The Department of Adult and Pediatric Thoracic Surgery at the Vivantes Neukölln Hospital offers the full range of services in this medical field. The department specializes in the diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases of the lungs, respiratory tract, pleura, mediastinum in adults and children.
