[The role of videothoracoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of metastatic tumoral pleuritis].
The experience of diagnosis and treatment of 108 patients, suffering malignant metastatic exudative pleuritis, is presented. Different variants of pleuropulmonary biopsy, performed under local anesthesia and narcosis, are suggested. Special attention is dedicated to various methods of pleurodesis, performed as a variant of palliative treatment and prophylaxis of exudation. Comparative characteristics on efficacy of various methods of pleurodesis and the others are adduced. Simple methods, using chemopreparations, must be preferred while choosing the pleurodesis method. All the patients are alive.
