丂Our fields are various types of thoracic diseases as follows: lung cancer,
mesothelioma, mediastinal tumor, pneumothorax, empyema, infectious lung
disease, and myasthenia gravis.
丂The expertise we can provide are general thoracic surgery with conventional thoracotomy, thoracoscpic surgery and bronchoscopy including rigid bronchoscopy.
丂Affiliated hospitals help our activity in point of diagnostic and therapeutic thoracoscopic surgery.

| Thoracoscopic surgery | ||
 |
丂We perform 5-port video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) as the standard
procedure because of not only minimum invasive operation, but also secure
curative operation. At least one specialist of general thoracic surgery
is included in the operating team to ensure the safety of all operations. 丂We sometimes provide reduced port surgery, such as uniportal VATS, as extra-minimum operation. ( The indication of operating methods depend on the situation of clinical staging and patients' physical condition. |

|
The effectiveness of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is reported from many institutions since RATS is covered by insurance. My hospital introduces da Vinci Xi surgical system, which is applied to anatomical lung resection for malignant lung tumor such as lung cancer. Please feel free to inform us if you want to have robotic surgery. |

| Radical surgery for advanced cancer | ||
 |
丂With the conbination of multimodal therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation and extend operation, we offer radical surgery against advanced lung cancer, even some cases diagnosed inoperable by other institutions. We provide a second opinion support system. Please feel free to contact us. | |
| Bronchoscopic intervention (Flexible and rigid bronchoscopy) |
||
 |
丂Some patients having inoperable lung cancer can feel dyspnea due to stenosis
or obstruction of the airway. In this situation, interventional bronchoscopy
can perform as palliative treatment. We perform bronchoscopic intervention
including rigid bronchoscopy such as partial tumor resection and airway
stent placement. 丂Moreover, we offer bronchoscopic occlusion therapies against bronchopleural fistula, which can be occurred after anatomical lung resection and mostly require surgical intervention. Second opinion is accepted in the same way as thoracic surgery. |
