Thorax can just be related to a Human Security Box, protecting, the “ENGINE, CLUTCH & GEAR” Of our body, i.e. Heart & Lungs!

It is a rigid bony structure that comprises of various articulations (Joints) Structures, Ligaments & Muscles. It is because of the movements of thorax, that we are able to respire (Breathe).

Thoracic Surgeries have become common, especially in the central part of New Delhi, mainly due to medical advancements as well as increasing external ailments.

Delhi, being a capital state, has many of things which make it, a Capital in true sense, whether it is related to our Governmental Establishment, or Pollution!

Due to increased levels of pollution, Lung abnormalities have become quite common, especially Obstructive & Restrictive Disorders, such as Bronchial Asthma, Bronchitis & Occupational Lung Disorders such as ones found in working in coal mines, or even our National Policemen!

Because of these pre-disposing factors, Thoracic Surgeries have become a common case.

The factor which makes Thoracic surgery, a last option in most cases, is its Post-Operative Management.

The surgeon has to take utmost care in managing the patient post-operatively, this is because the whole thoracic (RIB CAGE) as muscles and ligaments attached to it. These are the muscles which move the rib cage up and down, allowing us to breathe in & out.

Hence, post-operatively, these muscular activities might as well get hampered which might reduce a patient’s ventilatory efficiency, making the case more severe!

Also due to the administration of Local Anaesthetics, the whole Thoracic System gets affected. Also, due to the surgical incisions, patients, especially those belonging to the geriatric (OLD ) Population, might face difficulty in breathing, or producing a cough, increasing the secretion accumulations in lungs, making the process of breathing, more fatiguing.

However, most of these things are taken care of. The national medical institute in New Delhi has come up with various techniques, in reference to the American Association Of Thoracic Surgery (AATS) enabling the practitioner to comfortably manage the thoracic condition, post-operatively. Some are:

1) Teaching the patient deep breathing exercises.

2) Chest Mobilising Exercises.

3) Thoracic Expansion Techniques.

4) Postural Drainage & Active Cycle Breathing Technique.

 In various scenarios, Thoracic Surgeries are done to perform procedures on the Oesophagus and some part of the abdomen as well, mostly involving cases of Diaphragm.
