Minimally invasive surgery for lung, mediastinal and chest wall disease
Overview
Thoracic Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery for lung, mediastinal and chest wall disease
Thoracic surgery manages lung nodules, mediastinal masses, pleural disease and selected oesophageal cases. Robotic and video-assisted techniques aim to reduce operative trauma.
Working with oncology, pulmonology and radiology, the team prioritises speed and accuracy from diagnosis to resection strategy. Early discharge and remote follow-up matter for international patients.
