Thoracic Surgery

Thoracic surgery involves the surgical treatment of diseases of the chest area including the lungs, heart, diaghram and surrounding areas. Thoracic surgery performed at Frisbie Memorial Hospital utilizes the latest technological advances, including a minimally invasive procedure known as video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS). This technique allows well-established thoracic procedures to be performed with significantly less trauma. Additional thoracic surgical procedures include thoracotomies and mediastinoscopies.
