Abstract
After the introduction of laparoscopic techniques, there was a real revival of thoracoscopy in the 1990s, which was renamed VATS—video-assisted thoracic surgery—using a camera, monitor and video equipment. VATS has been used for a variety of pulmonary, pleural and pericardial disorders, offering superb visualisation of the ipsilateral haemithorax (Van Schil et al. 1996).
