Look no further than Dr. Mihir Chitale, a highly skilled and experienced Thoracic surgeon offering advanced minimally invasive solutions for various conditions affecting the chest cavity.
What is Thoracoscopic Surgery?
Thoracoscopic Surgery, also known as Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), is a cutting-edge minimally invasive technique. It allows a surgeon to access the chest cavity—including the lungs, pleura, and esophagus—through a few small incisions between the ribs.
A tiny camera (thoracoscope) is inserted to provide a clear, magnified view, enabling complex procedures without the need for traditional open-chest surgery. This method offers numerous advantages, including:
* Reduced post-operative pain and discomfort.
* Faster recovery times and significantly shorter hospital stays.
* Smaller, less noticeable scars.
* Lower risk of infection and complications.
Types of Thoracoscopic Surgeries Offered by Dr. Chitale:
* Lung Biopsy: To obtain tissue samples for diagnosing conditions like lung cancer or interstitial lung disease.
* Lung Resection (Lobectomy/Wedge Resection): To surgically remove cancerous tumors or damaged sections of the lung.
* Pleural Procedures: To treat conditions like a collapsed lung (pneumothorax), fluid buildup (pleural effusion), or infection (empyema).
* Thymectomy: The minimally invasive removal of the thymus gland, often required for patients with Myasthenia Gravis.
* Esophageal Surgery: For treating certain disorders of the esophagus.
Benefits of Choosing Thoracoscopic Surgery:
* Reduced pain and discomfort in the chest wall.
* Shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery.
* Faster recovery time and quicker return to daily activities.
* Smaller, more cosmetically appealing scars.
* Lower risk of complications and blood loss.
