Overview.

Cardiothoracic surgery is dedicated to surgical interventions within the chest, encompassing the heart and lungs. Cardiothoracic Surgery specializes in surgical procedures of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest. This includes coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair and replacement, lung resection, and surgeries for esophageal cancer. The field requires a high level of expertise and precision, given the complexity and critical nature of these organs.
