Vats Wedge Resection Procedure—DUBAI

VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) wedge resection is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove a small, wedge-shaped portion of lung tissue. This procedure is typically performed to diagnose and treat lung conditions such as lung cancer, lung nodules, or infections.

During a VATS wedge resection, 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 lung and surrounding structures on a monitor, while the instruments are used to remove the targeted portion of lung tissue.

VATS wedge resection 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 weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's condition.

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