Thoracoscopy is recommended for various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, such as evaluating pleural diseases, diagnosing tumours and infections, obtaining pleural biopsies and treating pneumothorax or recurrent pleural effusion.
Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of small incisions and a thoracoscope, while open chest surgery involves a larger incision and direct visualization of the chest cavity.
Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) is a proper surgery. This surgery is done to obtain lung biopsies, remove a tumour, a part of or the entire lung, repair lung surfaces and clean the pleural cavity. VATS is performed by a thoracic surgeon in an operating theatre. This is different from medical thoracoscopy. This procedure is employed to drain the fluid or blood from the pleural cavity or to take pleural biopsies. To prevent fluid from reaccumulating in the pleural cavity, both surfaces can be glued together by pleurodesis via medical thoracoscopy. It is performed in a bronchoscopy suite by a chest physician.
Medical thoracoscopy can be performed under deep sedation, but in some selected patients, it can be done under general anaesthesia as well.
The duration of a thoracoscopy procedure can vary depending on the specific case and the complexity of the procedure. On average, it may take 30 – 45 mins.
