Mediastinal Surgery

Mediastinal surgery refers to procedures performed in the mediastinum, the space in the chest between the lungs that contains vital structures like the heart, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels. This type of surgery is often done to diagnose or treat conditions such as tumors, infections, or abnormalities in these organs. Techniques may include minimally invasive methods or traditional open surgery, depending on the situation. The goal is to safely access the mediastinal area to improve health outcomes and address issues that may be affecting breathing, circulation, or other critical functions.
