Paracentesis and Thoracentesis
Dr. M. Vishwanath performs paracentesis and thoracentesis procedures for cancer patients experiencing fluid accumulation due to advanced malignancies or treatment-related complications.
Paracentesis removes excess fluid from the abdominal cavity, while thoracentesis removes fluid surrounding the lungs. These procedures help reduce abdominal swelling, breathing difficulty, chest discomfort, and pain while also providing fluid samples for diagnostic evaluation when required.
Each procedure is performed under sterile conditions using appropriate safety measures to minimize complications. Patients are carefully monitored before, during, and after the procedure to ensure comfort and a smooth recovery. By relieving distressing symptoms, these procedures significantly improve quality of life and support ongoing cancer treatment.
