Thoracic Surgery

St. John’s Mercy’s dedicated thoracic surgeons offer patients a variety of surgical options to treat thoracic conditions. The thorax – which means “breastplate” in Latin – essentially contains any body part that would have been covered by a soldier’s armor in ancient Rome.

Thoracic surgeries include:

• Removing esophageal, lung or chest-wall tumors
• Reconstructing organs after traumatic injury
• Repairing esophageal damage to untreated or chronic acid reflux disease
• Correcting birth defects in the thoracic region.
