This is the continuation of the lesson mesothelioma diagnosis using many techniques. 
VIDEO-ASSISTED THORACOSCOPIC SURGERY (VATS) TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE MESOTHELIOMA:  Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is used in the recent years is one of the good number far and wide used paraphernalia in the assessment of mesothelioma cancer. The biopsy samples of the nodules, pleural lining, masses, and pleural fluid can at present without difficulty be there gotten hold of using VATS, a simple invasive procedure.

At the same time as, the supplementary therapies for example pleurodesis (talc) for pleural effusions consider to be done. At the same time as under general anesthesia of the patient a quite a lot of small incisions called ports are created through the chest wall.

In this procedure the surgeon then inserts a small camera, via a scope, into one incision, and other surgical instruments used to retrieve tissue samples into the other incisions. By looking at a video screen showing the camera images, the surgeon is able to complete whatever procedures are necessary. In many cases, this video-assisted technique is having the capability to put back thoracotomy, which requires a much bigger opening to put on admittance to the chest cavity.

This procedure is a simply invasive one. The patient the largest part time and again has less pain after the surgery and possibly a smaller upturn period.

THORACOSCOPY TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE MESOTHELIOMA:  When a patient with pleural mesothelioma the physician possibly seem to be inside the chest opening with a thoracoscope, which is an tube like instrument. The thoracoscope will then be inserted through the chest wall into the chest between two ribs. The patient will be administered a local anesthesia for painkilling purposes.

Thoracentesis or thoracocentesis:

It is a procedure done to remove the fluid collected in the chest by the doctor and drains the fluid out by putting a needle into the chest. The doctor uses a gentle suction to remove the fluid. The patient's discomfort due to the collection of fluid is controlled.

PERITONEOSCOPY TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE MESOTHELIOMA:
Paracentesis: When a patient is affected with peritoneal mesothelioma the physician possibly will look within the abdomen with a unique apparatus known as a peritoneoscope. The peritoneoscope is put into an notch created by the doctor in the abdomen. This analysis is by and large done in the hospital after administering a local anesthesia to the patient. If fluid has collected in the abdomen of the patient, the physician possibly will drain the fluid out of the body by inserting a needle into the abdomen using a moderate suction and remove the fluid.
