What is Thoracic Surgery?

Thoracic Surgery is the branch of medicine focusing on the conditions relating to the heart, lungs, oesophagus and major blood vessels. Approximately 80% of thoracic surgery involves surgery for some sort of cancer however a lot of thoracic surgery helps people with diseases that are not cancer related.

Common thoracic surgery procedures include:

  • Pneumonectomy - the removal of part of the lung affected by neoplasm
  • Oesophagectomy – removal of part of the oesophagus affected by a tumour
  • Bronchoscopy – examination of the lungs
  • Lung transplant
