Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery
Our multidisciplinary team uses minimally invasive approaches to diagnose and treat a full range of thoracic diseases and disorders.
Minimally invasive thoracic surgery and treatments allow the surgeon to obtain limited access to the target area and surrounding tissue during the procedure.
These treatments benefit patients by typically:
- Shortening length of hospital stay
- Reducing the risk of post-surgical infection
- Reducing recovery time
- Eliminating the need for more complex surgeries
