Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Training
Bibliometrics

Background:

Thoracoscopic surgery training is crucial for medical education.
Understanding trends enhances training programs and future research.
Bibliometric analysis reveals research development in this field.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the effects of two thoracoscopic surgery training methods on new students.
To summarize research trends in thoracoscopic surgery training via bibliometrics.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 72 thoracic surgery students (observation vs. control groups).
Observation group: 3D CT reconstruction interpretation and surgical video review.
Control group: Conventional book-based anatomy instruction.
Bibliometric analysis of 956 articles (1992-2024) using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Shiny.

Main Results:

The observation group showed significantly better intraoperative performance (P < 0.05).
956 articles published from 1992-2024 by 5,217 authors from 2,603 institutions.
Hansen Henrik Jessen, University of Copenhagen, and *Annals of Thoracic Surgery* were prominent.
Keyword 'experience' was most frequent.

Conclusions:

3D CT and video training improves camera holder performance and accelerates training.
Clinical experience and new training methods are vital.
Future research should focus on advanced and simulation-based learning.
