Robotic Thoracic Procedures Program
Overview
The Thoracic Surgery Program within Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Thoracic Surgery Department offers pioneering minimally invasive robotic methods to treat thoracic conditions. This expertise allows us to care for all types of conditions affecting the lungs and chest, including rare and complex cases.
Our surgeons work as part of a multidisciplinary team, which includes pulmonary medicine specialists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons and general surgeons to provide comprehensive care for thoracic conditions.
The availability of such innovative robotic techniques to treat thoracic conditions offers many benefits to patients. Robotic surgery uses smaller incisions, reduces postoperative pain, supports faster recovery, and provides better access for complex cases that would otherwise require a more invasive approach.
