Tórax Surgery
Thorax surgery is a surgical specialty that deals with the diseases of the different organs contained in the thorax with the exception of the heart and large vessels, whether congenital, acquired or traumatic; Diseases of trachea and bronchi, benign or malignant, such as stenosis and tumors; Mediastinum diseases (thymomas, cysts, tumors); Pathology of the pleura as benign or malignant spills, infections (empies), hemothorax, pneumotorax and tumors (mesothelioma), as well as pulmonary diseases: lung cancer, emphysema, bulls, benign tumors. Pulmonary transplants.
It also treats diaphragm diseases such as hernias and eventrications; Pathologies of the thoracic esophagus: Duplications, reflux, tumors. Performs surgical treatment of various other pathologies such as hyperhidrosis and malasthenia gravis, likewise chest trauma as chest deformities (pectus excavatum, carinatum, etc).
Minimal invasion thoracic surgery (VATS) is a new concept, derived from the application of techniques and novel infrastructure in the patient's benefit to reduce the need for aggressive approaches, pain and hospital stay.
Lung surgery
In the lung you can present benign lesions such as bustles, cysts, abscesses, etc., which on most occasions should have a surgical resolution.
Primary pulmonary cancer is the main cause of cancer-related mortality throughout the world. Lung cancer is divided into two categories: Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell pulmonary cancer. These two types behave differently, therefore, are evaluated and dealt with different modes. 85% of cancers correspond to non-small cell lung cancer, and this is susceptible to treatment with healing intention in early stages. Almost 80% of non-small cell cancer can be cured by surgery, depending on the size of the tumor and if the cancer cells have been extended to other parts of the body.
Airway surgery
The pathology of the tracheobronchial tree can be very varied.
Airway surgery is a small part of thorax surgery which encompasses a series of surgical procedures that offers a surgical alternative to treatment such as tracheal postimation stenosis, airway tracheostomes, conventional tracheostomies, percutaneous, surgeries Palliatives as healing of benign and malignant tumors of the tracheobronchial tree.
Deformities of the thorax
Alterations in the thoracic area are very varied and have to do with the bone structure or with the soft tissues of the affected person. However, all of them have as a common factor: producing an important aesthetic alteration and repercussions - in greater or lesser degree - in cardiorespiratory function. Cases such as sunken chest, prominent chest or prominent lower ribs are within this area.
Thoracic wall surgery
The pathologies of the thoracic wall include congenital lesions such as Pectus Excavatum, Carinatum, a diversity of musculoskeletal diseases that compromise the thoracic wall, primary tumor lesions, as well as metastatic susceptible to resection and subsequent reconstruction of thoracic integrity.
Another group of situations may be derived from chest trauma, conditions such as unstable chest or vollet costal, chronic thoracic pain and intractable as a product a poorly consolidated costal fracture.
Minimum invasion surgery
Assisted thoracic video-surgery (VATS) is a newly developed type of surgery that allows thoracic surgeons to observe the interior of the thoracic cavity after the realization of very small incisions.
We use advanced video, computers and high-tech electronics to perform many operations that previously required open thoracotomy, large incision. In essence, video-assisted surgery allows the chest surgeon to achieve the same goal as the open process comparable, but with less pain, lower morbidity and a shorter hospital stay for patients.
Diagnostic procedures such as lung biopsies, diaphragm and pleural can be carried out. Increasingly complex procedures are carried out, such as pulmonary, pleural resections, evacuation of problems based on decoration, anti-reflux procedures, diaphragmatic pelting, mediastinal tumor resections, timing.
Excessive sweating
Excessive sweating in hands, armpits and face ceased to be a problem.With a simple surgery of 45 minutes and after being evaluated by a specialist, the patient can forget the excess sweating.
In addition, to put an end to the hassle that can cause abundant perspiration, simcepthectomy is a procedure that also acts on the facial pathological flush.
