We are a specialist department for heart and lung patients requiring careful monitoring, advanced treatment, and nursing after thoracic surgery. We are constantly developing new working methods, with catheter-based surgery, robotic surgery, and larger heart/lung surgical operations, which means we are expanding and developing the postoperative operations. Within thoracic care, we have close collaboration and shared responsibility, allowing us to plan, implement, and evaluate the entire patient care chain. Efficiency and patient safety are our focus!
