    Author: Lee P, Mathur PN, Colt HG.
    Journal: Respiration; 2010; 79(3):177-86. PubMed ID: 20093848.
    Abstract:
    Thoracoscopy provides the physician a window into the pleural space, and enables the biopsy of the parietal pleura under direct visual guidance, chest tube placement and pleurodesis for recurrent pleural effusions or pneumothoraces in selected patients. In this review, we discuss the advances that have been achieved in thoracoscopy since its inception more than a century ago.
