Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

Staging scan (CT/MRI/PET) determines tumor size and location relative to vital structures. Cardiac and respiratory functions are optimized. Discontinue blood thinners, fast as directed.

Day of Surgery

General anesthesia is given. The surgeon accesses the mediastinum via open surgery or minimally invasive VATS/robotics. The tumor is dissected carefully from nearby vessels/organs and excised. A chest tube is inserted. Takes 2–5 hours.

Post Surgery

Observe closely in recovery. Manage chest tube fluid drainage. Pain control is optimized. Deep breathing exercises are started. Hospital stay is 4 to 7 days. Pathology results determine subsequent chemo/radiation.

Recovery Timeline

A clear, clinical timeline to help you prepare for a safe and comfortable journey back to health.

Day 1

ICU monitoring, stabilization

Day 2–3

Chest tube management, mobility begins

Common Questions

No, many mediastinal tumors (like thymomas, cysts, or teratomas) can be benign, but still require surgical removal due to pressure on adjacent organs.
