থোরাকোস্কোপিক সার্জারি (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery or VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in the chest. In children, it is used to resect congenital lung cysts (CPAM), repair diaphragmatic hernias, or clear chest cavity infections (empyema) using tiny incisions.
It is indicated for children requiring thoracic surgical procedures, including:
Symptoms indicating the need for chest evaluation include:
Minimally invasive removal of a diseased lung lobe (CPAM) using 3mm instruments, preserving healthy lung tissue.
Advanced keyhole closure of the fistula connection and suturing the esophagus ends together in newborns.
Thoracoscopic clearing of pus and fibrous peel from the lungs to allow the lung to expand normally.
High-resolution CT scans of the chest to identify the blood vessels supplying the anomaly.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, using 3 tiny chest ports. The abnormal segment is dissected and removed.
A chest drain is kept for 24-48 hours. Children recover quickly with minimal pain and go home in 3 to 4 days.
"Our infant was diagnosed with a lung cyst (CPAM). Dr. Sujit performed a thoracoscopic lobectomy. Keyhole chest surgery on an infant is complex, but he did it flawlessly."
"Thoracoscopic repair of diaphragmatic hernia was done with minimal pain and tiny scars. Our baby recovered very quickly in the neonatal ICU."
"Dr. Chowdhary's minimally invasive approach to childhood chest conditions is world-class. Our son's lung function is completely normal now."
চৌধুরী ডঃ এর অস্ত্রোপচারের নির্ভুলতা অবিশ্বাস্য। একটি অত্যন্ত চাপযুক্ত সময়ে তাঁর আত্মবিশ্বাস আমাদের অপরিসীম মানসিক শান্তি দিয়েছে।
"আমরা শুধুমাত্র ডঃ চৌধুরীর জন্য অন্য শহর থেকে এসেছি। তাঁর পদ্ধতি খুব বৈজ্ঞানিক এবং পদ্ধতিগত অথচ খুব যত্নশীল।"
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery in the chest (VATS) requires extreme precision. Using thoracoscopic techniques allows for safe repairs with minimal recovery time.
It is a minimally invasive chest surgery using keyhole incisions to treat lung, pleural, and esophageal conditions.
Yes, specialized ultra-thin scopes are safe and effective even in newborns for congenital lung lesions.
Empyema drainage, lung biopsies, congenital lung malformations (CPAM), and mediastinal tumor removals.
Children experience much less pain than open thoracotomy, returning home within 2 to 4 days.
A temporary chest tube is often left for 1 to 2 days to drain fluid and air.
Minimal pain, avoided shoulder muscle damage, and virtually invisible scars.
Most children can resume school and light activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
Keyhole chest surgery avoids muscle damage and leads to quick recovery. Schedule a consultation today.
