Healthy Living: New Lung Cancer Surgery

9&10 Logo

 

Being diagnosed with lung cancer is frightening for patients and families.

In Healthy Living we show you how now minimally-invasive lobectomies of the lung allows 50 percent of lung cancer patients to go home after one day post-surgery.

Minimally-invasive lung surgery is done without an epidural, which impacts blood pressure, but doesn’t impact the chest and ribs like traditional surgery.

Dr. Marshall uses nerve blocks for the pain.
