"I was extremely satisfied with everything that happened to me at this wonderful hospital"
I was extremely satisfied with everything that happened to me at this wonderful hospital. I don't think that there is a hospital in Asia which can compare with this one. From the doctors to the nurses and all other personell in this hospital ALL are competent, very polite and friendly - the only small criticism that I have is that unfortunately many don't speak English very well, that's a great shame.

FAQ about Lobectomy in Thailand

What is a lung lobectomy?

A lung lobectomy is an operation to remove a lobe of an organ when it is damaged.

In most cases, surgeons perform the procedure for lung cancer.

The difference between lobectomy at home and abroad

Surgeons from foreign medical centers perform lobectomy using the video-assisted thoracoscopic VATS method. They perform manipulations through 2-5 incisions of 2.5 cm each. Recovery after such a procedure is faster than after traditional open surgery.

Features of lung lobe removal in different countries

Bookimed has identified the 3 most popular countries for lobectomy among residents of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Germany

In medical centers in Germany, the accuracy of diagnosis is 100%. Thanks to this, German specialists correctly determine the scope of intervention.

Israel

In Israel, patients are operated on by experienced and qualified surgeons. They study and train in leading European and American clinics. Thanks to this, Israeli surgeons are improving the methods of performing lobectomy.

Turkey

The main advantage of a lobectomy in Turkey is its cost. The price for the procedure here is lower than in Israel and Germany.

88% of operations in Turkey pass without complications.

Statistics

How to choose a hospital for lung lobe removal surgery?

When choosing a clinic for a lobectomy, focus on:

  • experience and qualifications of an oncologist and thoracic surgeon;
  • availability of a system for low-traumatic VATS surgery;
  • certificates and accreditations of a medical institution;
  • reviews of lung lobectomy in the clinic.

Indications and contraindications for surgical lobectomy

Surgical lobectomy is indicated for patients with:

  • lung cancer of the initial stages, which is localized within one lobe;
  • severe forms of tuberculosis;
  • lung cyst;
  • abscess.

Doctors do not perform surgery on people with:

  • lung cancer stage 3B-4;
  • metastases;
  • intolerance to anesthesia;
  • germination of the tumor or metastases in the aorta, esophagus, superior vena cava, and the opposite main bronchus;
  • severe general condition.

Types of lobectomy

Thoracotomy

The doctor makes an incision 8-20 cm long and removes the lobe of the lung.

Benefits: The procedure provides the surgeon with good visibility.

Disadvantages: the operation leaves a large scar. Recovery takes up to 2 weeks.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS)

The doctor performs the procedure through 3-5 incisions up to 2.5 cm. Through one incision, he inserts a tube with a camera that controls the course of the procedure. Through the remaining 2 incisions, he performs manipulations with special instruments.

Advantages: the procedure leaves small scars. Recovery is 2-3 times faster than after open surgery.

Disadvantages: VATS provides the surgeon with less visibility than a thoracotomy.

Preparing for the operation

Preparation for a lung lobectomy includes:

  • blood analysis;
  • chest CT;
  • sampling and laboratory examination of tumor tissues;
  • positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT).

The course of the procedure

During the operation, the patient is under general anesthesia. Depending on the type of lobectomy, the surgeon performs an incision 8-20 cm long or 3 incisions of 2.5 cm each, and removes a lobe of the lung.

Duration of lobectomy

The intervention takes 2 to 3 hours.

Rehabilitation after removal of part of the lung

The duration of hospitalization after removal of a lung lobe for cancer depends on the technique. After an open operation, a person stays in the clinic for 1-2 weeks, after a low-traumatic operation - 4-5 days.

To restore lung function, the doctor prescribes breathing exercises.

Possible Complications

88% of lobectomy abroad pass without complications. Among the possible violations of the body - breathing problems. Patients restore it with the help of special exercises.
