“VATS” stands for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique used for procedures in the chest (thoracic) cavity. VATS utilizes small incisions and a thoracoscope, which is a type of endoscope with a camera, to perform surgeries without the need for a large open incision.
Minimally Invasive: VATS is often minimally
Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is a form of minimally invasive surgery where a robot is used to perform surgical procedures. The system is controlled by a surgeon who uses a console to manipulate the robotic arms and instruments. The robot translates the surgeon’s movements into precise actions within the patient’s body.
Is a surgical procedure used to examine the mediastinum, which is the central compartment of the chest located between the lungs. This procedure involves making a small incision at the base of the neck or above the breastbone to access the mediastinum.
A mediastinoscope, a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and camera on the end, is then inserted through the incision to visualize and biopsy tissues in the mediastinal area.
A thoracotomy is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made into the chest wall to access the thoracic (chest) cavity.
This procedure allows surgeons to directly access the organs within the chest, such as the heart, lungs, esophagus, and major blood vessels.
This is the most common type. The bronchoscope is flexible and can be directed through the bronchial tree. It is typically used for diagnostic purposes.
This involves a rigid bronchoscope and is often used for therapeutic interventions or when a more rigid instrument is needed for certain procedures.
Bronchoscopy is used to examine the airways, obtain tissue samples for biopsy, and diagnose conditions such as infections, tumors, or inflammatory lung diseases. In addition to diagnostics, bronchoscopy can be used for therapeutic interventions. For example, removing foreign objects, treating airway blockages, or placing stents.
