Pulmonary Surgery at Oklahoma Surgical Associates
At Oklahoma Surgical Associates, our pulmonary surgery team is dedicated to providing advanced, patient-centered care for individuals facing a range of lung diseases. Whether you are dealing with lung cancer, emphysema, chronic infections, or other respiratory conditions, our specialized surgeons offer comprehensive solutions to help improve your lung function and overall quality of life.
Our pulmonary surgery procedures include:
Lung Resections: For patients with lung cancer or localized infections, lung resections
involve removing a portion of the lung to eliminate diseased tissue while
preserving as much healthy lung as possible. Our team uses both open and
minimally invasive techniques to ensure optimal outcomes and faster recovery times.
Lung Biopsies: To diagnose lung conditions such as cancer, interstitial lung disease,
or infections, we offer lung biopsies to obtain tissue samples. Depending
on your needs, we may use traditional surgical methods or minimally invasive
techniques like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to reduce
recovery time and improve accuracy.
Other Thoracic Interventions: Beyond lung resections and biopsies, we provide a wide range of thoracic surgeries to address lung diseases. From managing chronic infections to treating conditions like collapsed lungs, our team is equipped with the expertise and technology to deliver high-quality care.
Our goal is to help patients breathe easier and live better. Whether you're undergoing surgery for lung cancer or addressing another pulmonary issue, we are committed to providing personalized care with a focus on minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time, minimize discomfort, and enhance overall well-being.
Thoracic Surgery at Oklahoma Surgical Associates
Thoracic surgery at Oklahoma Surgical Associates covers a wide spectrum of procedures to treat conditions affecting the chest, including the lungs, esophagus, and mediastinum (the central part of the chest). Our expert thoracic surgeons are highly trained in performing complex surgeries with the most advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Some of the conditions we treat include:
Lung Cancer: Whether early-stage or advanced, our thoracic surgeons specialize in lung cancer surgery, offering treatments ranging from wedge resections and lobectomies to more extensive procedures. Our goal is to remove cancerous tissue while preserving lung function as much as possible, often using minimally invasive approaches like VATS or robotic-assisted surgery to minimize recovery time and post-surgical pain.
Esophageal Cancer: For patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer, our team provides esophagectomy, a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the esophagus. This can be a complex surgery, but our thoracic specialists employ the latest techniques to ensure effective removal of cancerous tissue while aiming to maintain the patient’s ability to swallow and eat normally after recovery.
Mediastinal Tumors: Tumors in the mediastinum, the area between the lungs, are rare but can be life-threatening if left untreated. Our thoracic surgeons are experienced in removing these tumors, using both traditional and minimally invasive surgical methods depending on the tumor’s location and size.
With our expertise in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, including VATS and robotic-assisted techniques, we prioritize reducing patient discomfort, minimizing hospital stays, and improving recovery times. Our commitment is to provide cutting-edge care for those facing life-threatening thoracic conditions, ensuring you receive the best possible treatment with compassionate support throughout your surgical journey.
Whether you are battling lung cancer, esophageal cancer, or another thoracic condition, Oklahoma Surgical Associates is here to guide you through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery with expertise and care.
