Introduction
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide, but surgery offers hope,
especially when cancer is detected early. Dr. Jay Ramchandani, Surgical Oncologist at
Cancer Care Centre, specializes in lung cancer surgery using modern, minimally invasive
approaches. His patient-centered care gives individuals a better chance at long-term survival
and recovery.
Types of Lung Cancer Surgery
● Lobectomy: Removal of one lung lobe (most common).
● Pneumonectomy: Removal of the entire lung when cancer is extensive.
● Segmentectomy or Wedge Resection: Removal of smaller lung sections for early
stage cancer.
● Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS): Minimally invasive option with
quicker recovery.
Dr. Jay Ramchandani recommends the most suitable procedure after thorough evaluation
of tumor size, location, and patient health.
Preparing for Surgery
Preparation involves lung function tests, imaging scans, and lifestyle adjustments. Dr.
Ramchandani ensures patients are educated on breathing exercises, nutrition, and
hospital stay expectations.
The Procedure
Most lung cancer surgeries are done under general anesthesia. At Cancer Care Centre, Dr.
Ramchandani often uses minimally invasive or robotic-assisted techniques to reduce
blood loss, pain, and recovery time.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery may involve shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest discomfort. Pulmonary
rehabilitation and physiotherapy guided by Dr. Ramchandani’s team help restore lung capacity
and energy levels.
Conclusion
Lung cancer surgery offers new hope when performed with precision and advanced techniques.
Under Dr. Jay Ramchandani’s surgical expertise at Cancer Care Centre, patients can look
forward to safer procedures and smoother recovery.
