What Is Cardiothoracic Surgery?
Cardiothoracic surgery is a specialised branch of medicine focused on the treatment of heart, lung, and chest conditions through surgical procedures. Our cardiothoracic surgeons in Singapore perform a wide range of surgeries, including coronary artery bypass, heart valve repair and replacement, lung cancer surgery, minimally invasive thoracic procedures, and chest wall reconstruction. Cardiothoracic surgery helps improve heart and lung function, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications from serious cardiovascular and thoracic conditions.
