Being established at 2010, there’re more than 1000 patients who received video-assisted thoracic surgery so far in our hospital for benign or malignant pulmonary neoplasm, esophageal reconstruction, mediastinal tumor removal, and chest wall/pleural diseases.

The 3D simulation and localization program, established on August 2014, is collaborated by thoracic surgeons and radiologists. By pre-operative three-dimensional localization and simulation, the thoracic surgeons made precise resection possible with adequate surgical margin, preserved pulmonary function and better post-operative quality of life.

We published series of peer-reviewed journal related to surgical outcome of lung cancer, pre-operative simulation for segmentectomy and tumor localization. We are also the first-and-only medical center in Taiwan who applied 3D printing technology in the Nuss procedure.

We received trainee oversea in every year from clerkship exchange to short-term fellowship training program.
