Thoracic Surgery

What is Thoracic Surgery?

​

Thoracic surgery is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the chest (thorax).

​

This includes conditions involving:

• Lungs

• Bronchi (airways)

• Pleura (lining of the lungs)

• Mediastinum

• Thymus gland

• Diaphragm

• Chest wall

Thoracic surgery plays a critical role in treating both benign and malignant diseases, using advanced surgical techniques including minimally invasive (VATS) procedures.
