Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with suspected pleural disease who have been referred for thoracoscopic pleural biopsy
* Age: Adults aged 18 years and older
* Patients should have undergone necessary preoperative evaluations, including imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray, CT scan) that indicate a need for biopsy.

Exclusion Criteria

* Contraindications to Thoracoscopic Biopsy: Patients with contraindications to thoracoscopic biopsy
* Infeasibility of Procedure: Patients with anatomical or physiological factors that make thoracoscopic biopsy technically unfeasible or unsafe (e.g., severe pleural adhesions or distorted anatomy).
* Alternative Diagnoses: Patients who have been definitively diagnosed with a condition that does not require thoracoscopic biopsy for further evaluation.
* Pregnancy: Pregnant women may be excluded due to potential risks to the fetus and the need for specific procedural considerations.
* Inability to Provide Consent: Patients who are unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment, language barriers, or other reasons.
* Participation in Concurrent Studies: Patients currently participating in other clinical studies that could interfere with the outcomes of this study or affect their eligibility.
