Welcome to Dr. Sunil Lung Care Center, where we are committed to delivering state-of-the-art respiratory care to our patients. One of the advanced services we specialize in is Thoracoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure that allows for precise diagnosis and treatment of lung and pleural conditions.
Thoracoscopy is a sophisticated medical procedure designed to provide a comprehensive view of the surface of your lungs and the surrounding pleural space. It involves the use of a specialized instrument known as a thoracoscope, equipped with a thin camera and a light source. Here’s how thoracoscopy works:
The thoracoscope is gently inserted into your chest through a small incision, usually between your ribs. This enables our skilled medical team to visualize and examine various structures, including the surface of your lungs, pleura (the lining around the lungs), diaphragm, esophagus, and chest wall.
Thoracoscopy not only allows for detailed inspection but also facilitates the collection of tissue samples or lymph nodes. These samples are vital for the accurate diagnosis of lung conditions such as cancer, infections, and inflammatory disorders.
Thoracoscopy is often a component of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive chest surgery. During VATS, our providers can project real-time images onto a video monitor in the operating room. This advanced technology enhances precision during surgical procedures, minimizing discomfort and recovery time for patients.
Thoracoscopy is a powerful diagnostic and treatment tool for lung and pleural conditions. If you or a loved one is facing respiratory health concerns, early and accurate diagnosis is crucial. Schedule a Thoracoscopy at Dr. Sunil Lung Care Center, and let us provide you with the precise care your lung health deserves.
