The lung is a vitally important organ, this means that the field of thoracic surgery - which is concerned with lung diseases, with malformations of the thorax and with bronchial diseases – requires particularly extensive diagnostics and treatment.
At our thorax center, you will benefit from the close collaboration between the clinics for pneumology, for radiation therapy and for oncology due to the resulting modern and multimodal therapy concepts. The cooperation with the fields of traumatology, visceral surgery, ENT and neurosurgery provides the thorax center with the entire operative spectrum of modern thorax surgery. The thorax surgery attends to all of the thorax-surgical patients of the Vivantes hospitals – in case of an emergency also on-site.
Vivantes offers you the following detailed spectrum by means of its thorax center:
Lung
Mediastinum
Thoracic wall and pleura
Trachea and bronchi
