Clinic for Surgery
You can rely on our pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons for illnesses or injuries to the chest (thorax), pleura or lungs.
Close collaboration and a good technical infrastructure are prerequisites for successful investigations and treatments. Chest surgery is preferably performed thoracoscopically, i.e. by means of minimally invasive chest endoscopy, but open surgery is also possible.
The most common procedures in the field of thoracic surgery / thoracoscopic surgery include
- Treatment of pneumothorax (pulmonary fistula)
- Treatment of effusions (infectious in the case of empyema, tumour-related)
- Removal of tissue samples from the lungs or pleura
- Removal of parts of the lung (e.g. for tumours)
