Minimally invasive techniques are being increasingly applied in thoracic surgery. Today, diagnosis and therapy for diseases involving tumors of the lungs, the mediastinum, and the chest wall can be carried out using minimally invasive approaches. More than 60% of the interventions are carried out using endoscopic techniques. Shorter hospital stays for patients and a reduction in post-operative complaints are the result.
Storz supplies the complete product range for endoscopic thoracic surgery. It also comprises innovative system solutions for single-port thoracoscopy, video mediastinoscopy and Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS).
A long track record of experience in thoracic endoscopy – an area in our company with strong links to bronchoscopy – allows synergies to be achieved.
