barnaclínic+ Thoracic Surgery is a service dedicated to the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of chest diseases. Our professionals offer cutting-edge surgical techniques and cancer therapies, with a primary focus on research into early diagnosis of lung cancer, improved tumour staging, and prediction of recurrent disease. We take a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of lung cancer and other chest diseases, so we can simplify the patient experience with all thoracic surgery specialists.
The Department of Thoracic Surgery at barnaclínic+ has an outstanding team of surgeons specialised in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of thoracic conditions. Our approach focuses on the application of cutting-edge techniques, allowing us to offer minimally invasive surgical interventions, such as robotic and video-thoracoscopic surgery, for a faster and more effective recovery. In addition, our multidisciplinary team includes experts in Radiology, Oncology, Pulmonology, Pathological Anatomy, Nuclear Medicine and other related fields, guaranteeing comprehensive and specialised care at each stage of the treatment. Trust us to provide you with the best possible care in the management of thoracic diseases.
At barnaclínic+ we stand out for our experience in robotic thoracic surgery (RTS), a type of surgical technique that offers greater precision and visibility, significantly improving surgical results. Our professionals have experience and are references in both conventional and innovative techniques, such as URTS (uniportal robotic thoracic surgeries). URTS is distinguished by its approach with a single-entry port, reducing invasiveness and improving surgical results. This technique allows for complex procedures with minimal incisions, which translates into faster recovery, less pain, and fewer postoperative complications. Additionally, URTS preserves lung function and improves aesthetics, providing our patients with an advanced and highly beneficial surgical experience.
At barnaclínic+, video thoracoscopic surgery (VTS), used in more than 85% of lung resections to treat lung cancer, is distinguished by its minimally invasive approach. Through small incisions, both malignant and benign lung tumours can be removed. However, VATS has some limitations compared to robotic surgery, such as the lack of articulation of the instruments and two-dimensional vision.
Our professionals, surgeons, medical specialists, nursing team and patient care staff, are specialised in the treatment and care of patients like you. Our surgeons are international leaders in thoracic surgery and in the application of the latest robotic surgery techniques.
