What is Thoracic Surgery
Thoracic surgery aims at treating diseases of the organs in the chest, including the lungs, oesophagus, mediastinum, diaphragm, and chest wall. It encompasses both open and minimally invasive surgeries to cure diseases like lung cancer, infections in the chest, pneumothorax, oesophageal disease. Thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic thoracic surgery are some procedures that have changed patient prognosis by making recovery quicker and less painful. Thoracic surgeons collaborate with pulmonologists, oncologists, and other experts to provide a comprehensive care approach. From the removal of lung tumours to the treatment of serious infections or structural defects, thoracic surgery is essential to restore health and enhance the quality of life of patients. We combine expertise, accuracy, and advanced technology at our centre to successfully treat even the most complex thoracic cases.
What is Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery treats diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymph systems outside the heart and brain. It entails both surgical and non-surgical methods in dealing with conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), aortic aneurysms, varicose veins, and carotid artery disease. Vascular surgeons treat both elective and urgent cases, averting severe complications such as stroke, loss of limb, or life-threatening haemorrhage. Most vascular procedures now are minimally invasive, employing catheters and imaging guidance to restore vessels with minimal incision. Open procedures are reserved for complex situations where vessels need direct repair or bypass. Vascular well-being impacts general well-being, influencing circulation in the body. Our staff coordinates a personalised plan for every patient to restore healthy circulation, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life. With highly qualified specialists and up-to-date technology, we provide the best level of vascular care.

Thoracic disease treatment often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving thoracic surgery, cardiology, and pulmonology specialists for accurate diagnosis and care.
-
Symptoms of thoracic problems may include chest pain, shortness of breath, chronic cough, fatigue, back pain, and difficulty swallowing. Early diagnosis of thoracic disease is key to effective treatment. Seek immediate care if symptoms are severe or persistent, as they may indicate serious heart, lung, or vascular conditions.
-
Yes, vascular disease is serious and can lead to life-threatening complications like heart attack, stroke, or limb loss. It involves restricted blood flow due to narrowed or blocked arteries. Early detection and proper vascular disease treatment significantly reduce risk and improve outcomes. Always consult a vascular specialist for evaluation.
-
Yes, recovery from vascular disease is possible with early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes vascular surgery. Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes plays a vital role. Regular checkups with a vascular specialist can monitor progress and help prevent complications, supporting long-term vascular health and improved quality of life.
