Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the chest. It is performed using a thoracoscope, a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached, which is inserted through a small incision in the chest wall. The thoracoscope allows the surgeon to view the inside of the chest cavity and perform procedures such as biopsies, removal of tumors, and repair of hernias. Thoracoscopy is often used to diagnose and treat conditions such as lung cancer, pleural effusions, and empyema. Thoracoscopy is a safe and effective procedure with a low risk of complications. It is often preferred over open chest surgery due to its minimally invasive nature and shorter recovery time. It is also less expensive than open chest surgery and can be performed in an outpatient setting. Companies in the Thoracoscopy market include Olympus Corporation, Stryker Corporation, Smith & Nephew, Karl Storz, and Richard Wolf GmbH. Show Less Read more
