Thoracoscopy

Thoracoscopy, also known as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It involves small incisions and the use of a thoracoscope, a tiny camera, to visualize and access the chest cavity. Patients undergoing thoracoscopy often experience less scarring, reduced pain, and a faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open chest procedures. The procedure’s precision and minimal invasiveness contribute to improved patient outcomes and an enhanced overall surgical experience.
