- In general, I really liked the clinic
In general, I really liked the clinic, the coordination is good. Conveniently, what you met at the airport. However, what the doctor advised after the consultation does not help. I am planning a second consultation.

FAQ

What is a lung resection?

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.

What is the difference between lung cancer surgery at home and abroad?

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.

Features of surgery to remove a lung for cancer in different countries

We have identified the 3 most popular directions for surgery to remove a lung for cancer among residents of the CIS.

Germany

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.

Turkey

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.

Israel

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.

What are our patients guided by when choosing a clinic?

When choosing a hospital for the operation, they are guided by:

  • experience and qualifications of a thoracic surgeon;
  • intervention method;
  • accreditation and certificates of the clinic;
  • reviews of surgery for lung cancer at the medical center.
Operation types

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:

  • wedge resection - removal of the neoplasm and a small amount of healthy tissue;
  • segmentectomy - removal of a segment of the lung;
  • lobectomy - removal of a lobe of an organ;
  • bilobectomy - resection of the right lung. During the procedure, doctors remove 2 lobes;
  • pneumonectomy - complete removal of the lung.

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.

How is the intervention going?

open intervention

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.

Operation abroad: nuances
  • How much does lung cancer surgery cost?

The price of surgery for lung cancer depends on the amount of intervention and the method of its implementation.

  • Are there coordinators in foreign clinics?

Yes, I have. They accompany foreign patients at all stages of diagnosis and treatment, help with the preparation and translation of documents.

Organization of the procedure in a foreign clinic

Leave a request on the Bookimed website, and the relevant coordinating doctor will contact you. He will select several hospitals that will meet your wishes in terms of quality and price. Together with the coordinating doctor, you will choose the best of the proposed clinics.

To find out how much lung cancer surgery costs for you, please send us your medical records. The medical coordinator will send them to the selected hospital and request a treatment program.

We will supervise you from the moment you apply until you return home.
