What does a thoracic surgeon operate on?
A thoracic surgeon performs surgery on organs within the chest cavity, including the lungs, esophagus, trachea, mediastinum, and chest wall. Common procedures include lung resection, esophagectomy, and treatment of pleural disease.
+
When would I be referred to a thoracic surgeon?
You may be referred to a thoracic surgeon if you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, esophageal cancer, a lung nodule requiring biopsy or removal, recurrent pneumothorax, or severe gastroesophageal reflux requiring surgical intervention.
+
Are thoracic surgeries minimally invasive?
Many modern thoracic procedures are performed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic techniques. Your thoracic surgeon will recommend the least invasive approach appropriate for your specific condition.
