Résumé

Pleural disease incidence is continuing to rise internationally and management is becoming increasingly complex. There are now many more options for patients, with access to thoracic ultrasound, image-guided biopsies, indwelling pleural catheters, and local-anesthetic pleuroscopy (thoracoscopy). Safety reports have also highlighted the need for specialist operator knowledge and skill. Consequently, the development of a specialized pleural service can manage patients entirely as an outpatient, limit the number of procedures, and improve patient safety, it also fosters opportunities to enhance specialist procedural skills, engage in clinical research, and reduce the costs of care.
