Abstract
Recent improvements and miniaturization of instruments have encouraged a wider use of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy as a modality for diagnostic and operative procedures in pediatric age. The utility of thoracoscopy in pediatric patients with suspected thoracopulmonary oncological diseases is shown by diagnostic accuracy and, if necessary, the possibility to perform at the meantime a mininvasive surgery. We report the experience of our Institution in 16 patients with suspected thoraco-pulmonary oncological diseases and treated for this reason with thoracoscopy. Thoracoscopic is indicated in cases of suspected oncological diseases in children both for diagnosis and treatmentI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
