Thoracic Surgery
If you’re a candidate for thoracic surgery, surgery that takes place within the thorax or chest, find out if your procedure can be performed with robotic-assistance.
Our thoracic surgeons are among the most experienced in Northeast Wisconsin, and when it comes to robotic-assisted surgery, experience is the most important factor in good outcomes.
- Esophagectomy - An esophagectomy is the surgical removal of the esophagus as a treatment for cancer or high-grade dysplasia
- Lung Resection - A lung resection is a surgical procedure to remove a portion of the lung or the whole lung
- Heller Myotomy - a surgical procedure in which the muscles of the cardia (lower esophageal sphincter or LES) are cut, allowing food and liquid to pass to the stomach. It is used to treat achalasia, a disorder in which the cardia fails to relax properly, making it difficult to swallow food and liquids.
