Surgery and Anaesthesia Conference-IPSC 2026

Advanced thoracic surgery involves minimal-access procedures like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted procedures for lung and mediastinal disease. These minimize surgical trauma, postoperative pain, and hospital stay. Improved perioperative management, pain relief, and interdisciplinary care enhance outcomes. Advances in imaging, operating instruments, and anesthetic methods further enhance safety and long-term functioning.
