Equipped with bronchial and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, thoracic ultrasound, and a complete set of endoscopic surgical instruments, the thoracic surgery team has entirely transplanted the thoracic surgery experience at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital to the En Chu Kong hospital. We offer comprehensive and accurate pre-operative assessment, complete treatment, comprehensive post-operative follow-up care, and all-inclusive thoracic surgical in Southern Taipei and Da Taoyuan areas. You do not need to squeeze into a medical center in Taipei but still enjoy the same medical treatment here.
- Introduction
- Service items
Thoracic surgery may be applied to remove lesions in different organs and sites such as the lung, esophagus, trachea, mediastinum, diaphragm, pleura, chest wall, and gastric cardia. Patients requiring the treatments may consult our experts or be referred to our department.
- Lung
The diseases include lung cancer, pulmonary nodules, tuberculoma, free lung, lung metastases, and emphysema. Before the lung surgery, we assess the patient’s pre-operative lung function, cardiac function, and exercise capacity to ensure a quality outcome after surgery.
- esophagus
The diseases include esophageal cancer, esophageal achalasia, esophageal diverticulum, gastroesophageal reflux, esophageal erosion, stenosis, and other dysfunctions. In the case of esophageal diseases, esophageal function testing is carried out as a routine item in the examination list besides the pre-operative evaluation of the upper digestive tract endoscopy so that both functional esophageal diseases and malignant tumors are treated effectively.
- trachea
The diseases include tracheal tumors, stenosis, softening, tuberculosis, and bronchiectasis can be managed surgically. We provide the most appropriate medical treatment, either when removing a tracheal tumor or placing an endotracheal stent.
- Mediastinum
The diseases include thymoma, myasthenia gravis, malformation, neuroma, and other mediastinal tumors can be managed surgically. For mediastinal tumors, the surgical managements available include thoracoscopic surgery, medial laparoscopic surgery, or even the median sternotomy.

The diseases include diaphragmatic hernia, gastroesophageal reflux, diaphragmatic defects, and many others. A variety of gastroesophageal reflux surgeries are available.
