Advanced Keyhole Lung Cancer Surgery in Gurgaon at Chest Surgery India

Lung Cancer Treatment: A New Era with Keyhole Surgery

Lung cancer is one of the most serious health threats facing people in India today. With the rise in air pollution, smoking habits, and late detection, more patients are being diagnosed with lung tumors at various stages. However, recent breakthroughs in medical technology have paved the way for less invasive and more effective treatments. Among these, advanced keyhole lung cancer surgery in Gurgaon is emerging as a preferred choice — and Chest Surgery India is at the forefront of delivering this technique under the expert care of Dr. Parveen Yadav.

Keyhole surgery, also called minimally invasive thoracic surgery or VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), uses tiny cuts instead of large incisions to remove lung tumors. This reduces pain, speeds up recovery, and leads to better outcomes. It’s no wonder patients from across India and abroad are opting for this revolutionary method in Gurgaon.

What Is Keyhole Lung Surgery?

Keyhole lung surgery involves making very small incisions in the chest wall through which a camera and fine instruments are inserted. These tools allow the surgeon to view and remove the tumor with high accuracy. Unlike open surgery, there is no need to split the rib cage, which results in less trauma and faster healing.

For lung cancer patients, this means a less painful journey with fewer complications, less scarring, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to daily life.

Understanding Lung Cancer

Lung cancer starts when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lungs. These cells form tumors that can interfere with breathing and spread to other body parts. The two main types are:

• Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) – the most common form
• Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) – a faster-growing and more aggressive type

Risk factors include smoking, air pollution, second-hand smoke, exposure to harmful substances (like asbestos), and family history. But in many cases today, even non-smokers are being diagnosed due to increasing pollution and other environmental triggers.

Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

Early detection plays a big role in successful treatment. Common warning signs include:

• Persistent cough lasting over two weeks
• Coughing up blood or rust-colored sputum
• Breathlessness or wheezing
• Chest pain that worsens with deep breathing
• Hoarseness, loss of appetite, and weight loss

If these symptoms appear, especially in someone with risk factors, it’s important to get checked immediately by a thoracic specialist.

Diagnosis and Assessment

Chest Surgery India uses the most advanced tools to detect and understand the extent of lung cancer. Tests and evaluations include:

• Chest X-rays and high-resolution CT scans to find abnormal growths
• PET-CT scans for determining cancer spread
• Bronchoscopy to view the airways and collect tissue samples
• CT-guided needle biopsies for deeper lung tissue
• Pulmonary function tests to check breathing strength before surgery

This thorough process helps Dr. Yadav plan a surgery that is precise, safe, and suited to each patient’s condition.

The Power of Keyhole Surgery

Keyhole or VATS lung surgery has changed the way thoracic surgeons treat cancer. It offers many advantages over traditional open surgery:

• Only 2–3 small incisions (less than 1 cm)
• Minimal blood loss and reduced infection risk
• Quicker recovery and less time in the hospital
• Smaller scars, less pain, and lower complication rates
• Faster return to normal life and work

At Chest Surgery India, advanced keyhole lung cancer surgery in Gurgaon is offered to patients with early or moderate-stage lung cancer and even select advanced-stage cases, depending on overall health and cancer spread.

Meet Dr. Parveen Yadav: Expert in Thoracic Oncology

Dr. Parveen Yadav is a renowned name in the field of thoracic surgery. With decades of experience and training from some of the best institutions in India and abroad, he is known for delivering excellent outcomes in complex lung and chest surgeries.

He specializes in:

• Minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS and robotic)

His patients admire his calm approach, deep knowledge, and the time he spends explaining procedures clearly. At Chest Surgery India, he leads a multidisciplinary team committed to patient care, safety, and long-term success.

Surgery Options for Lung Cancer

Depending on tumor size, location, and patient condition, Dr. Yadav performs:

• Lobectomy – removal of one lung lobe (most common)
• Segmentectomy – removal of a part of the lobe
• Wedge resection – removal of only the tumor and margin
• Pneumonectomy – removal of the entire lung in extreme cases

All of these can often be done using keyhole techniques, avoiding the complications of traditional surgery.

What to Expect Before and After Surgery

Before the operation, patients undergo complete health checks including blood tests, scans, and lung function analysis. Pre-surgery counseling is provided, where patients learn what to expect, how to prepare, and tips for recovery.

On the day of surgery, patients receive general anesthesia. The entire process usually takes 2–4 hours. After surgery, patients are moved to a recovery ward where they begin walking and breathing exercises within a day.

Hospital stay usually lasts 3–5 days, and full recovery takes 2–3 weeks in most cases. Patients receive follow-up care, physiotherapy guidance, and regular monitoring.

Patient Success Stories

Many patients have shared positive experiences after undergoing keyhole lung surgery at Chest Surgery India. For instance, Mr. Arjun Rana, a 54-year-old businessman from Jaipur, underwent a minimally invasive lobectomy and was discharged on the 4th day. Within 10 days, he resumed office work and light exercise.

Similarly, Ms. Amina Yusuf, an international patient from Kenya, was overwhelmed with fear before arriving in India. But after keyhole surgery and personalized care under Dr. Yadav, she recovered comfortably and returned home filled with gratitude.

Cost and Affordability

One major reason patients choose Gurgaon is the cost-effective care offered. While countries like the US or UK charge significantly more for similar treatments, Chest Surgery India provides the same quality — sometimes better — at a fraction of the price.

Affordable packages, insurance coverage support, Ayushman Bharat scheme (for eligible patients), and EMI payment options make treatment accessible to all.
