abstract: This article is a state-of-the-art about the main diagnostic and therapeutic indications of paediatric surgical thoracoscopy. The authors stress the features of this surgery in children, in terms of anatomy, anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia. For experienced teams, almost any pleural, mediastinal or pulmonary lesion can be approached thoracoscopically.
