Non-Cardiac Thoracic Surgery

Non-Cardiac Thoracic Surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on organs and structures in the chest that are not related to the heart. This includes surgeries on the lungs, esophagus, chest wall, and mediastinum (the area between the lungs). Conditions treated may include lung cancer, emphysema, or esophageal disorders. These surgeries aim to remove diseased tissue, repair damage, or alleviate symptoms, often improving patients' quality of life. Common techniques used include minimally invasive methods, which involve smaller incisions for quicker recovery.
