgical techniques in the current ...

Sympatholysis via Thoracoscopy
2013Thoracic sympathectomy is defined as the anatomical interruption of the thoracic sympathetic chain. The level of interruption (e.g., T2, T3) depends upon the indication for the sympathectomy and the required therapeutic effects (e.g., treatment of essential palmar or axillary hyperhidrosis, treatment of refractory heart rhythm disorders, treatment of ...
