Minimally invasive procedures

Many cardiothoracic conditions can be treated with minimally invasive techniques. Because these procedures involve small incisions and do not require the chest to be opened, patients experience a much shorter recovery time, less pain, have shorter hospital stays and a reduced chance of infection and complications.

Other conditions treated by a cardiothoracic surgeon:

A cardiothoracic surgeon may use minimally invasive techniques to diagnose infections and tumors, conduct biopsies, repair heart valves, perform esophageal surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is also used during lung cancer surgery, and during thoracic outlet syndrome treatment.

Learn more about cardiothoracic surgery and the many other surgical procedures provided by Salem Hospital physicians, including bariatric surgery, cancer surgery, colorectal surgery, neurosurgery, and surgeries for weight loss, including the gastric sleeve procedure.
