Hospital da Luz Setúbal has now a team of thoracic surgery – the surgical speciality dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, diaphragm, and thoracic wall – leaded by specialist Daniel Cabral . Hospital da Luz Setúbal thus extends the range of differentiated healthcare offered to the population. “Minimally invasive approach is the preferred route in thoracic surgery”, points out Daniel Macedo, for it “allows efficient and less painful treatments with faster recovery”. Moreover, he adds, this is “a speciality interconnected with other areas, such as pulmonology, oncology, imagiology, paediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, dermatology, neurology and general surgery”. Primary hyperhidrosis, pneumothorax and pulmonary emphysema, pleural effusion, lung cancer, and pulmonary metastases, as well as mediastinal tumours are a few of the diseases treated in thoracic surgery. The scheduling of consultations and exams at Hospital da Luz Setúbal can be made on MY LUZ app or the MY LUZ web version
