Introduction |
The field of Thoracic Surgery mostly includes surgery for lung cancer, surgery for esophageal cancer, surgery for mediastinal tumor, pleural diseases, chest trauma, esophageal function and gastroesophageal disease. With the advancement of endoscopic instruments and techniques, around 80% of thoracic operations in our Division can be performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We also have a lung transplantation team and meeting regarding lung transplantation potential donor and reciepient on a regular basis. We have 7 qualified and well experienced thoracic surgeons, including two professors and two associate professors. We also conduct panendosocpy and bronchoscopy for surgical patients who need inspection or biopsy for thoracic diseases including esophageal cnacer and lung cancer. We also provide esophageal functional examination such as manometry and 24-hour PH monitor for diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux diseases and other esophageal functional disorders. |
