To describe the technique of pleuroscopy, its clinical uses such as diagnosis of exudative pleural effusion, treatment of pleural infection, treatment of pneumothorax, and diagnosis and pleurodesis of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Also to describe the newer techniques developed such as minothoracoscopy, semirigid thoracoscopy, narrow band imaging pleuroscopy, infrared pleuroscopy, autofluorescence pleuroscopy.
We searched the pubmed the last decade for publications with the key words pleuroscopy, medical thoracoscopy, pneumothorax and pleuroscopy, malignant pleural mesothelioma, minothoracoscopy, semirigid thoracoscopy, autofluorescence pleuroscopy.
Medical thoracoscopy is the method of choice for investigation of the undiagnosed exudative pleural effusions. Newer techniques, such as narrow band imaging thoracoscopy, infrared thoracoscopy, autofluorescence thoracoscopy are offering a promising future for medical thoracoscopy.
描述胸腔镜检查技术，其临床应用，如渗出性胸腔积液的诊断、胸膜感染的治疗、气胸的治疗以及恶性胸膜间皮瘤的诊断和胸膜固定术。还要描述所开发的更新技术，如微型胸腔镜检查、半刚性胸腔镜检查、窄带成像胸腔镜检查、红外胸腔镜检查、自体荧光胸腔镜检查。
我们在过去十年中检索了PubMed，以查找关键词为胸腔镜检查、医学胸腔镜检查、气胸与胸腔镜检查、恶性胸膜间皮瘤、微型胸腔镜检查、半刚性胸腔镜检查、自体荧光胸腔镜检查的出版物。
医学胸腔镜检查是未确诊的渗出性胸腔积液检查的首选方法。更新的技术，如窄带成像胸腔镜检查、红外胸腔镜检查、自体荧光胸腔镜检查为医学胸腔镜检查提供了光明的前景。
