Direct diagnostic thoracoscopy
Ann Thorac Surg.
1976 Jun.
Abstract
Direct diagnostic thoracoscopy under general anesthesia using the mediastinoscope or bronchoscope has been done in 40 patients. No deaths or serious morbidity occurred. We recommend the use of this technique when other efforts fail to establish a diagnosis in patients with pleural disease.
