Minimal intervention thoracic surgery is the result of many years of experience in thoracic and cardiac surgery procedures, including the implementation of all kinds of surgeries ranging from thoracoscopy to complex pulmonary resection surgeries.
This is the scope of clinical minimal intervention thoracic surgery at Metropolitan General.
What is the minimal intervention technique?
This kind of surgery is performed under general anesthesia by means of a special anesthetic catheter.
The surgical procedure is conducted through three small sections or one single section four to eight cm wide, depending on the procedure and patient.
The nine advantages of minimal intervention thoracic surgery procedures:
- Minimal loss of blood.
- No or minimal stay at the ICU.
- Minimization of pain combined with quick mobilization.
- Reduced risk of infections.
- Minimization of post-operative complications.
- Minimal ward hospitalization.
- Rapid recovery.
- Expedited return to normal living.
- Excellent aesthetic result.
