While thoracic paracentesis had existed for millennia, it was not until the 1800s that advances in pathological understanding and surgical techniques were made. This book details the state of thoracic paracentesis during the 1800s, outlining the debates over its use and the methods of the procedure. The author presents historical cases and their outcomes, discussing the evolution of instruments and techniques. Importantly, this treatment directly preceded the modern thoracic surgery which is an essential element of modern medicine.
