Thoracic Surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on surgical procedures involving the chest area, particularly the organs within it, such as the heart, lungs, and esophagus. Surgeons in this field perform operations to treat various conditions, including lung cancer, heart disease, and injuries to the chest.
These surgeries can be complex and may involve techniques like minimally invasive surgery, which uses small incisions and specialized instruments. The goal of thoracic surgery is to improve patients' health and quality of life by addressing serious medical issues that affect the thoracic cavity.
