Thoracoscopy – Minimally Invasive Lung & Chest Diagnosis
Thoracoscopy is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to examine the chest cavity, lungs, and pleura (lining around the lungs). It helps doctors diagnose and treat various lung and chest conditions without the need for major open surgery.
At our clinic, thoracoscopy is performed by experienced pulmonary specialists using advanced medical technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and safe treatment.
What is Thoracoscopy?
Thoracoscopy is a procedure in which a thin instrument called a thoracoscope is inserted through a small incision in the chest wall. The thoracoscope has a camera and light that allows the doctor to view the lungs and chest cavity on a monitor.
This procedure helps doctors to:
- Examine the pleura and lungs
- Diagnose pleural diseases
- Detect tumors or infections
- Collect tissue samples for biopsy
- Treat certain chest conditions
When is Thoracoscopy Recommended?
Your doctor may recommend thoracoscopy if you have:
- Unexplained fluid around the lungs (Pleural Effusion)
- Suspected lung or pleural tumors
- Persistent chest infections
- Abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan
- Unexplained chest pain
- Suspected tuberculosis affecting the pleura
