The thoracic surgeon, specialized in minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery, Michalis Klimatsidas, recently performed a right thoracoscopic pneumonectomy at Medical Transbalkanikos, removing the lung from an incision of only 4 centimeters! From Great Britain he returns to his home town, Thessaloniki, to apply the most modern one-hole technique, which replaces thoracotomy for 80% and more patients with cancer and other lung diseases. He talks to us about this new technique and its benefits for the patient.
