Berlin / Germany
In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of thoracoscopy by Jacobaeus

4th International Workshop
Berlin (Germany) 09 – 10 March 2012
“Medical thoracoscopy has historically always been performed in the pneumological departments under local anaesthesia. To enable chest physicians to integrate medical thoracoscopy under local anaesthesia into their clinical practice a dedicated training course was conceived. This workshop not only covers the theoretical background, above all it offers extensive hands-on opportunities for the single hole technique using the semi-flexible thoracoscope.”
