Medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy has become, after bronchoscopy, the second most commonly utilized endoscopic procedure in interventional pulmonology. Due to their common origin, medical thoracoscopy/pleuroscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) are quite similar procedures technically. In contrast to the prevailing attitude that it should predominantly be performed by interventional pulmonologists, we believe that, like all hybrid-in-nature techniques, it should be implemented as part of a combined specialist care service/team. Herewith, we describe our attempt to establish a multidisciplinary pleural disease program during a difficult economic period for our country, comprising thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists and anesthesiologists, all of whom brought in their experience, expertise and resources to establish and develop the service resulting in a hybridization of the technique, with, as reported, quite favorable results.
经支气管镜检查后，胸腔镜检查/胸膜镜检查已成为介入性肺病学中第二常用的内镜检查程序。由于它们的共同起源，胸腔镜检查/胸膜镜检查和电视辅助胸腔手术 (VATS) 在技术上非常相似。与普遍认为它主要应由介入性肺病学家进行的观点相反，我们认为，与所有混合性质的技术一样，它应该作为综合专家护理服务/团队的一部分来实施。在此，我们描述了在我国经济困难时期，我们试图建立一个多学科的胸膜疾病项目的尝试，该项目包括胸外科医生、肺病学家和麻醉师，他们都带来了自己的经验、专业知识和资源来建立和发展该服务，从而导致技术的混合，据报道，取得了相当有利的结果。
