Thoracic Group Results
Two skilled surgeons, four independent hands working together with an experienced team in over 5,000 VATS procedures. For all potential patients – particularly those deemed ineligible for a traditional thoracotomy due to certain risk factors and co-existing medical conditions – VATS presents a viable, alternative option for treatment with the same effectiveness and much faster recovery. Thoracic Group, P.A. began employing the technique in 1990 and currently uses it in over 99 percent of its procedures with significant efficacy and a consequential reduction of incision size, hospital stay, associated complications and related chronic chest pain as compared to the traditional open chest surgery.
