Thoracic Surgery

Overview

When your Mayo Clinic doctor recommends thoracic surgery for a disease or condition that affects your lungs or chest, your treatment team will provide every service from diagnosis to discharge. Your doctor works closely with the team so that you can choose from appropriate treatments and return home with the necessary information about managing your condition, what types of physical activity you can perform and how to manage everyday activities.
