FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Thoracoscopic & Laparoscopic Surgery at Charak Hospital, Lucknow.

Laparoscopic surgery uses 2–5 small (5–12mm) incisions and a camera to perform the operation. Open surgery uses a large incision. Both achieve the same cancer removal, but laparoscopic surgery causes less pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.
Yes. Multiple randomised controlled trials have confirmed equivalent long-term cancer outcomes (survival, recurrence rates) for laparoscopic colorectal, gastric, and gynaecological cancer surgeries compared to open approaches.
VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) is the minimally invasive approach for chest surgery. It is used for lung cancer resection (lobectomy, wedge resection), mediastinal tumour biopsy or resection, and pleural disease. Most patients with operable lung cancer are candidates.
Duration varies by procedure — laparoscopic colectomy typically takes 2–4 hours, VATS lobectomy 2–3 hours. Complex procedures may take longer. Hospital stay is usually 2–5 days.
Very large tumours, cancers invading adjacent organs, significant adhesions from prior surgery, or haemodynamic instability may require conversion to open surgery. The decision is made intraoperatively based on the surgeon's assessment.
