Aortic Aneurysm – Bentall’s Procedure

Aortic Aneurysm – Bentall’s ProcedureAn aortic aneurysm is a condition in which there is a bulging or dilation in the wall of the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If left untreated, an aortic aneurysm can rupture, leading to life-threatening bleeding.The Bentall procedure is a type of surgical treatment commonly used to repair aortic aneurysms, particularly those that affect the ascending aorta and aortic valve. This procedure is especially relevant when the aneurysm involves the aortic root, which is where the aorta is connected to the heart. In cases where

Pericardiectomy & Pericardial Window

Pericardiectomy & Pericardial WindowBoth pericardiectomy and pericardial window are surgical procedures that involve the pericardium, the thin, sac-like membrane surrounding the heart. These procedures are typically performed when there is a need to address issues such as fluid accumulation, infection, or constriction involving the pericardium. Here's a closer look at each procedure:a. PericardiectomyDefinition: A pericardiectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the pericardium. This procedure is typically performed in cases of chronic constrictive pericarditis, a condition where the pericardium becomes thickened and scarred, restricting the heart's ability to expand and fill properly. It can also be used

Decortication – VATS / OPEN

Decortication refers to the surgical procedure that involves removing a thickened or fibrous layer of tissue, often from the pleura (the membrane surrounding the lungs) or other body cavities. In the context of lung surgery, decortication is typically performed to treat fibrothorax, a condition where the pleura becomes thickened and fibrotic, often as a result of infection (like tuberculosis), inflammation, or after a prolonged period of pleural effusion. This procedure helps restore normal lung function by removing the fibrous tissue that restricts lung expansion.Decortication can be performed using two main techniques: Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) and Open Decortication. These approaches

Pneumonectomy and Lobectomy

Pneumonectomy and lobectomy are both major surgical procedures involving the removal of parts of the lung. These procedures are typically done to treat lung cancer, severe emphysema, or other conditions that severely damage lung tissue. The main difference between the two is the extent of lung tissue removed: pneumonectomy involves the removal of an entire lung, while lobectomy involves removing only a portion of the lung (a lobe).Let’s explore each procedure in detail: 1. PneumonectomyDefinition: A pneumonectomy is the surgical removal of an entire lung. This procedure is typically done for conditions that affect the lung extensively, such as

Bronchopleural Fistula Repair

A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is an abnormal connection between the bronchi (airways in the lungs) and the pleura (the membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity). This condition can lead to serious complications, such as air leakage into the pleural space, respiratory distress, and infection (such as pneumonia or empyema). BPFs are most commonly a complication following lung surgery (like pneumonectomy or lobectomy), lung infection, or trauma.Bronchopleural fistula repair is a surgical procedure aimed at closing this abnormal passage to prevent air from leaking into the pleural space, which can cause persistent air leaks, infection, and impaired lung

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive approach that uses small incisions and a thoracoscope (a type of endoscope) to visualize and repair the fistula.Procedure Overview: Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered, and the patient is placed in a lateral decubitus position. Small Incisions: Three small incisions are made in the chest. Thoracoscope Insertion: A camera (thoracoscope) is inserted through one of the incisions to visualize the fistula. Repair: The fistula is identified and closed using sutures, staples, or other materials. In some cases, tissue grafts or patches may be used to seal the defect. Postoperative Care: As with open surgery, a chest
