Pulmonary surgery means all surgical procedures of the chest and lungs. These include both benign conditions, such as a collapsed lung, and malignant conditions, such as lung cancer.
Almost all interventions are performed via keyhole surgery or thoracoscopy.
Within the Jan Yperman Hospital, we wish to approach all lung pathology in a multidisciplinary manner. To this end, we work closely with other specialists such as pulmonologists, oncologists and radiologists.
