Abstract

Thoracoscopy is being increasingly utilized in stable patients to manage both blunt and penetrating injuties. The case of a patient who presented with a knife impaled in the chest is reported. The knife was able to be removed under thoracoscopic guidance, avoiding thoracotomy. © 2008 Pulsus Group Inc. All rights reserved.
