Thoracic Surgery
[edit]Thoracic surgery involves operations on organs within the chest (thorax), including the heart, lungs, esophagus, trachea, and diaphragm. Here are some key points about thoracic surgery:
Types of Thoracic Surgery:-
[edit]- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): This is the most common heart surgery, used to treat coronary artery disease.
- Lobectomy: Removal of a lobe of the lung, often performed to treat lung cancer.
- Esophagectomy: Removal of part or all of the esophagus, typically for esophageal cancer.
- Heart Valve Repair/Replacement: Procedures to fix or replace damaged heart valves.
- Lung Transplant: Replacing a diseased lung with a healthy one from a donor.
Procedures and Techniques:-
[edit]- Open Surgery: Involves larger incisions to access the chest organs.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Uses smaller incisions and tools like video cameras (VATS - Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) or robotic systems to perform the surgery.
Conditions Treated
[edit]- Lung Cancer
- Heart Disease
- Esophageal Disorders
- Congenital Heart Defects
- Aneurysms in the Chest
Recovery and Outlook
