Thoracic Surgery

At First Physicians Group Thoracic Surgery, our world-renowned surgeons specialize in the treatment of both benign and cancerous conditions of the chest cavity area, which encompasses the trachea, lungs, esophagus, mediastinum (area between lungs where heart is located), diaphragm and chest wall (rib cage). These conditions include:

  • Lung cancer
  • Benign lung disorders
  • Chest wall tumors
  • Paraesophageal hernia repair
  • Esophagectomy
  • Tracheobronchial Malacia
  • End-stage lung disease

Conditions that affect the body’s thoracic region can be very complex, and often require multi-disciplinary care from multiple teams of specialists. The First Physicians Group Thoracic Surgery team works with care teams across the Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, including pulmonologists and both medical and radiation oncologists, to provide a comprehensive range of minimally invasive interventions and leading-edge surgical solutions.
