Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) in Thane

Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery, RATS, uses robotic-controlled instruments to give the surgeon a magnified, 3D view of the chest cavity and a level of precision that’s difficult to match with conventional instruments, particularly around delicate structures like blood vessels and nerves near the lung and mediastinum.

Dr Amol Bhanushali trained in robotic thoracic surgery at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, and Duke University, USA, two of the institutions at the forefront of the technique, and applies it across complex thoracic procedures including lobectomy, mediastinal tumour resection, and thymectomy. Like uniportal VATS, RATS is a minimally invasive approach, meaning smaller incisions, less blood loss, and typically a shorter hospital stay than open surgery.

RATS suits cases where precision around critical structures matters most, but it isn’t the right approach for every patient or every tumour. Whether it’s appropriate depends on the specific case, and that’s assessed properly before it’s recommended, not offered as a default upsell.

If you’re considering thoracic surgery and want to know whether a robotic approach is suitable for your case, book a consultation with Dr Amol Bhanushali in Thane to discuss your options.

What is Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS)?

Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) is a minimally invasive surgical approach that utilizes the da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic platform designed to enhance surgical precision and dexterity. During a RATS procedure, the surgeon sits at a console and controls the robotic arms, which hold specialized surgical instruments and a high-definition camera. This advanced technology allows for greater flexibility, improved visualization, and enhanced surgical precision compared to traditional open or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) techniques.

At Dr. Amol Bhanushali’s Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of RATS procedures for various thoracic conditions, including:

  • Esophageal Surgeries: RATS techniques are employed for esophageal surgeries, such as fundoplications and Heller myotomies, to address gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and achalasia.

Benefits of Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery

  • Enhanced Precision: The da Vinci Surgical System provides enhanced visualization and dexterity, allowing for precise surgical maneuvers and improved outcomes.
  • Minimally Invasive: RATS procedures involve smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery, resulting in less scarring, reduced pain, and faster recovery times.

My wife, Rekha Tejura, had been suffering from TB for the last couple of years. The infection was in her chest and abdomen both. During the treatment with anti-TB medicines, abdominal infection decreased but chest infection continued to persist. One of her lungs got covered with a very thick layer of pus and that side lung started to fail. At that time, we decided to go for a different doctor and heard about Dr. Amol Bhanushali. We visited him immediately and started treatment. From the very first visit itself, Dr. Bhanushali responded positively and supported us. The surgery was performed successfully using the latest technology available and my wife’s lung was saved. After the operation, she was fit and fine. I am thankful to Dr. Bhanushali for treating my wife.

My wife, Varsha Garwa, was unwellfor nearly 10 years. She used to a keep coughing a lot and her cough used to contain blood at times. The blood went on increasing over the last few years. She had developed a fungal ball (aspergilloma) in a cavity in a part of her lung. She was treated by various doctors, however, nothing worked. By a stroke of luck, we came across Dr. Amol Bhanushali’s name. The treatment offered by Dr. Bhanushali was world class. He was very patient and polite. He explained to us everything about the disease and its treatment. He also instilled confidence in us that the surgery would be successful. The Center for Lung Surgery at Dr. Bhanushali Hospital has state-of-the-art infrastructure and has everything under one roof. My entire family is grateful to Dr. Bhanushali for treating my wife and ending her decade long misery.

My mother, Manjushree Patil, had been suffering from MDR-TB and was on anti-TB drugs for six years. She took treatment from different doctors but there was no respite. Through word of mouth, we came to know about Dr. Amol Bhanushali. During our very first meeting with Dr. Bhanushali, he gave us detailed information about the disease and told us about the treatment. My mother’s left lung was completely destroyed by TB, and the other side was beginning to get affected too, so surgery was needed immediately. We were all very scared but Dr. Bhanushali and his team ensured that the surgery was successful and my mother got rid of TB and recovered completely. We are forever indebted to him for performing the surgery and bringing my mother out of the brink of death, thus giving her a new lease of life.
