Thoracic Surgery (click for worldwide facilities list): Thoracic surgery is the treatment of diseases and injuries of the heart, lungs, mediastinum, esophagus, chest wall, diaphragm, and great vessels.
Thoracic Surgery encompasses the operative, perioperative, and surgical critical care of patients with acquired and congenital pathologic conditions within the chest. Included is the surgical repair of heart lesions, and congenital and acquired conditions of the coronary arteries, valves, and myocardium. The specialty also includes the management of pathologic conditions of the lung, esophagus and chest wall, abnormalities of the great vessels, tumors of the mediastinum, and diseases of the diaphragm and pericardium. Management of the airway and injuries to the chest are also within the scope of the specialty.
Also included are congenital and acquired lesions (including infections, trauma, tumors, and metabolic disorders) of both the heart and blood vessels in the thorax, as well as diseases involving the lungs, pleura, chest wall, mediastinum, esophagus, and diaphragm. In addition, the ability to establish a precise diagnosis, an essential step toward proper therapy, requires familiarity with diagnostic procedures such as cardiac catheterization, angiography, electrocardiography, imaging techniques, endoscopy, tissue biopsy, and biologic and biochemical tests appropriate to thoracic diseases.
Some diseases of the thorax (chest), include: Early and locally advanced lung cancer, pretreatment staging of thoracic neoplasms, miniminally invasive surgery (MIS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), lung transplantation, lung volume reductions surgery (LVRS, 'emphysema surgery'), esophageal carcinoma, management of complex esophageal diseases (complications of gastroesophageal reflux, neuromotor diseases, etc.), tracheal tumors and airway management, malignant pleural effusions, Mesothelioma and other malignant pleural diseases, chest wall tumors and chest wall deformities (pectus excavatum), pulmonary metastases, mediastinal tumors (thymoma), and others.
