    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Pathology

    Context:

    • Challenging cases of diffuse or circumscribed lung cortex pathology.
    • Diagnostic uncertainty in patients with complex respiratory conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility and safety of thoracoscopic pulmonary biopsy.
    • To determine the efficacy of minimally invasive biopsy in resolving diagnostic dilemmas.

    Summary:

    • Pulmonary biopsies were performed using thoracoscopy on 16 patients with unresolved diagnostic issues.
    • A definitive diagnosis was achieved in 14 cases (87.5%), involving various lung cortex pathologies.
    • The procedure was associated with no major complications.

    Impact:
