Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

Treatment in Minnesota

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota was the site of some of the first VATS procedures nearly 20 years ago. Today, the expertise of the thoracic surgeons and postoperative staff provide integrated care before, during and after the procedure. All procedures described in these pages are available at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. VATS is performed by surgeons within the Department of Thoracic Surgery.
