Abstract
A thoracotomy is still required for many procedures but less invasive procedures are becoming more popular. These include thoracoscopic approaches to pericardiectomy, lung lobectomy, and the use of implantable coils to treat patent ductus arteriosus. This chapter looks at preoperative evaluation, preparation, surgical approach, analgesia, monitoring, individual conditions, thoracoscopy and postoperative care.

Diagram of the Arndt endobronchial blocker system. The adapter is connected to the endotracheal tube and the anaesthetic breathing system is attached to the right-angled port. The endoscope can then be put down the central port while the endobronchial blocking catheter is fed down the angled side port. The loop is slipped over the end of the bronchoscope and the catheter and endoscope can be advanced together. The balloon is shown inflated to illustrate its shape but it would not normally be inflated until placed into the airway. Once it is in place the endoscope is removed and the central port closed. The screw cap on the side port is tightened to fix the catheter in place. The blocked lung can be deflated, or positive end-expiratory pressure can be applied through the catheter.
