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.

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.
