ResumoAbstract Video-assisted thoracic surgery or thoracoscopy has proved to be valuable in many settings in thoracic surgery. The use of video-assisted thoracic surgery in trauma has been limited, especially with respect to penetrating trauma. We report the use of thoracoscopy to remove intrathoracic fragments of glass and avert the need for a thoracotomy. (Ann Thorac Surg 1997;63:1783–5)
