Recent advances in video‐imaging and minimally invasive surgical instrumentation have expanded the role of thoracoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of intrathoracic conditions. This prospective study describes the use of video‐assisted thoracoscopy (VAT) in 100 consecutive patients. There were 70 males and 30 females with a mean age of 54.6.

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.

Video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2007Systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy is usually done at thoracotomy together with lung resection. 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).
