Thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on surgical procedures related to the chest, specifically the organs and structures within the thoracic cavity. The thoracic cavity is the space within the chest that houses vital organs such as the lungs, heart, esophagus, trachea, and major blood vessels. Thoracic surgeons are highly trained medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and performing surgical interventions on conditions affecting these organs and structures.
In Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, you can find specialized thoracoscopic surgery clinics and hospitals that offer VATS procedures for various lung and chest conditions. Video-Assisted thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in the field of thoracic surgery to perform procedures on the lungs, chest, and related structures. It involves the use of a small camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions in the chest.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is performed at Dr. Nikhil Rane's Thoracic Lungs Surgery Clinic in a minimally invasive manner. Here is an overview of how VATS is typically performed:
Preparation:- Before the surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests and medical assessments. The surgical team discusses the procedure, its benefits, and potential risks with the patient.
Anesthesia :- The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure they are unconscious and pain-free during the surgery.
Incisions :- Small incisions (usually 1 to 4 cm in length) are made in the chest wall. These incisions serve as entry points for the camera (endoscope) and surgical instruments.
Camera Insertion:The surgeon inserts a thin, flexible camera through one of the incisions. The camera provides a magnified view of the inside of the chest cavity on a monitor in the operating room.
Procedure:- The surgeon performs the necessary surgical steps, which can vary depending on the specific condition being treated. VATS is versatile and can be used for lung biopsies, lung resections, pleural surgeries, and more.
Closure: After completing the surgery, the surgeon removes the instruments and carefully closes the incisions. Sutures or surgical staples may be used to secure the incisions
