Abstract
Direct diagnostic thoracoscopy under local anesthesia has been done in 122 patients. Compared with blind pleural biopsy and cytology, thoracoscopy proved to be of superior value in malignant pleurisy. Thoracoscopy improved also the possibility of a rapid and correct diagnosis in the tuberculous cases.
