VATS Pleurectomy

VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) pleurectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat pleural diseases, such as pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the pleural space) or pleural thickening (thickening of the pleura). This procedure involves the removal of the affected portion of the pleura, the thin membrane that lines the chest cavity and covers the lungs.

During a VATS pleurectomy, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the chest and inserts a small camera and specialized instruments through the incisions. The camera allows the surgeon to visualize the pleura and surrounding structures on a monitor, while the instruments are used to remove the affected portion of the pleura.

VATS pleurectomy is associated with less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. It is usually performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay of several days to several weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's condition.

In Dubai, VATS pleurectomy is typically performed by highly skilled and experienced thoracic surgeons who specialize in the treatment of pleural diseases. The surgeons at the Dubai Thoracic Surgery Clinic, located at the Dr. Rami Hamed Center, have extensive experience in performing VATS pleurectomy and work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients undergoing this procedure.
