AboutAbout the lab
Respiratory surgery, which became independent from the Thoracic Surgery department.
The Respiratory Surgery (Thoracic Surgery) lab is a department of Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine and also a clinical department of respiratory surgery.
The Thoracic Surgery department was founded in 1983, and it later carried out clinical work, research, and education under a two-department system of cardiac surgery and respiratory surgery.
In 2013, respiratory surgery became independent as its own department and clinical service, and the second professor took up the post in 2019.
The site introduces lung cancer, thymic epithelial tumors, pleural mesothelioma, robotic surgery, single-port thoracoscopic surgery, and lung transplantation.
