Semi-rigid thoracoscopy for undiagnosed exudative pleural effusions: a comparative study

thoracoscopyis highly sensitive and accurate for detectingpleuraleffusions. However, most respiratory physicians are not familiar with the use of the more common rigidthoracoscopeor the flexible bronchoscope, which is difficult to manipulate within the pleural cavity. The semi-rigid thoracoscope combines the best features of the flexible and rigid instruments. Since the practice with this instrument is limited in China, the diagnostic utility of semi-rigid thoracoscopy (namelymedicalthoracoscopy) under local anesthesia for undiagnosed exudative pleural effusions was evaluated.
