Surgical FAQs

Thoracoscopic surgery, also known as VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), is a minimally invasive technique. It uses small incisions and a camera to access the chest cavity. This method avoids large incisions, reduces post-operative pain, and shortens recovery time. It's commonly used for lung and chest surgeries today.
