Thoracic Surgery

Thoracic surgery treats diseases of the organs and tissues within the chest, excluding the heart, including the lungs, airways, chest wall, pleura, diaphragm, mediastinum and oesophagus. The department uses fibreoptic and endoscopic equipment, minimally invasive surgical tools and imaging from virtual bronchoscopy to PET-CT, supported by pathology and laboratory services. MedLuxLife coordinates evaluation and surgery at our partner hospital, from sharing your scans to planning your recovery stay.
