About the department
The Department of Thoracic Surgery at the University Hospital Erlangen offers all types of modern surgical interventions for the treatment of diseases of the lungs, thorax and mediastinal organs. The team of the department's surgeons specializes in operations of any complexity, ranging from minor diagnostic interventional procedures to serious operations using a heart-lung machine. One of the key clinical interests of the department's doctors is lung cancer treatment. The patients with this diagnosis receive interdisciplinary treatment that combines tumor resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Another area of specialization of the medical facility is laser thoracic surgery, which allows preserving the lung parenchyma, for example, in the treatment of lung metastases. The range of services is complemented by surgical correction of thoracic deformities in adults, for example, pectus excavatum, and minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of hyperhidrosis. In addition, the department's thoracic surgeons have a wealth of experience in innovative video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Dr.h.c. Horia Sirbu.
The department's specialists are convinced that a decisive role in the successful treatment outcome is played by close cooperation with doctors from the related medical disciplines: pulmonologists, radiation therapists, oncologists and radiologists. In many cases, it is a multidisciplinary approach that provides the highest chances of recovery. Thanks to cooperation with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Erlangen, close contact of all colleagues involved in the patient's treatment and monitoring of his condition in dynamics is possible.
The availability of innovative technologies and modern medical equipment allows the department's doctors to perform many operations using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The advantages of this technique are obvious – the absence of the need for thoracotomy significantly shortens and simplifies the recovery period after surgery. In addition, when performing such interventions, there is no need for artificial ventilation. Numerous studies confirm both high efficiency and safety of such interventions. The team of surgeons of the medical facility specializes in atypical lung resection, lymph node and mediastinal tumor resection, debridement for pleural empyema, bullectomy, lung volume reduction surgery, pericardial cyst resection, metastasis removal and other interventions using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery techniques. The patient is already discharged from the hospital after a few days, while classic operations with thoracotomy require a long recovery period.
The department also offers advanced laser technologies for the removal of metastases in the lungs, including multiple ones. High-risk patients can also undergo laser surgery to resect a segment of the lung.
The team of thoracic surgeons working in the medical facility successfully performs thoracoscopic interventions for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. When performing such manipulations, a surgeon makes a small puncture of the chest wall and inserts a thoracoscope into the pleural cavity. The thoracoscope is a special instrument that is a narrow tube with a camera at the end. The method is minimally traumatic and, if performed professionally, does not cause any complications. The thoracoscopic technique is most often used in the department for lung and pleura biopsies, pleurodesis, and sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis.
The department's main clinical focuses include:
- Diagnostics and surgical treatment of lung cancer
- Diagnostics and surgical treatment of chest wall tumors
- Diagnostics and surgical treatment of pulmonary emphysema
