Thoracic Cancer Surgery
Thoracotomy techniques
- Wedge resection confiscates the tumor and tissue adjoining the cancer.
- Anatomical segmental resection confiscates the tumor, the blood vessels, the lymphatic drainage and the lung section where the tumor is traced.
- Lobectomy confiscates the whole lobe of the lung that has cancer and also the lymph nodes.
- Pneumonectomy confiscates the entire lung with the lymph nodes.
- Pleurectomy confiscates the internal lining of the chest cavity.
Minimally invasive techniques
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS):
During this process, the thoracic surgeon in Delhi inserts a long, reedy tube with an attached camera via a trivial incision in the chest. This device is called a thoracoscope. Special instruments also are introduced via trivial incisions in the chest. The surgeon operates while observing the video from the thoracoscope on high-resolution screens in the operating chamber.
Robotic thoracic surgery:
Like VATS, this process permits the surgeon to view the surgical location through a camera that is inserted in the chest. The surgeon maneuvers at a console, using controls that decipher the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into activities of the instruments introduced in the torso.
