In a groundbreaking development, Connaught Hospital in Sierra Leone has successfully conducted the country’s first-ever Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS).
This cutting-edge surgical technique offers hope to patients in need of lung or chest surgery, as it replaces traditional invasive procedures with smaller incisions.
With VATS, patients will no longer undergo wide-open chest surgeries, resulting in numerous benefits. Faster recovery times, reduced post-operative pain, and fewer complications are among the advantages that patients can now look forward to.
This significant medical achievement marks a new era in the field of thoracic surgery in Sierra Leone. The introduction of VATS promises to improve patient outcomes and revolutionize surgical practices in the country.
Experts and medical professionals are applauding the successful VATS procedure, highlighting its potential to enhance the quality of healthcare in Sierra Leone and bring positive changes to patients’ lives.
