RESUMO

A toracoscopia assume cada vez mais um papel importante no diagnóstico e terapêutica de muitos doentes com derrames pleurais recidivantes. É um método simples e bern tolerado, com elevado valor diagnóstico, permitindo uma intervenção mais precoce. Além do diagnóstico permite controlar derrames pleurais recidivantes e malignos, o que poderá complementarmente ter importância de ordem clínica no tratamento e melboria da qualidade de vida do doente. Apesar do número de complicações reduzido e da sua pequena importância, pensamos que se trata de uma técnica a indicar em base individual, tendo em conta o risco/beneficio. Os autores abordam a técnica e metodologia utilizada na toracoscopia, suas contra-indicações, complicações e indicações, fazendo uma revisão teórica dos resultados descritos na literatura e realçando a modalidade anestésica que utilizam: a anestesia local com ajuda de pré-medicação.

SUMMARY

Diagnostic thoracoscopy and sometimes therapeutic, assumes an important role in the etiology and symptoms relief of many patients with recurrent pleural effusions. It's a simple and well tolerable method, with high diagnostic yield, that contributes to an earlier intervention. It can control malignant and recurrent pleural effusions, which will have an important role in the treatment and quality of the patient's life. In spite of the number of complications being small and of lack of importance, we think that the use of thoracoscopy is to be decided in an Individual basis, weighting risks and benefits. The authors summarise the technique and methodology, their contraindications, complications and indications, reviewing some published results, emphasising the anaesthesia method and some information supporting local anaesthesia with pré-medication.
