| In the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Tel Aviv Medical Center, a wide range of thoracic surgeries are performed, including:
1. Lobectomy or pneumonectomy due to malignant lesions.
2. Wedge resections from lungs as part of a biopsy or to remove metastatic lesions.
3. Mediastinal biopsies.
4. Pleurodesis.
5. Sympathectomies.
A large number of these surgeries are performed via thoracoscopy with the assistance of a video camera, without a thoracotomy. |
