We, here at CUSP are equipped with the technologically updated faculty for a range of advanced medical treatments. Our unit offering VATS treatment in India is headed by professionally experienced and intensively trained surgeons. The leading surgeons are assisted by a varied staff comprising of lab technicians, physicians, dieticians, physical therapists, and nurses. Enabling the advantages of technology with efficient traditional recovery patterns, we establish a perfect integration of science with experience. We have mentioned some Frequently Asked Questions to highlight the important aspects related to VATS in detail.
VATS which stands for ‘video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery’ is a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approach to provide treatment for problems with the thorax. The methodology for performing VATS allows a clear view of the thorax which was not possible with the traditional forms of a formal thoracotomy incision. A patient operated with VATS observes less scarring, less pain, shorter stay at the hospital, less postoperative morbidity, and quick recovery.
VATS for biopsy of chest cancers helps in identifying the cause and extent of the chest cancer. After the biopsy is complete, the doctors can follow up with a surgical approach to treat the evaluated condition.
Treatment related to pulmonary, mediastinal, and pleural pathology uses VATS. VATS serve various purposes both for diagnosis and treatment. The following are some of the conditions/ surgeries done by VATS:
VATS is performed in a step-by-step procedure with a set standard. The procedure follows the below-mentioned steps:
Unlike formal thoracotomy procedures, VATS do not require long hours of surgical interventions to reach successful results. Instead, the operation lasts for maximum up to two hours on an average basis.
Air leak, allergic reaction to anesthesia, atelectasis, bleeding, blood clot, empyema, fever, heart arrhythmias, infections, nerve damage, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, and shock can be experienced after VATS. Certain preventive measures such as a pre-anesthetic assessment, prescription of antibiotics, and strict regulation to rehabilitation program can help in minimizing the risks of complications and side-effects after the operation.
Here at CUSP, the unit of VATS treatment offers a pioneering section with progressive services led by white-collar experienced surgeons.
