Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a type of surgery for diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions involving the chest (thorax). It is a minimally invasive surgery where instead of conventional 15-20 cm cut on the chest, 3 smaller cuts each around 1-4 cm are used to perform the complete surgery. The surgery is done using a special camera (called a thoracoscope) and other long slender tools through these cuts. The complete surgery performed as would be done in conventional open surgery but without the need of large incisions and any rib spreading.
VATS is employed to treat a variety of diseases of the chest that require surgery. These conditions include diseases of the pleura, lung, esophagus, mediastinum, chest wall, and diaphragm. VATS is often used to perform biopsies of the lung, lymph nodes, tissue around the lung, tissue near the heart, or the esophagus to aid in diagnosing various diseases. The Best Thoracic Surgeon in India utilizes advanced techniques like VATS to ensure precise and effective care.
The age of the patient, other coexisting medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease or other illnesses and the primary illness will help determine your risk for different complications. Please do not hesitate to ask your surgeon about your specific risks. An experienced team will take measures to reduce these complications by proper preoperative evaluation and optimization, immaculate surgical technique and aggressive post-operative monitoring and care.
