New therapeutic modalities for disorders of the pediatric spine must include video-assisted thoracoscopy. The endoscopic approach to the spine has involved an evolutionary approach. What began as an isolated drainage of a vertebral abscess was continued as a method of single discectomy; release of the annulus fibrosis with or without ligation of ...

It is a prerequisite for accurate nodal staging and has an impact on survival. With the introduction of neoadjuvant therapy for stage III lung carcinoma, mediastinal staging before therapy became more important.

Video assisted thoracic surgery
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1993Using video thoracoscopic techniques in 30 patients over a twelve month period we have been able to perform 33 procedures that would have been previously performed by thoracotomy, with its associated morbidity. We have found the applications of this procedure to be diverse, being both diagnostic (n = 16) and therapeutic (n = 17).

Surgical Endoscopy, 1999
Surgical centers that treat esophageal cancer need to create a simple and easy method to feed patients who suffer from complete occlusion of the upper alimentary tract. The purpose of this work is to present our own modification of a laparoscopic feeding gastrostomy, which is based on our own experience and previously published methods.
