The development of minimally invasive techniques is transforming this specialty. Making small incisions in the chest facilitates access to areas that used to be reached through large-scale procedures. Devices capable of generating high-resolution, 3D images and instruments made from new materials offer greater reach and flexibility.

Thoracic surgery identifies and treats diseases that affect the internal organs of the chest. It is one of the medical specialties that has most benefited from the technological advances of recent years. The use of minimally invasive techniques has enabled millions of people to benefit from more effective, less traumatic, less painful treatments with rapid recovery.

Hyperhidrosis is an excessive increase in sweating, primarily affecting the hands, armpits, and feet. The sweating process is necessary for controlling body temperature and is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. It is estimated that about 1.7% of the world’s population has an inappropriate functioning of this system. It is possible to minimize the discomfort caused by excessive sweating in certain areas of the body.

Congenital deformities of the chest wall are a fairly common pathology in our population and are increasingly recognized compared to past years. Technological and digital advancements have enabled young people to research and learn more about this pathology, contributing to greater awareness of the deformity and its treatment.

Uniportal access for robotic thoracic surgery represents a natural evolution of minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS). It was developed by pioneering surgeons in all aspects of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (U-VATS), following the same principles of a single incision, while using the latest robotic technology—the da Vinci XI platform.

Robotic Cardiac Surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a surgical robot controlled by a surgeon to perform complex cardiac procedures. The robot is equipped with articulated surgical instruments and a miniature camera, allowing the surgeon an enlarged and precise view of the heart. During surgery, the surgeon manipulates the instruments from a console near the patient, guiding the robot to the area to be treated. The technique is less invasive than traditional surgeries, with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery time.
