Chest surgery is a medical procedure that involves operations on the organs inside the chest, such as the heart, lungs, and esophagus. This type of surgery is often performed to treat conditions like lung cancer, heart disease, or esophageal disorders. Surgeons use various techniques, including minimally invasive methods, to reduce recovery time and improve patient outcomes. Patients may undergo chest surgery for diagnostic purposes or to remove tumors, repair damaged tissues, or improve breathing. After the procedure, recovery typically involves monitoring in a hospital and following a rehabilitation plan to ensure proper healing and restore normal function.
