video assisted thoracoscopic surgery

Dr. Amol Wagh, a world-renowned General Surgeon with over 20 years of experience, is an expert in Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) — a modern, minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat conditions of the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, and diaphragm. Practicing in South Mumbai, Dr. Wagh combines advanced thoracoscopic precision with compassionate, patient-centered care to ensure the best clinical outcomes. VATS involves the use of a high-definition thoracoscope and specialized instruments inserted through small keyhole incisions in the chest, eliminating the need for large open incisions. This approach offers significant advantages such as less postoperative pain, minimal scarring, reduced complications, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery. Dr. Wagh performs VATS for a wide range of conditions, including lung biopsies, lobectomy for tumors, pleural effusions, pneumothorax management, mediastinal cyst or thymus removal, and diaphragm repair. His expertise ensures precise surgical intervention with maximum preservation of lung function and minimal trauma.
