Our Operations

Thoracic surgery is part of Akademiska sjukhuset's specialized clinic for surgical treatment of thoracic diseases. Here, diseases of the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels are operated on. The most common diagnoses are coronary artery disease, valve disorders, aortic aneurysms, and lung tumors. We also perform ECMO treatments for indications of respiratory failure and heart failure.

Our operating department is a modern and high-tech unit with five operating rooms for conventional thoracic surgery and an intervention room for catheter-based interventions, as well as a room for robotic surgery (100 house). We have close collaboration across the entire field of operations and a shared responsibility for the entire care chain, which allows us to plan, implement, and evaluate the entire patient flow. We work with short decision-making paths, where long-term thinking and quality are key principles.

At thoracic surgery, you will have the chance to become part of a highly specialized and exciting operation where you will work in a very efficient organization with a professional team that together delivers specialist care with very high medical quality.

At the thoracic clinic, anesthetist nurses work with thoracic anesthesia both in the operating rooms, intervention room, and robotic room.
