Treatment of diseases involving chest can be challenging especially in India, where we have a diverse population with co-existent other diseases and co-morbidities. Even though the standard treatment guidelines are set by various professional bodies, there is a constant need for customized personal approach and innovation toward treatment, whenever you consider treating a person as an individual rather than a population at large. Such highly specialized care and treatment is possible only after years of cumulative surgical experience and observing evolving treatment modalities.
Although the human body is the same, but environment is in a dynamic process, the interaction with the ever changing environment has led to emergence of new diseases in man-kind.
