[The thoracic surgery department]
Abstract
The Department of Thoracic Surgery has been developed since 40 years, and particularly since 23 years at the Hôpital Erasme. The high rate of lung cancers did induce an important activity in surgical oncology, inside multidisciplinary teams. After a first attempt in 1969, lung transplantation is now successful. Infectious diseases, traumas and functional respiratory defects impose heavy daily charge. Research has been developed in lung transplantation, thyroid metabolism, respiratory mechanics and clinical trial in oncology.
