Instead of big cuts, surgeons makes small cuts, put special trocars (hollow tubes) inside the body cavity, put a telescope inside (with a specialised camera mounted on it) which gives the inside image on a monitor.
Instead of putting their hands inside, again, special trocars (hollow tubes) are inserted and specialised, 5-10mm size instruments are inserted through the trocars and operation is carried out by manipulating these instruments from outside with surgeon's hands.

By far the most effective treatment for Thymoma is complete surgical removal of the tumour along with the thymus gland which offers the best chance for a cure. It's usually possible to remove the whole tumour if it's contained within the thymus gland (encapsulated).
Sometimes thymus gland tumours can spread into nearby structures. However, the full extent of the tumour can often only be accurately assessed during surgery

The purpose of treating a pneumothorax is to relieve the pressure on the lung, by removing the air and hence allowing it to re-expand, and to prevent recurrences. The best method for achieving this depends on the severity of the lung collapse and on the patient's overall health.

Surgery has always been feared because of the post-operative pain, bleeding, infections in the wound and other long term problems. All these problems were reduced drastically with the advent of “Key-hole surgery” in early 90’s. It brought about a paradigm shift in the way surgery is done – instead of big cuts on the body through which surgeon’s hands are put inside to do the operation, now small cuts were made, a telescope with camera attached to it was inserted inside the body to give a picture on the TV monitor and tiny instruments were put inside to carry out the operation. While it was extremely beneficial to the patients in terms of less injury, less blood loss, less pain & quicker recovery, it had a few disadvantages too.

Pleural effusion is excess fluid that accumulates between the two pleural layers, the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs. Excessive amounts of such fluid can impair breathing by limiting the expansion of the lungs during ventilation.
Pleural Effusion (Fluid in the Lungs) is a condition with an abnormal collection of fluid in the Chest Cavity. The pleura is a thin membrane that lines the surface of the lungs and the inside of the chest wall outside the lungs. In pleural effusions, fluid accumulates in the space between the layers of pleura.

A pneumothorax can be caused by a blunt or penetrating chest injury, certain medical procedures involving the lungs or due to underlying lung disease. Sometimes, pneumothorax occurs for no obvious reason. When the lung collapses, it causes sudden chest pain and shortness of breath.
