Thoracic Surgery

At Yale Medicine, our thoracic surgery team specializes in treating a wide range of chest-related conditions, from lung and esophageal cancers to other thoracic issues that may not involve cancer. Our highly skilled surgeons understand the importance of a gentle, compassionate approach to patient care, ensuring a supportive experience for those who may be facing challenging diagnoses.

Trained in the most advanced surgical techniques, our team uses minimally invasive surgery whenever possible instead of traditional surgery, which typically requires larger incisions. This approach is designed to minimize your discomfort and help you to heal faster. Through the use of less invasive techniques, you can look forward to a quicker recovery, with less time spent in the hospital and better results after surgery.
