Welcome to Dr. Amol Bhanushali’s Center for Lung Surgery, where we specialize in Uniportal VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), a cutting-edge minimally invasive surgical technique for thoracic procedures. Led by Dr. Amol Bhanushali, a renowned thoracic surgeon with expertise in advanced surgical techniques, our center offers state-of-the-art Uniportal VATS procedures for patients seeking precision, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times.
What is Uniportal VATS?
Uniportal VATS is a minimally invasive surgical approach that involves performing thoracic surgeries through a single small incision, typically less than 4 cm in length (instead of 3 or 4 small incisions needed for traditional VATS. This technique utilizes a high-definition camera and specialized instruments to access and operate on the chest cavity, offering numerous benefits over traditional VATS and open surgery, including reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery.
Our Uniportal VATS Services
At Dr. Amol Bhanushali’s Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of Uniportal VATS procedures for various thoracic conditions, including:
- Pleural / Lung Biopsy: Uniportal VATS is much less invasive for a predominantly diagnostic procedure like taking biopsy from pleura or from the lung for conditions which can’t be diagnosed by simpler tests
- Lung Resection: Uniportal VATS is commonly used for lung resections, including lobectomies and segmentectomies, to treat lung cancer, infections, and other lung conditions. These procedures involve removing a part of the diseased lung which can be quite challenging due to the lung anatomy. Dr. Amol Bhanushali has received specialized training to be able to perform these difficult procedures by the Uniportal VATS technique, thereby causing lesser pain and discomfort to the patient
- Bullectomy: Most cases of pneumothorax are due to rupture of bullae or blebs which are small air sacs on the lung surface. For a complete cure and to prevent recurrence, the patient needs to undergo a surgery called Bullectomy + Pleurodesis. This is done by Uniportal VATS at our center.
- Decortication: This means removal of thickened pleura that prevents the lung from expanding again, following a long standing or complex pleural effusion (having septations or loculated pleural effusion) or following an empyema (infection in the pleural fluid). This also can be done by Uniportal VATS at our center.
- Thymectomy: Our clinic specializes in Uniportal VATS thymectomy for the treatment of thymomas, myasthenia gravis, and other thymic disorders.
