    Thoracic Group surgeons provide consultation and surgical management of a range of conditions of the chest. These include:

    • Lung Cancer: Our surgeons treat this condition, most frequently diagnosed in former or current smokers, using minimally invasive thoracic surgery. This prevents the need for an open thoracotomy, which can lead to further complications and longer recovery times.
    • Second Opinion: Patients who are making possibly life-changing decisions about their health should consult with our experienced surgeons to ensure that they are choosing the safest and most beneficial surgical option.
    • Hyperhidrosis: This condition causes excessively sweaty palms, making social interactions for those suffering extremely challenging. With a simple VATS procedure, our surgeons can permanently limit the impact of the condition.
