"I was extremely satisfied with everything that happened to me at this wonderful hospital"
I was extremely satisfied with everything that happened to me at this wonderful hospital. I don't think that there is a hospital in Asia which can compare with this one. From the doctors to the nurses and all other personell in this hospital ALL are competent, very polite and friendly - the only small criticism that I have is that unfortunately many don't speak English very well, that's a great shame.

Our Lung cancer surgery Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Lung cancer surgery, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Lobectomy

Lobectomy is a surgical procedure that removes one lobe of the lung to treat lung cancer or other lung diseases.

Pros: Lobectomy is less invasive than pneumonectomy and preserves more lung function. It has a high success rate of around 85% for early-stage lung cancer.
Cons: It may not be suitable for patients with widespread lung damage or tumors in multiple lobes. Recovery can be longer compared to wedge resection.
Effectiveness: 85%
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: 4-6 weeks
Best for: Early-stage lung cancer, localized tumors, and non-small cell lung cancer in patients.
Prices: Cost of Lobectomy in Thailand from $16,900

Wedge Resection

A surgical procedure that removes a small, wedge-shaped part of the lung containing a tumor or abnormal tissue.

Pros: Less invasive than lobectomy or pneumonectomy, preserving more lung function. Typically results in a shorter hospital stay, with only 1-3 days required.
Cons: Higher recurrence rates compared to lobectomy, with approximately 10% more cases. Not suitable for larger tumors or those near major blood vessels.
Effectiveness: 95% success rate in removing small, localized tumors.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-2 weeks
Best for: Small, early-stage lung tumors, particularly in patients with limited lung function.
Prices: Cost of Wedge Resection in Thailand from $15,160

Pneumonectomy

Pneumonectomy involves the surgical removal of an entire lung, primarily to treat lung cancer or severe lung disease.

Pros: Offers a complete removal of cancerous tissue, reducing recurrence risk. Effective for large tumors that can't be excised by other methods.
Cons: Higher risk of complications and longer recovery time compared to lobectomy or wedge resection. Decreased lung function post-surgery.
Effectiveness: Success rate is around 70-80% in removing cancerous tissue.
Duration: The procedure takes approximately 4-6 hours.
Recovery: Recovery usually spans 1-2 months.
Best for: Large or centrally located tumors. Suitable for patients with localized lung cancer.

Lung segmentectomy

A pulmonary surgery that involves removing a specific segment of the lung affected by disease, often used to treat localized lung cancer.

Pros: Preserves more lung function compared to lobectomy. Less invasive than pneumonectomy, with fewer complications. Allows for targeted tumor excision, minimizing healthy tissue removal.
Cons: May not be suitable for large or multiple tumors. Slightly higher recurrence risk compared to lobectomy at 10%.
Effectiveness: Success rate is approximately 85-90% for early-stage lung cancer.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks
Best for: Patients with small, localized tumors, especially in early-stage lung cancer.

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What hotel service is provided here?

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

Do I need a visa?

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
