Thoracic Surgery

"Minimally invasive surgery allows us to perform operations that are much less aggressive for the patient, with faster recovery, fewer complications and greater safety".

DR. MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ PÉREZ
CODIRECTOR. THORACIC SURGERY DEPARTMENT

The Thoracic Surgery Service of the Clinic has a team of thoracic surgeons that offers rapid care, both in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the thorax, thanks to the application of pioneering procedures and techniques, which make it possible to bet on minimally invasive surgical interventions (robotic and videothoracoscopic surgery) and accelerated recovery.

We have a highly specialized multidisciplinary team (Radiology, Oncology, Pneumology, Pathology and Nuclear Medicine, among others) for the treatment of diseases such as lung cancer, esophagus, thymus, mediastinum, pleural cancer and tumors and deformities of the chest wall as well as pulmonary nodules or hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
