A detailed guide to the latest endoscopic techniques in interventional pulmonology
In Medical Thoracoscopy/Pleuroscopy: Manual and Atlas, international experts explain the current methodology and
demonstrate different technical approaches to medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy (MT/P) in the diagnosis and treatment of
pleuropulmonary diseases.
A combination of instructive manual and atlas, the 'Manual', presents clinical cases with indications, techniques, and
outcomes for each procedure. In the 'Atlas', endoscopic photographs demonstrate the application of this minimally
invasive technique in various pathologies, from pleural effusion to various manifestations of lung cancer.
