Mediastinal Tumor Surgery

Mediastinal tumor surgery involves removing abnormal growths located in the mediastinum, the central part of the chest between the lungs that contains vital structures like the heart, major blood vessels, esophagus, and trachea. The procedure is planned carefully using imaging scans to locate the tumor and determine the best approach. Depending on the tumor's size and position, surgeons may use minimally invasive techniques or open surgery to remove it. The goal is to eliminate the tumor, relieve symptoms, and prevent any spread, while preserving surrounding vital structures and ensuring the patient's safety and recovery.
