Operations of various organs
Trachea: Surgeries on the trachea are performed to treat stenosis (narrowing), tracheobronchial dyskenesia (congenital breathing disorder), and other conditions.
Lungs: Lung surgeries can be performed to remove tumors, treat emphysema, perform lung transplants, and more.
Mediastinum: Surgeries on the mediastinum are performed to remove tumors, congenital anomalies, cysts, and more.
Diaphragm: Diaphragm surgeries are performed to treat hernias, trauma, and more.
Esophagus: Esophageal surgeries are performed to treat cancer, GERD, achalasia (difficulty swallowing), and others.
Chest wall: Surgeries on the chest wall are performed to treat fractures, deformities, tumors, and more.
Types of breast surgery
Open surgery: A traditional method using a larger incision that provides direct access to the operative field.
Minimally invasive techniques: Newer methods using small incisions and a video camera to monitor the operative field.
Mini-invasive methods: Use video images for better visualization of the operative field. They are also performed through several small incisions instead of one large one. They do not require incisions in the ribs or sternum, resulting in less trauma.
Variants of minimally invasive methods
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS): Uses micro-instruments, small incisions (2-3 cm) and a miniature video camera to monitor the chest cavity.
Robotic Thoracic Surgery: Similar to VATS, but with a robotic system that allows the surgeon to control the robots from a console. The robots perform precise movements with the tools, providing greater accuracy and delicacy.
Advantages of minimally invasive methods:
- Minimal tissue damage.
- Fewer complications.
- Shorter hospital stay.
- Less pain after surgery.
- Smaller scars.
- Faster recovery.
- Higher patient satisfaction.
