Thoracic Surgery at Namostute Hospital
Thoracic surgery is a medical procedure that focuses on the treatment of conditions and diseases in the chest cavity, including the lungs, esophagus, diaphragm, and mediastinum (the area between the lungs). This type of surgery may be necessary for a variety of conditions, such as lung cancer, pneumonia, emphysema, and injuries to the chest.
At Namostute Hospital, our team of experienced thoracic surgeons specializes in the latest techniques and procedures for treating thoracic conditions. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including:
- Lung cancer surgery: Our team is skilled in performing both open and minimally invasive surgeries to remove cancerous tumors in the lungs.
- Thoracic endoscopy: This procedure allows our surgeons to visualize the inside of the chest cavity using a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached. It can be used to diagnose and treat various conditions, such as lung infections and esophageal disorders.
- Thoracoscopy: Also known as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), this minimally invasive procedure involves making small incisions in the chest to access and treat the affected area.
- Lobectomy: This is a type of surgery where a lobe of the lung is removed. It may be necessary for treating lung cancer, severe infections, or other conditions.
- Decortication: This procedure involves removing the scar tissue that forms on the surface of the lung due to conditions like tuberculosis or lung abscesses.
- Tracheal surgery: Our team is skilled in performing surgeries to repair or replace the trachea (windpipe). This may be necessary for conditions like tracheal stenosis or tumors in the trachea.
- Thoracic traumas: We have a dedicated team of surgeons who specialize in emergency thoracic surgeries for patients who have suffered chest injuries.
At Namostute Hospital, we use state-of-the-art equipment and surgical techniques to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Our team works closely with other specialists, such as pulmonologists, to provide comprehensive care for individuals with thoracic conditions.
