Lung and chest operations include a wide range of procedures performed in the thorax, including the removal of a whole lung or part of a lung or a lobe, or the removal of lumps in the chest, as well as diagnostic operations.
Prior to making the decision of undergoing surgery it is important to consult with Cardioheal's doctors who are experts at treating such medical conditions. Together you will be able to discuss the specifics, the various operational treatments, the preparation needed for surgery and the estimated recovery time.
Thoracic and pulmonary procedures carried out by the Cardioheal's team of thoracic-pulmonary specialists are performed under strict supervision at the private Assuta hospital. Based on the medical decision agreed upon by you and your surgeon following your consultation, the operation could be done by using traditional techniques including a thoracotomy (surgical opening of the chest), or by newer methods which include the minimally-invasive laparoscopic technique. The recovery process from thoracic-pulmonary surgery takes place during the hospital stay under the close supervision and guidance of Cardioheal staff, who will offer help and advice throughout the recuperation period and medical follow-up.
For further information about the considerations, preparation, surgical course and recovery process, please refer to the specific pages that describe the different types of pulmonary and thoracic surgery. In addition, it is recommended that you consider the possibility of a private consultation with Cardioheal's experts in order to receive the best solution for your medical condition.
