Why Choose This Pathway

Minimally Invasive Approaches

Extensive use of VATS and robotic surgery allows for complex procedures with smaller incisions and no rib spreading.

Preserved Lung Function

Advanced tissue-sparing techniques designed to remove the disease safely while maximizing your remaining lung capacity.

Reduced Pain & Faster Recovery

Less trauma to the delicate chest wall significantly reduces post-operative pain and shortens hospital stays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach. The surgeon inserts a small video camera and specialized instruments through tiny incisions in the chest, avoiding the need to open the chest cavity completely.

While you will have a breathing tube to assist you during the surgery under general anesthesia, it is typically removed in the operating room as you wake up, or shortly after in the recovery area.

Recovery depends on the extent of your surgery. Minimally invasive procedures often allow patients to return to light daily activities within a few weeks, though a full recovery and return to strenuous exercise may take a month or more.
