Respiratory failure of unclear origin is the most common indication for thoracoscopic lung biopsy. We aim to choose the biopsy site according to the preoperative imaging and the intraoperative aspect of the lung. The lung biopsy is taken either via endoscopic loop tie or an endoscopic stapler. Biopsies should be not smaller than 1 cm3 and we take at least two biopsies from two different locations for most indications.
