Cardiothoracic Surgery & Lung Procedures at WHMG

Your lungs are the organs in your body that facilitate the exchange of gases between your blood and the air that you breathe—meaning oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled. Cardiothoracic surgeons perform procedures on the organs in the thorax or chest, including the lungs. There are numerous pulmonary or lung conditions and diseases that may require treatment from a cardiothoracic surgeon from Washington Health Medical Group.

Our cardiothoracic surgery department at WHMG performs a number of lung procedures including:

• Brachymesh placement
• Chestwall resection and reconstructions

With a highly skilled cardiothoracic ready to care for you, WHMG provides peace of mind and comfort during this time.
