Thoracic Surgery
Thoracic Surgery involves the organs of the chest but extends to the esophagus (tube between mouth and stomach), the trachea (airway), and the chest wall (rib cage and collarbone). It repairs diseased organs and tissues in the thoracic cavity (located in the thorax or chest), specifically the disorders of the lungs and esophagus such as chest trauma, lung cancer, etc. Here patients receive comprehensive and supportive care.
Thoracic Surgeon treats injuries, diseases, and congenital abnormalities in a patient’s chest, including surgery to remove tumors, and repair trauma to the lungs, esophagus, diaphragm, and mediastinum.
