Minimal access thoracic surgery in the pediatric population
چکیده انگلیسی
Thoracoscopy was initially described for use in children to obtain pulmonary biopsy samples in the immunocompromised patient. With refinements in technique, development of better instrumentation, and advances in pediatric anesthesia, there are now many diagnostic and therapeutic indications for the use of thoracoscopy in children. One of the most common indications includes pleural debridement for empyema. Many centers consider this the optimal approach for biopsy of mediastinal lesions and excision of bronchogenic or duplication cysts. The technique is useful for pleural disorders, such as spontaneous pneumothorax and chylothorax. Thoracoscopy has been used to achieve exposure for spinal diskectomy in children with thoracic scoliosis, and newer techniques are being developed in performing anatomic lobectomies, repair of esophageal atesias, and closure of diaphragmatic hernias. The role of the robot in pediatric thoracoscopy is still in the early stages of definition.
