Thoracic surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on surgical treatment of conditions affecting the chest, including the lungs, esophagus, and other thoracic organs. It encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating diseases such as lung cancer, thoracic trauma, and pleural diseases.
Thoracic surgery is used to manage various conditions, including:
Lung Cancer: Surgical removal of lung tumors through procedures like lobectomy and pneumonectomy.
Esophageal Cancer: Surgery to remove part or all of the esophagus.
Pleural Diseases: Management of pleural effusions, pneumothorax, and pleural mesothelioma.
Mediastinal Tumors: Removal of tumors in the mediastinum (area between the lungs).
Thoracic Trauma: Repair of chest wall injuries, rib fractures, and other thoracic traumas.
Hiatal Hernia & GERD: Surgical correction of reflux disorders and hiatal hernias.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (VATS & RATS): Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) use small incisions for quicker recovery and reduced complications.
Lung Resection: Lobectomy, segmentectomy, and pneumonectomy to remove diseased lung tissue.
Esophagectomy: Surgical removal of the esophagus for cancer or severe reflux disease.
Pleurodesis: A procedure to prevent recurrent pleural effusions or pneumothorax.
Chest Wall Reconstruction: Repair of congenital or traumatic defects in the chest wall.
Improved Survival Rates: Effective for early-stage lung and esophageal cancers.
Minimally Invasive Options: Reduced pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Relief from debilitating symptoms like breathlessness and pain.
