Thoracic Surgery

The Department of Thoracic Surgery focuses on the surgical treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the organs inside the chest (thorax). This primarily includes the lungs, esophagus, chest wall, and diaphragm. Surgeons in this department handle a wide variety of medical issues, ranging from lung cancer and severe chest trauma to esophageal disorders and congenital anomalies. Modern thoracic departments routinely utilize a mix of traditional open surgeries and advanced, minimally invasive techniques to treat complex conditions while striving to minimize post-operative pain and accelerate patient recovery times.
