Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)
VATS treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore
In video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, conditions in the chest are diagnosed and treated with minimally invasive surgery. During the surgery, a tiny camera, as well as surgical instruments, are inserted into your chest wall through one or more small incisions in your chest wall. During this procedure, a thoracoscope is used to transmit images of the inside of the chest to a video monitor. This monitor is then used to guide the surgeon during the procedure.
Preparation
In order to determine whether VATS treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore is a suitable option for you, you may need to undergo some tests. An imaging test, a laboratory test, a pulmonary function test, and an examination of the heart may be included in these tests. Your doctor will provide specific instructions to help you prepare for surgery.
Expectations
Most people undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery are given a general anaesthetic, which means they are unconscious during the procedure. A breathing tube will be placed down your throat into your trachea to provide oxygen to your lungs. The procedure is performed by inserting specialised surgical instruments through small incisions in the chest. Depending on the procedure's extent and circumstances, you may be in surgery for two to three hours and may require hospitalisation for a few days.
The results
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is typically less painful, less invasive, and requires less recovery time than a conventional open procedure. VATS may require an additional surgical procedure if the procedure aims to biopsy tissue. Consult with best doctors at Manipal Hospitals now.
