Over the past few years, respiratory diseases are on the rise and the awareness about respiratory diseases has also increased largely due to Covid over the past 2 years.
There are a lot of respiratory ailments that can be addressed successfully by surgery. Diseases such as bronchiectasis, aspergilloma, mucormycosis (black fungus), tumours in the chest and lung cancer can be successfully addressed by thoracic surgery. Earlier these surgeries used to be done via open thoracotomy (big incisions), however most of these surgeries are being done by Video Assisted Thoracoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery).
Consultant Thoracic Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, Dr Ajay Narasimhan, MS., Mch (Cardio Thoracic Surgery) is an accomplished Thoracic Surgeon with rich experience in keyhole thoracic surgery. Dr Narasimhan will be available at Siliguri and Kolkata on 26 and 27 March respectively. It is expected that the patients may be benefitted by these services.
