Thoracoscopic surgery: Operation without thoracotomy

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!

He talks to us about this new technique and its benefits for the patient.
