Thoracic surgery Warsaw
Thoracic surgery is a branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical treatment of chest diseases.
What does a consultation with a thoracic surgeon involve?
A consultation with a thoracic surgeon begins with a thorough patient history regarding symptoms and medical history. The doctor may ask about chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, or other respiratory issues.
Following the history, a detailed physical examination is conducted, during which the doctor assesses the patient's breathing, auscultates the lungs, and evaluates overall health. Depending on the symptoms and physical examination findings, the thoracic surgeon may order additional diagnostic tests, such as a chest X-ray, computed tomography, or pulmonary function tests.
If a serious condition is suspected, the doctor will discuss possible treatment options with the patient, including potential surgery. Together, they will decide on the next steps
What conditions does a thoracic surgeon most often deal with?
A thoracic surgeon specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of chest diseases. The most common conditions treated by a thoracic surgeon include:
