    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Minimally invasive procedures
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Thoracoscopy was historically used for tuberculosis treatment before antibiotics.
    • Recent decades show a resurgence in thoracoscopy due to expanded indications.
    • It is a less invasive alternative to thoracotomy but carries specific risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the renewed importance of thoracoscopy.
    • To inform anesthesia providers about potential complications and necessary considerations.
    • To emphasize the need for tailored anesthetic techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of thoracoscopy's historical and current applications.
    • Analysis of potential anesthetic challenges.
    • Discussion of physiological changes during the procedure.
