Lung Surgery

Essentially lung surgery is when a part of the lung is either repaired or removed. Some people who have been diagnosed with lung cancer may be offered lung surgery as treatment. So, today I speak with Dr Chris Merry a Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Fiona Stanley Hospital and at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco to learn more about Lung Surgery. Dr Merry explains what is generally involved when having lung surgery and how this surgery has given much hope to people suffering from a number of lung diseases including; lung cancer. After speaking with Dr Merry I was in absolute awe in how truly incredible our lungs are at adapting to having parts of the lung removed and still being able to breathe and function. Every interview of Meditalk makes me continue to be amazed with the human body and how truly magnificiant it is and how medicine is continuing to evolve over time challenging diseases and conditions.
