Thoracoscopic Surgery in Jalandhar

If You Find Best Hospital for Thoracoscopic Surgery in Jalandhar, Punjab Then Star Hospital is best for you. Thoracoscopic Surgery means doing surgery inside the chest with the help of a camera and small instruments without giving big cuts on the chest. In open surgery, a big incision is required to get inside the chest wall and often involves cutting or ribs as well. This leads to a lot of pain and difficulty in breathing after surgery for a few days and can increase the risk of pneumonia. Thoracoscopic Surgery provides many advantages similar to laparoscopic surgery in terms of-

  • Less scar
  • Less pain
  • Early recovery
  • Less chances of pneumonia
  • Less blood loss
  • Early return to work
