This third edition offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of all areas of interventional pulmonology, a minimally invasive endoscopic method for diagnosing and treating lung disorders. The text is divided into nine sections on the major areas of interventional pulmonology, including basic bronchoscopy, lung cancer staging, tracheobronchial obstructions, endobronchial treatments for asthma and emphysema, as well as a new section on interventional procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapters explore specific procedures and techniques, including medical thoracoscopy, flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and electromagnetical navigation with coverage of history, indications and contraindications, up-to-date, evidence-based reviews, and recommendations. The COVID-19 pandemic has also changed medicine in many permanent ways, and that will be considered closely for every intervention. Additionally, there are new chapters on interventions in pediatric patients and artificial intelligence bronchoscopy, two topics that are not frequently covered. This inclusive volume concludes with a look towards both the past and future of interventional pulmonology with experimental techniques currently being tested. This volume is a must have for pulmonologists, interventional radiologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonary oncologists, ENT physicians, anesthesiologists, intensive care specialists, and their teams.

In the age of the World Wide Web, informed patients continue to surprise oncologists with detailed questions about popular tumor therapies. Although minimally invasive tumor therapies (MITT) have become daily clinical practice for palliative treatment of liver tumors, the acceptance of these palliative modalities still varies enormously. In addition, promising results have been published for in situ ablation of lung metastases, bone tumors, and renal cell carcinoma. This book gives an up-to-date overview of the popular techniques and clinical results of MITT, with a clarification of the actual indications including the size, tumor entities, and clinical benefits. Moreover, the book focuses on the prospectives and limitations of imaging methods - ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging - used for MITT.

La nascita e lo sviluppo della chirurgia laparoscopica e mini-invasiva è il cambiamento più importante avvenuto in chirurgia pediatrica negli ultimi 30 anni. Il grande impulso a questa branca della chirurgia è legato allo sforzo combinato di molti chirurghi pediatri pionieri nel campo delle tecniche chirurgiche dedicate esclusivamente all’età pediatrica e allo sviluppo tecnologico, che ha permesso la miniaturizzazione degli strumenti laparoscopici nati in origine solo per l’utilizzo su adulti. Questo volume permette una rapida consultazione grazie alla praticità della struttura: per ogni patologia sono riportate le indicazioni e le note essenziali di tecnica chirurgica, arricchite da schemi e figure che mostrano le posizioni del paziente, le posizioni dei trocars oltre agli step principali della tecnica chirurgica, ed è completato da un mini-DVD che propone filmati delle principali tecniche descritte nel testo. La trattazione degli argomenti - tra i quali laparoscopia, toracoscopia, retroperitoneoscopia, robotica, realtà virtuale e problematiche medico legali - è stata affidata a un team di esperti italiani e internazionali del campo. Il volume è dedicato primariamente ai chirurghi pediatri, ma può essere di valido aiuto anche per i chirurghi generali, gli urologi e i chirurghi delle altre specialità che si trovano ad operare pazienti pediatrici.
