Cardiothoracic Surgeons

Cardiothoracic surgery is a medical field specialising in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases of the thorax. The thorax comprises the heart and the lungs and is a complex area requiring specialist investigation. Advances in technology have enabled many non-intrusive surgical procedures to be developed that are safer when dealing with the area concerned.

After six years of undergraduate medical training these experts received focused training in the field of cardiothoracic surgery and are members of the Royal College of Surgeons, specialising in surgery of the heart and lungs.

There are many common procedures carried out by a cardiothoracic surgeon including cardiac surgery, open heart surgery, heart valve reconstruction and coronary bypass.

Those who consult with a cardiothoracic surgeon require surgical intervention with a disorder experienced in the heart or lungs.
