Thoracoscopy Treatment in Hyderabad

Thoracoscopy is a procedure where the sleep medicine doctors in Hyderabad uses to look at the space inside the chest (outside of the lungs). This is done with a thoracoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and a small video camera on the end. The tube is put in through a small cut made near the lower end of the shoulder blade between the ribs. Thoracoscopy is sometimes done as part of a VATS procedure, which is short for video assisted thoracic surgery.

Thoracoscopy can be used by pulmonology doctors in Hyderabad to look at an abnormal area seen on an imaging test (such as a chest x-ray or CT scan). It also can be used to take biopsy samples of lymph nodes, abnormal lung tissue, the chest wall, or the lining of the lung (pleura). It is commonly used for people with mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Thoracoscopy can sometimes be used to treat small lung cancers by removing just the part of the lung that contains the tumor (wedge resection) or the lobe of a lung (lobectomy) if the tumor is larger. In certain cases, it may also be used to treat cancers of the esophagus or thymus gland.

Thoracoscopy can be done to remove excess fluid that is around the lung and causing trouble breathing. This fluid can also be sent to the lab and checked for cancer or infection. If fluid around the lungs is removed, but builds up again, medicine can be put into the chest cavity with a thoracoscope to keep the fluid from coming back (pleurodesis).
