Thoracic Surgery
Thoracic Surgery is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the organs within the thoracic cavity, primarily the lungs, esophagus, and chest wall. These conditions can range from lung cancer and esophageal disorders to mediastinal tumors and chest trauma. Thoracic surgeons employ a variety of surgical techniques to address these conditions, aiming to improve respiratory function, alleviate symptoms, and enhance overall thoracic health.
At Srinivasa Hospital, the Thoracic Surgery service is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with thoracic disorders. Led by a team of highly skilled thoracic surgeons,
the department offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions tailored to each patient’s specific needs. With state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology, including imaging modalities such as CT scans and PET scans, patients receive precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
The service at Srinivasa Hospital adopts a multidisciplinary approach to thoracic care, involving collaboration among thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists. This collaborative effort ensures that patients benefit from a comprehensive evaluation and receive optimal care throughout their treatment journey.
The department specializes in both traditional open thoracic surgery and minimally invasive thoracic procedures. Minimally invasive techniques, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, offer advantages such as smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and reduced risk of complications for patients.
Research and education are integral components of the Thoracic Surgery service at Srinivasa Hospital. The department actively participates in clinical trials and research studies to advance the field of thoracic surgery and improve treatment options for patients. Additionally, educational programs ensure that medical professionals stay updated on the latest advancements in thoracic surgery, ultimately benefiting patient care and outcomes.
