Lung Cancer
Lung cancer often presents with a persistent cough or breathlessness, or is found incidentally on a chest scan taken for another reason. CT imaging, PET-CT staging and biopsy (bronchoscopy or CT-guided) confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment planning.
Robotic-assisted lobectomy or segmentectomy allows precise removal of the affected lung tissue, together with thorough mediastinal lymph node dissection, through a few small port incisions — with less pain and a faster return to normal breathing than open thoracotomy.
Common Signs
- Persistent cough lasting more than three weeks
- Coughing up blood or blood-streaked sputum
- Chest pain or breathlessness on exertion
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
Mediastinal Cancer
Mediastinal masses — including thymoma, thymic carcinoma and other tumours of the chest space between the lungs — are often found incidentally on imaging, or present with chest discomfort, cough, or, in some cases, symptoms of myasthenia gravis.
Robotic thymectomy and mediastinal mass resection allow precise, organ-sparing removal of the tumour through small port incisions, with 3D magnified vision to help protect surrounding structures such as major vessels and nerves.
Common Signs
- Chest discomfort or a dull ache behind the breastbone
- Persistent cough not explained by other causes
- Muscle weakness associated with myasthenia gravis
- Often found incidentally on a chest CT or X-ray

What Our Patients Say
Live reviews collected from Google, reflecting real patient experiences with Dr. Nitin Singhal and his team.
Admitted for robotic removal of a lung tumour. Everything from admission to discharge was well organised and clearly explained, and breathing recovery was quicker than I expected.
My father's thymoma was removed with a robotic-assisted approach. The team explained every step clearly and his recovery has been very satisfactory so far.
Grateful to Dr. Singhal and his team for their compassionate care and clear guidance throughout diagnosis and surgery. Recovery has been smooth with no major complications.
