Summary

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes of thoracoscopic pleural biopsy in the management of pleural diseases.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

Patients with suspected pleural disease who have been referred for thoracoscopic pleural biopsy
Age: Adults aged 18 years and older
Patients should have undergone necessary preoperative evaluations, including imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray, CT scan) that indicate a need for biopsy.

Exclusion Criteria6

Contraindications to Thoracoscopic Biopsy: Patients with contraindications to thoracoscopic biopsy
Infeasibility of Procedure: Patients with anatomical or physiological factors that make thoracoscopic biopsy technically unfeasible or unsafe (e.g., severe pleural adhesions or distorted anatomy).
Alternative Diagnoses: Patients who have been definitively diagnosed with a condition that does not require thoracoscopic biopsy for further evaluation.
Pregnancy: Pregnant women may be excluded due to potential risks to the fetus and the need for specific procedural considerations.
Inability to Provide Consent: Patients who are unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment, language barriers, or other reasons.
Participation in Concurrent Studies: Patients currently participating in other clinical studies that could interfere with the outcomes of this study or affect their eligibility.
