1 Needlescopic versus conventional video-assisted thoracic surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax: a comparative study  Jin-Shing Chen, MD, Hsao-Hsun Hsu, MD, Shuenn-Wen Kuo, MD, Pi-Ru Tsai, RN, Robert J Chen, MD, MPH, Jang-Ming Lee, MD, PhD, Yung-Chie Lee, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 75, Issue 4, Pages (April 2003) DOI: /S (02)

2 Fig 1 Two cameras with independent sets of videothoracoscopic equipment and monitors, one for 10-mm videothoracoscopy (Monitor 1) and the other for needlescopic videothoracoscopy (Monitor 2), were used concomitantly to improve the vision and shorten the time of operation. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (02) )

3 Fig 2 Operative technique of needlescopic video-assisted thoracic surgery. (A) A 10-mm, 30-degree telescope and two mini-endograspers were used to identify the bulla. (B) After the bulla was identified and fixed, a needlescope was inserted through the lower mini-port. The bulla was resected by an endoscopic stapler introduced through the chest tube wound. (12 mm = 12 mm disposable trocar [US Surgical, Norwalk, CT]). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (02) )
