Medanta Institute of Chest Surgery and Chest-Onco Surgery is a specialised centre dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment for all diseases and infections of the chest or thoracic cavity, including cancers. Our multimodal, multidisciplinary approach seeks to address the entire spectrum of wellness needs ranging from prevention and disease reversal to clinical, interventional and surgical treatments. We have dedicated specialists for lungs, trachea and bronchus, pleura, mediastinum, oesophagus, chest wall, and diaphragm supported by nurses specially trained in thoracic care. We use advanced diagnostic tests to determine the stage and complexity of the disease to offer patients personalised recovery plans. Our team of chest surgeons, thoracic oncology surgeons, and lung transplant experts collaborate across specialists to improve the accuracy and precision offered through minimally invasive procedures, including VATS and robotic surgeries. We offer 24x7 critical care interventions such as ECMO in case of trauma and emergencies.
Chest trauma encompasses injuries to the chest wall, lungs, and other thoracic structures. Blunt or penetrating trauma can lead to life-threatening conditions, requiring immediate medical attention and, in some cases, surgical intervention.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition characterized by irreversible dilation of the bronchi, leading to recurrent respiratory infections and coughing. Treatment involves managing symptoms and addressing underlying causes, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
A chronic autoimmune, neuromuscular condition known as myasthenia gravis results in skeletal muscle weakness that gets worse after periods of exertion and gets better after periods of rest. These muscles control respiration and the movement of various bodily parts, such as the arms and legs
Posterior Mediastinal tumors are benign or cancerous growths that form in the back area of the chest that separates the lungs. This area, called the posterior mediastinum, is surrounded by the spine in back and the lungs on each side. These tumors can develop at any age although 30-50years is the commonest affected age group.
Robotic Surgery is a revolutionary new concept in surgery where a "robot" is interposed between the patient and the surgeon. The Surgeon carries out the operation through highly specialised instruments controlled by the arms of robot.
Pneumonectomy is the technical term used for the surgical removal of the whole lung. Pneumonectomy is done in cases of destroyed lungs due to extensive tuberculosis / bacterial / fungal infections. This surgery is also performed to treat lung cancer when less radical surgery cannot achieve satisfactory results. In case the tumor is located near the center of the lung that involves the major pulmonary artery or veins, this surgery is more appropriate.
Most people with esophageal cancers can achieve long-term disease control with a combination of esophagectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Esophageal cancer surgery alone also often provides good outcomes for people with early-stage esophageal cancers.
Robotic Chest Surgery utilizes advanced robotic systems to perform complex thoracic procedures with precision. Surgeons control robotic arms from a console, enhancing accuracy and reducing patient rec..
