At the Department of Pulmonology, we offer state-of-the-art video-assisted thoracoscopy to diagnose and treat chest conditions. Our dedicated chest clinic is equipped with the most modern technologies for safe and precision-driven thoracoscopic procedures.

Common risks and complications associated with this procedure include:
Thoracoscopy is not a painful procedure. It is performed under the effect of anaesthesia and may cause some levels of discomfort.
Your recovery period depends upon the cause of the procedure. Typically, you can expect to recover from thoracoscopy within 2-3 days.
