Common Thoracic Surgical Procedures

At Neumark Surgery, we offer various thoracic surgical procedures, each designed to address specific issues effectively. Some of the most common procedures include:

1. Lobectomy

A lobectomy is the surgical removal of a lobe of the lung. This procedure is often performed when dealing with lung cancer or severe infections that do not respond to other treatments.

2. Pneumonectomy

This is a more extensive procedure where an entire lung is removed. It's typically considered for patients with advanced lung cancer or severe lung disease.

3. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to access the thoracic cavity without large incisions. This method often results in shorter recovery times and less postoperative pain.

4. Esophagectomy

An esophagectomy involves the removal of part or all of the esophagus and is generally performed due to esophageal cancer or severe dysphagia.

5. Mediastinoscopy

Mediastinoscopy is a diagnostic procedure to examine the area between the lungs (mediastinum) and can help in staging lung cancer or diagnosing infections.

Preoperative and Postoperative Care

At Neumark Surgery, we emphasize the importance of thorough preoperative and postoperative care to enhance recovery. Our approach includes:

Preoperative Care

Before any surgical intervention, our team conducts extensive evaluations, including:

• Comprehensive health assessments
• Pulmonary function tests
• Imaging studies (CT scans, MRIs, etc.)
• Blood tests and other necessary labs

These measures help us determine the best surgical approach and prepare patients adequately for the procedure.

Postoperative Care

Recovery is crucial for surgical success. We provide:

• Immediate postoperative monitoring
• Pain management and support
• Guidance on physical activity and rehabilitation
• Regular follow-up appointments to track recovery

Our dedicated nursing staff is available around the clock to assist patients during their recovery journey.
