for infants, adolescents, adults - a broad spectrum of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services (selected list):

  • Rare lung conditions (interstitial lung conditions / pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension)
  • Thoracic surgery (open / VATS – videoscopically-assisted thoracic surgery techniques / RATS – robot-assisted thoracic surgery techniques
  • bronchoscopy / mediastinoscopy)
  • videoassisted thoracic surgery ("key-hole")
  • standard resections:
  • segmental or wedge resection: removal of only a small part of the lung
  • lobectomy: removal of an entire lobe of the lung
  • pneumonectomy: removal of an entire lung
