At LIV Hospital, we provide personalized respiratory care tailored to each patient. Collaborating with pulmonologists, surgeons, and therapists, we treat everything from chronic conditions like asthma to complex lung surgeries, ensuring safe, effective care for all ages.
Healing doesn’t stop when the procedure is over. Chronic lung disease and surgery can weaken the body. Our pulmonary rehabilitation program is a structured education and exercise program designed to help you get your strength back.

Long-Term Monitoring:
Many lung conditions are managed medically before considering surgery. LIV Hospital offers a range of non-surgical therapies for lung defects and chronic airway diseases.
LIV Hospital leads in Interventional Pulmonology, treating many lung conditions from inside the airways without external surgery.
When medication and minimally invasive options are insufficient, surgery becomes necessary. Our Thoracic Surgery department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to perform complex operations with high precision.
This is the standard of care for many lung operations at LIV Hospital. Instead of opening the chest with a large incision, surgeons use small “keyhole” cuts and a camera.
Using the Da Vinci robotic system, our surgeons can perform delicate procedures with enhanced 3D vision and wrist-like instrument movement.
Children require specialized respiratory care because their lungs are still developing. LIV Hospital’s Pediatric Pulmonology unit focuses on diagnosing and treating congenital lung conditions and early-childhood respiratory diseases with expert, child-friendly care. Some infants are born with structural problems such as Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) or Bronchopulmonary Sequestration. Our pediatric surgeons perform precise surgical repairs to remove abnormal tissue while protecting healthy lung growth. After treatment, long-term monitoring ensures proper lung development as the child grows.

Your lungs are vital, and choosing the right care team is the most important decision you can make. LIV Hospital stands out as a leader in respiratory medicine for several key reasons.
For lung cancer patients, no decision is made by one doctor alone. A team of surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pulmonologists meets to discuss your specific case and agree on the best lung disease treatment options.
We invest in the latest medical technology, from electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to robotic surgical systems. This allows us to reach deeper into the lungs to diagnose and treat lesions that were previously unreachable without major surgery.
We understand that breathing problems cause anxiety. Our nursing staff and doctors prioritize clear communication, empathy, and comfort. We offer psychological support as part of our holistic care model, recognizing that mental health is a key part of physical recovery.
Treatment depends on the specific disease but generally includes medication (inhalers, antibiotics), pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes like smoking cessation. In severe cases or for structural issues, surgery or interventional procedures are used.
A standard program typically lasts between 6 to 12 weeks, with sessions 2 to 3 times per week. However, the goal is to teach you lifestyle changes and exercises that you will continue to do at home for the rest of your life.
Surgery is not required for most lung conditions. It is typically reserved for removing tumors, repairing congenital defects, or treating complications like a collapsed lung that won’t heal. Your doctor will always explore non-surgical options first.
The most common medications are bronchodilators (to open airways) and corticosteroids (to reduce inflammation). We also use antibiotics for infections and specialized drugs for conditions like pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary hypertension.
Recovery involves managing pain, doing deep breathing exercises to prevent pneumonia, and gradually increasing walking distance. Pediatric lung surgery recovery focuses on gentle mobilization and pain control. Full recovery from major surgery can take 4 to 8 weeks.
