Severe Pneumonia VATS Surgery Success | Child | Narayana Health

In this powerful recovery story, a 2.5-year-old child from Howrah was rushed to Narayana Hospital with severe pneumonia, high fever, and breathing difficulty. Under the expert care of Dr. Shubhadeep and thoracic surgeon Dr. Manujesh Bandyopadhyay, detailed investigations revealed empyema — a serious condition where pus and fluid accumulate in the chest, causing significant lung damage.

The child underwent a successful Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive procedure that removed the infection and helped the lung heal. With continuous ICU monitoring, respiratory support, and timely intervention, the young patient made a remarkable comeback and was soon discharged in a healthy, stable condition.

This video highlights how early diagnosis, specialised pediatric care, and advanced thoracic surgery techniques can save lives — especially in severe cases of pneumonia and empyema in children.
