Videothoracoscopy, which is also applied in our hospital, is the imaging of the inside of the chest with the help of a video camera. After imaging the thorax in this way, it is possible to perform videothoracoscopic surgery with the help of various surgical instruments through the holes (ports) on the chest.
These surgeries include diagnostic procedures such as 'pleural biopsy', 'lung biopsy', 'pericardial biopsy', as well as 'sympathectomy', 'pneumothorax treatment', 'decortication and debridement', 'thymectomy', 'bullectomy'.
-assisted lung surgery (VATS) can be applied to almost all thoracic surgery procedures.
