Examples of the word in text

Pleuroscopy is an increasingly used procedure in medical practice. During pleuroscopy, an endoscope is inserted into the pleural space through small incisions in the chest wall. This endoscope has a camera on the tip, which allows the doctor to visualize the pleural region on a monitor. Thus, it is possible to identify and diagnose diseases such as pneumothorax, pleural spill, tumors and infections. In addition to diagnosis, pleuroscopy can also be used to perform therapeutic procedures such as drainage of accumulated liquids in the pleural space.
