Thoracic surgery involves surgical procedures on organs within the chest (thorax), including the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other structures. Here are some key aspects of thoracic surgery
Lung Surgery:Includes lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe), pneumonectomy (removal of an entire lung), and wedge resection (removal of a small part of the lung).
Esophageal Surgery : Procedures to treat esophageal cancer, achalasia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Mediastinal Surgery : Involves the removal of tumors or cysts in the mediastinum, the area between the lungs.
Tracheal Surgery : Includes procedures to treat tracheal stenosis or tumors.
Diaphragm Surgery : Repairs diaphragmatic hernias or paralysis.
Minimally Invasive Surgery : Techniques such as Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) and robotic surgery, which involve smaller incisions and quicker recovery times.
Endoscopic Procedures : Use of endoscopes to perform surgeries through small openings.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery : A non-invasive method using focused radiation to treat tumors.
Lung Cancer : Both primary and metastatic.
Esophageal Cancer : Including Barrett’s esophagus and other precancerous conditions.
Chest Wall Tumors : Both benign and malignant.
Pleural Diseases : Such as pleural effusion and pneumothorax
