Thoracic surgery

Nowadays, endoscopy has become the standard technique for interventional thoracic procedures, from the diagnosis of pleural disorders to major operations such as lobe resection. With the advantages of autofluorescence technology, bronchoscopy has become a useful tool in the early detection of lung tumors. Mediastinoscopy is used to dissect lymph nodes for the purpose of treating and diagnosing the extent of damage in lung cancer.

Karl Storz's thoracic intervention product portfolio includes endoscopic systems and instruments for fully endoscopic and endoscopic assisted surgery, thoracoscopy, mediastinoscopy and bronchoscopy, including fluorescence diagnostic technology.
