The incidence of pleural disease is increasing, and it is now accepted that best practice requires the incorporation of thoracoscopy into the work-up.  However, 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.  Against 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.  Clear 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.  Although 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 ‘mini’ thoracoscopy, autofluorescence thoracoscopy, and flexi-rigid thoracoscopy.

La nascita e lo sviluppo della chirurgia laparoscopica e mini-invasiva è il cambiamento più importante avvenuto in chirurgia pediatrica negli ultimi 30 anni. Il grande impulso a questa branca della chirurgia è legato allo sforzo combinato di molti chirurghi pediatri pionieri nel campo delle tecniche chirurgiche dedicate esclusivamente all’età pediatrica e allo sviluppo tecnologico, che ha permesso la miniaturizzazione degli strumenti laparoscopici nati in origine solo per l’utilizzo su adulti. Questo volume permette una rapida consultazione grazie alla praticità della struttura: per ogni patologia sono riportate le indicazioni e le note essenziali di tecnica chirurgica, arricchite da schemi e figure che mostrano le posizioni del paziente, le posizioni dei trocars oltre agli step principali della tecnica chirurgica, ed è completato da un mini-DVD che propone filmati delle principali tecniche descritte nel testo. La trattazione degli argomenti - tra i quali laparoscopia, toracoscopia, retroperitoneoscopia, robotica, realtà virtuale e problematiche medico legali - è stata affidata a un team di esperti italiani e internazionali del campo. Il volume è dedicato primariamente ai chirurghi pediatri, ma può essere di valido aiuto anche per i chirurghi generali, gli urologi e i chirurghi delle altre specialità che si trovano ad operare pazienti pediatrici.
