Fast postop recovery
Thanks to the meticulous surgical technique and also thanks to the the complete postop treatment of patients (modern, up to date), the following results were usually achieved:
- Fast postoperative recovery with shortest duration of remaining in hospital (7–8 days on average post thoracotomy for [bi–] Lobectomy, Pneumonectomy)
- Fast track recovery of patients postoperatively, i.e. elimination of any length of staying in ICU (intensive care unit), with Important benefits for thoracic surgical patients
- Mobilisation of the patient on the very same day of the operation (or within the very first 24 hrs postop)
- Oral feeding of the patient postoperatively in the evening of the very same day that he/she was operated on (Not the case for esophageal procedures)
- Using a “Limited” thoracotomy incision to achieve the surgical goal (even a “Mini” thoracotomy can often be used); this exposure remains conventionally “Open” with benefits of “minimally invasive” (relatively) at the same time
- Very good level of “analgesia” or pain control postoperatively thanks to a combination of methods applied
- Considerable reduction of the admission total costs, since short duration has been achieved indeed without any stay in ICU
