In a large international clinical study presented at the 99th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, Dr. Moishe Liberman, a thoracic surgeon and researcher at the University ...

The number of robotic pulmonary resections appears to be increasing significantly, and robotic-assisted lung surgery may be an appropriate alternative to video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), ...

For the first time, Max Super Speciality Hospital performed a Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) keyhole surgery of the chest for a collapsed lung on a patient affected from Covid-19 ...

A research has shown that thoracoscopic lobectomy- video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) - together with pulmonary artery sealing using an ultrasonic energy device decreased the risk of ...

Background: Postoperative infections, as related to risk factors, in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) procedures have been studied infrequently. Conclusions: This ...

Lung cancer cases have gone up in India by over five per cent in the last two years, while the overall incidence of the life-threatening disease went up by over 34,000 in the previous year, according ...

It may be counterintuitive, but four chest incisions could be better than one. With shorter recovery time and less pain, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is making pulmonary lobectomies a less ...

A new study demonstrates that awake video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (AVATS) – a minimally invasive procedure that is done under local anesthesia and sedation – is a safe and effective alternative ...

A single-shot intercostal nerve block was noninferior to thoracic epidural analgesia for pain control in minimally invasive lung resection. Continuous paravertebral block came out inferior for pain ...
