Our thoracic program can also offer minimally invasive thoracic surgery techniques for many benign thoracic conditions affecting the esophagus, such as achalasia and hiatal hernia.
Our thoracic surgeons are highly experienced in advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques such as video-assisted thoracic surgery resections for lung cancer and robot-assisted thoracic surgery. Minimally invasive surgery allows patients to have less pain, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to normal activities.
Although minimally invasive surgeries are available, sometimes open incisions must be used, but our team will review all possible options during your office visit. From diagnosis to treatment and recovery, our team will guide you through every step of the process with detailed explanations of possible procedures for your specific needs.
