Abstract

Technical possibilities of operative thoracoscopy are demonstrated on the occasion of the presentation of an endoscopic resection of a benign intrathoracic tumour. Thoracic video-endoscopy is definitely a useful constituent of the treatment of defined pleural or pulmonary processes, since it can be used in addition to biopsy (which serves to assure the correct diagnosis) without rendering the diagnostic procedure more complicated to any significant extent.
