About the specialty

Thoracic surgery treats diseases of the chest: lungs, pleura, mediastinum, trachea and chest wall.

After reviewing the file and the imaging, the surgeon confirms the indication. Polycrabat Sevamed organises the pathway: referral, consultations, hospital stay, follow-up and liaison with the referring doctor.

Main conditions treated

  • Lung nodules and tumours
  • Pleural conditions: effusion, pneumothorax
  • Conditions of the mediastinum
  • Chest wall malformations
  • Conditions of the trachea and bronchi
  • Chest injuries

Types of procedures and techniques

The techniques used and their indication are decided by the doctor, case by case. As a general guide:

  • Lung resections
  • Pleural surgery
  • Mediastinal surgery
  • Video-assisted thoracoscopy when the indication allows
