Minimally Invasive Video Assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) Thoracic Surgeries: Precise and Less Invasive Approach
At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we offer Minimally Invasive Video Assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) surgeries as an alternative to traditional open surgeries for various thoracic conditions. VATS procedures utilise small incisions and a video-assisted approach to perform surgical interventions, resulting in less pain, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic outcomes.
VATS surgeries involve using a thoracoscope, a tiny camera inserted through a small incision. This camera provides high-definition imaging of the thoracic cavity, allowing the surgeon to visualise the targeted area and perform the procedure with precision. Additional small incisions are made to insert specialised instruments for the surgical intervention.
The key aspects of Minimally Invasive VATS Thoracic Surgeries include:
1. Reduced Trauma and Pain: VATS procedures result in smaller incisions, reduced trauma to the surrounding tissues, and decreased postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgeries. This leads to a quicker recovery and improved patient comfort.
2. Enhanced Safety: The high-definition imaging provided by the thoracoscope allows the surgeon to visualise the surgical site in detail, minimizing the risk of complications and enhancing patient safety.
3. Cosmetically Appealing: The small incisions used in VATS procedures result in less scarring, leading to improved cosmetic outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
