Part I The Pleura and Thoracoscopy Technique -- Part II Thoracoscopy for the Beginners -- Part III Interventional Thoracoscopy -- Part IV Advanced Thoracoscopy -- Part V Complications of Thoracoscopy and Management -- Part VI Future in the Field of Thoracoscopy.
The incidence of pleural disease is increasing, and it is now accepted that best practice requires the incorporation of thoracoscopy into the work-up.Âȯwever, surgeons cannot meet the rising demand for thoracoscopy by means of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and waiting lists for endoscopic pleural procedures are consequently lengthening.Âainst this background, there is an increasing need for medical thoracoscopy performed by pulmonologists, which may be video assisted and has the advantage of being very cost-effective. This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to thoracoscopy for pulmonologists that documents the considerable progress in endoscopic telescopes and instrumentation.Âìear practical guidance is provided on technique, and diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional applications of thoracoscopy are all carefully examined with the aid of high-quality illustrations.Âthough medical thoracoscopy is much less invasive than VATS and thoracotomy, complications can occur in a small number of cases; these are discussed and advice on prevention is provided.The concluding section examines the future of the field, covering developments such as â€m̃iniâ€oracoscopy, autofluorescence thoracoscopy, and flexi-rigid thoracoscopy.
