Surgery plays a major role in the complete cure of lung cancer. With the advent of technology and the latest developments, Minimally Invasive Thoracoscopic Surgery has become the mainstay of treatment and helps the patient to recover at the earliest.
-
Minimal invasive Thoracoscopic surgery includes Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) and Robotic Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (RATS) which can be multi-portal where two to three holes are made in the chest or uni-portal where the complete surgery is performed through a single hole.
-
Other surgical procedures include:
-
Segmental resection –Removal of a portion of the lung lobe, but not an entire lobe.
-
Lobectomy – Removal of the entire lobe of one lung
-
Sleeve resection – Lung parenchyma preservation surgery
-
Pneumonectomy – Removal of an entire lung
