Thoracic surgery is the specialty that deals with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the thorax: lung, pleura, mediastinum and chest wall. The prognosis for these conditions improves significantly when they are diagnosed and treated early.
The Thoracic Surgery Unit at HLA La Salud Hospital, led by Dr Dionisio Espinosa Jiménez, offers surgical treatment for a range of thoracic conditions, with 90% of procedures carried out using minimally invasive techniques. Furthermore, it is the centre’s specialist unit for the surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis.
If you present any of these problems or have been referred by another specialist, an evaluation by a thoracic surgery specialist allows the most appropriate approach to be determined.
The detection of a pulmonary nodule on an imaging test requires follow-up and, in some cases, histological study to rule out malignancy. Thoracic surgery allows the resection of pulmonary nodules and tumours using minimally invasive techniques when the stage permits.
A pneumothorax — collapse of a lung due to air entering the pleural cavity — may require surgical intervention when it is recurrent or does not resolve with drainage. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery allows for its treatment with a quick recovery.
The accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity can have multiple causes. Thoracic surgery allows for its diagnosis and treatment when other techniques are not sufficient.
Tumours, cysts and other mediastinal lesions requiring histological diagnosis or surgical removal with maximum anatomical precision and hospital safety.
90% of the procedures carried out by the Thoracic Surgery Unit are performed using video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS), a technique that allows surgery to be carried out inside the chest via small incisions, without the need for open surgery. The benefits are significant: less post-operative pain, a quicker recovery and less impact on respiratory function.
We operate within the chest through small incisions and high-resolution cameras without the need for conventional open surgery.
Today, thanks to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the postoperative respiratory functional impact and patient pain are minimal.
Previously, thoracic surgeries required large incisions and rib spreading with a very painful postoperative period. The minimally invasive technique transforms the surgical experience.
