The Claraspital offers the full range of thoracic surgical procedures by the thoracic surgery department. Our pulmonologists carry out the investigations and care of patients during their hospitalisation. The indication for surgery is discussed on an interdisciplinary basis.
Course of treatment
The collaboration between thoracic surgery and pneumology at the Claraspital is very intensive and extends from the consultation to the operation to discharge. For patients, this means continuous care, which is greatly appreciated.

Lung cancer is one of the most common types of tumour that requires rapid and state-of-the-art treatment. The treatment of this form of cancer is a speciality at the Claraspital. In most cases, the aim is to remove the tumour - this is the best treatment in the early stages. The chances of recovery are good, at 90%.
The surgical spectrum includes all procedures from minimally invasive partial lung removal to the removal of an entire lung. In the case of small tumours, care is now taken to remove as little lung tissue as possible in order to preserve lung function. As acentre of excellence, the Department of Pneumology/Thoracic Surgery can offer complete interdisciplinary treatment of the lungs.
