Thoracic Surgery

We offer unparalleled experience in the treatment and management of cancers of the lung, esophagus, thymus, chest wall, motility issues of the esophagus, and other cancerous and noncancerous conditions.

Yale thoracic surgeons perform the majority of their surgeries using minimally invasive techniques for both routine and complex cases that are typically done through open surgery at other hospitals. Better ways of achieving pain control, evidence-based care, and leading-edge technology means patients often experience shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery than they would have with traditional open surgery.
