Magdeburg University Hospital's Department of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery; treats chest cancers in Magdeburg, Germany Most procedures are minimally invasive.

UNIVERSITY CLINIC FOR CARDIAC AND THORACIC SURGERY

Welcome to the website of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the University Medical Center of Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.

As part of the Department of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery, we treat diseases of the lungs, the chest, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. Our focus is on the treatment of cancers of the chest. Thanks to state-of-the-art surgical techniques, we perform the majority of our surgical procedures as minimally invasive surgeries. In addition to providing optimal medical care, our staff is committed to ensuring that our patients are “jut jeht” and feel comfortable with us. On the linked web pages, you’ll find all the important information you need to contact us or to learn more about treatment in our department as well as our teaching and research activities.

We’re happy to be here for you! Yours,

Prof. Dr. med. Thorsten Walles
