Thoracic Surgery
Thoracic surgery is a branch of surgery that focuses on the structures within the chest cavity, such as the lungs, esophagus, heart, and other organs located in the chest. Thoracic surgery can be used to treat diseases and conditions such as lung cancer, aortic aneurysms, chest wall tumors, chest trauma, diseases of the esophagus, chest wall deformities, and mediastinal tumors. Thoracic surgery plays an important role in providing treatments for common thoracic conditions and has the potential to improve the quality of life for patients suffering with thoracic diseases.
