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 is a surgical procedure that removes one lobe of the lung to treat lung cancer or other lung diseases.
A surgical procedure that removes a small, wedge-shaped part of the lung containing a tumor or abnormal tissue.
A pulmonary surgery that involves removing a specific segment of the lung affected by disease, often used to treat localized lung cancer.
A lung resection is an operation to remove part or all of an organ. In most cases, doctors resort to the procedure for lung cancer.
Specialists of foreign clinics perform resection using video-assisted thoracoscopic VATS method. They perform manipulations through 2-5 incisions of 2.5 cm. After such a procedure, the patient recovers faster than after a traditional open operation.
We have identified the 3 most popular directions for surgery to remove a lung for cancer among residents of the CIS.
In German clinics, the accuracy of diagnosis is 100%. Thanks to this, German doctors correctly determine the scope of the intervention and preserve the healthy tissues of the organ as much as possible.
Lung resection in Turkey is qualified surgeons and 85% of operations without complications at an affordable price. The cost of lung cancer surgery is lower here than in Israel and Germany.
In Israeli clinics, patients are operated on by experienced and qualified doctors. They are trained and trained in leading medical centers in the US and Europe. Thanks to this, Israeli specialists are improving the methods of conducting operations.
When choosing a hospital for the operation, they are guided by:
Atypical (marginal) lung resection
Excision of the affected lung tissue without taking into account the localization of blood vessels and the structure of the bronchi.
Advantages: allows you to preserve the healthy part of the organ as much as possible.
Disadvantages: The procedure can cause severe bleeding and organ dysfunction.
Typical lung resection
Excision of the affected part of the organ, taking into account the anatomical features of the lungs. Types of procedure:
Advantages: the procedure is accompanied by fewer side effects than marginal resection.
Disadvantages: during an atypical resection, the doctor removes more healthy tissue than during a marginal one.
The surgeon performs manipulations through an incision up to 20 cm.
Advantages: The operation provides the doctor with good visibility.
Disadvantages: The procedure leaves a large scar. Hospitalization lasts up to 2 weeks.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection ( VATS )
The surgeon operates through 3-5 incisions up to 2.5 cm. Through one incision, he inserts a tube with a camera that transmits an image of the lungs to the monitor. Through the rest of the incisions, the doctor performs manipulations with the help of special tools.
Benefits: VATS leaves small scars. Rehabilitation is 2-3 times faster than after open intervention.
Disadvantages: The procedure provides the doctor with less visibility than traditional open surgery.
The price of surgery for lung cancer depends on the amount of intervention and the method of its implementation.
