| Thoracoscopic surgery | ||
 |
We perform 5-port video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) as the standard
procedure because of not only minimum invasive operation, but also secure
curative operation. At least one specialist of general thoracic surgery
is included in the operating team to ensure the safety of all operations. We sometimes provide reduced port surgery, such as uniportal VATS, as extra-minimum operation. ( The indication of operating methods depend on the situation of clinical staging and patients' physical condition. |

|
The effectiveness of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is reported from many institutions since RATS is covered by insurance. My hospital introduces da Vinci Xi surgical system, which is applied to anatomical lung resection for malignant lung tumor such as lung cancer. Please feel free to inform us if you want to have robotic surgery. |

With the conbination of multimodal therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation and extend operation, we offer radical surgery against advanced lung cancer, even some cases diagnosed inoperable by other institutions. We provide a second opinion support system. Please feel free to contact us. | |
