Video 78-01: Radical Pleurectomy

From: Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e

Video recording from intraoperative thoracoscopic view of radical pleurectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma performed through a thoracotomy incision. This surgical therapy for MPM is an alternative to extrapleural pneumonectomy. The procedure often takes up to several hours and involves extrapleural dissection, dissection of the diaphragm and pericardium, visceral pleurectomy, and lymph node dissection.
