Thoracic Surgery

Thoracic surgery is a branch of medicine that focuses on the surgical treatment of diseases of the chest organs — including the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, esophagus, and chest wall.

A thoracic surgeon specializes in diagnosing and performing surgical interventions for complex thoracic pathologies.

At Nairi Medical Center, the Thoracic Surgery Department is staffed by experienced specialists and equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology.

Main areas of expertise:

• Surgical treatment of lung and pleural diseases
• Removal of mediastinal tumors and cysts
• Surgical management of esophageal and chest wall disorders
• Treatment of complications caused by pneumonia, trauma, or tumors

Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of successful thoracic surgery. At Nairi Medical Center, modern diagnostic techniques are used to evaluate the structure and function of the thoracic organs, including:

• Chest X-ray and CT (Computed Tomography)
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
• Bronchoscopy — to assess the condition of airways and bronchi
• Thoracoscopy — to examine the pleura and outer surface of the lungs
• Ultrasound of the pleural cavity and mediastinum
• Biopsy and histological examination to determine the nature of pathological processes

Combining these methods allows the medical team to establish an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective surgical strategy.
