Study of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a well established method for diagnostics and therapeutics. Many thoracic procedures are performed minimal invasively and our aim of the study is to check the results of video assisted thoracic surgery in all thoracic diseases and find out the complications due to video assisted thoracic surgery. Method: This is a retrospective study of video assisted thoracic surgery in management of various thoracic diseases carried out in V.S. General Hospital, Ahmadabad with 60 patients on an indoor patient department basis during the period of November 2012 and June 2014. Proper routine workup preoperatively was done and proper postoperative care was given to the patients. Regular initial follow-ups were taken into account. Result: Out of 60 patients 4 patients were required postoperative ventilator support. 2 patients in which lobectomy right upper and another left lower lobectomy was performed required ventilator support and both were extubated in the postoperative ward after 6 hours. Similarly 1 patient of hydatid cyst with multiple cysts involving left lung required ventilator support and was extubated after 4 hours. 1 patient in which thymectomy was done required ventilator support post operatively for 2 hours. Conclusion: Video assisted thoracic surgery is a strong pillar of modern day surgery and future trends will see its ever growing role.
