Thoracic Surgery
Thoracic surgery focuses on surgical treatment of diseases affecting the chest (thorax),
including the lungs, esophagus, mediastinum, diaphragm, and chest wall. These procedures
are performed to remove tumors, repair defects, or restore normal breathing and organ function.

- Esophageal cancer or severe reflux disease
- Mediastinal tumors and cysts

Types of Thoracic Procedures
- Lobectomy / Pneumonectomy – removal of part or whole lung for cancer.

- Mediastinal Tumor Resection – removal of tumors near the heart and lungs.
