Pleuroscopy, also known as medical thoracoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to examine and biopsy the pleural cavity as well as to perform therapeutic interventions. This procedure has a near-perfect diagnostic accuracy in malignant pleural effusions and tuberculosis. With a mortality rate of 0.1%, the complication rate is low (2% - 5%) and usually mild (subcutaneous emphysema, bleeding, infection).  Objective : Increase knowledge of pleuroscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in lung disease. Method : This paper is based on a review of the literature on pleuroscopy. Conclusion : Pleuroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to examine and biopsy the pleural cavity, as well as for therapeutic intervention. Complications are uncommon and usually minor. Sugestion : Other articles are required to increase knowledge about pleuroscopy in order to obtain more knowledge.

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) provides a minimally invasive alternative to radical surgery for excision of benign and malignant rectal tumors. TEM aims to provide an alternative to conventional abdominal surgery (low anterior resection or abdominoperineal amputations), which carries not inconsiderable morbidity and mortality. Based on review of the literature and in the authors experience, this review present the method and indications for TEM.

Thoracoscopy is commonly used minimally invasive procedure in the field of interventional pulmonology. While medical thoracoscopy is the widely preferred modality, modifications to the technique and expansion in the scope of its utility have always challenged the conventional approach. We describe a modified technique of medical thoracoscopy in absence of pleural effusion also known as dry thoracoscopy under sedation and local anaesthesia.

Background: Pleuroscopy (medical thoracoscopy) is a minimally invasive procedure to inspect and perform a biopsy of the pleural space as well as to perform therapeutic interventions; pleural fluid drainage and pleurodesis. Material and Methods: In a retrospective study in Kasra Hospital, Tehran-Iran, the patients with exudative pleural effusion of unknown etiology who underwent pleuroscopy, were evaluated. These patients had negative smear and culture for infective agents. Also, the cytological review was negative for malignancy. Results: 62 patients had undergone pleuroscopy, of which 29 (46.7) were men. After the final evaluation, 47 patients (75.8%) had a definite pathologic diagnosis, of which 39 (82.9%) were cancer. Through these 39 cases, 18 cases (46.1%) had a history of the previously confirmed cancer, in which pleural pathology was consistent with the initial diagnosis. In 21 cases (53.9%), metastatic cancers were detected without a previous history. From a total of 47 cases with definite pathologic diagnosis, 8 cases (17%) had histopathologic evidence of granulomatous lesions consistent with tuberculosis and 15 patients (24%) showed non-specific inflammatory lesions. There was no morbidity and mortality among these patients. Discussion: Considering that pleuroscopy is a safe procedure with high diagnostic accuracy, malignancy is the most finding in the exudative pleural effusion of unknown etiology. This increases the importance of this procedure in these cases to prevent wasting the time and smear-negative anti-TB treatment.

Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign lesions usually left alone. However, lesions larger than 4 cm carry the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage and need treatment. Angiography and embolisation are the current standard of care particularly in patients with high operative risks. Angio-embolisation is a safe, minimally invasive procedure preserving maximum renal parenchyma, with the added advantage of preventing peri-procedural morbidity. Two cases of AML are presented in this case series. Key words: Angiomyolipoma, embolisation, renal
