What Is Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery?

TV thoracoscopic surgery is an advanced diagnosis and treatment technology using modern television camera technology and high-tech equipment. It has the advantages of less trauma, light pain, reliable curative effect, and incisions that meet the requirements of beauty. \ nCompared with traditional surgical methods, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is very different from conventional thoracotomy. It is usually performed under 3-4 small chest wall incisions of 1.5 cm. The doctor looks at the monitor screen and completes the operation with special surgical instruments. This is equivalent to extending the doctor's eyes into the patient's chest for surgical operations. Due to the magnifying effect of thoracoscopy and high-definition imaging, the lesions in the surgical field appear. The scope and safety of surgical resection are comparable to traditional thoracotomy. The positive rate of biopsy of intrathoracic lesions is also much higher than that of puncture biopsy.
