Abstract
Hydrothorax during peritoneal dialysis is a very tedious complication. Many authors have described techniques of performing diagnosis and therapeutic procedures to take care of these complications. We describe a method to perform diagnosis and therapy by videothoracoscopy. Videothoracoscopy permits identification and closure of the tiny flaws in the diaphragm.
