Dr. Jeffrey Port joins Advances in Care host Erin Welsh to discuss advances in thoracic surgery and the unique collaborative care model NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine employs to operate on complex chest tumors. In recent years, new robotic approaches to thoracic surgery have revolutionized the field and currently, NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine is one of only 10 centers nationwide that is performing advanced lung procedures utilizing single port robotic technology, the newest paradigm in minimally invasive surgery. This combination of cutting edge surgical techniques, high case volume, and a multidisciplinary care, is meaningfully expanding treatment options for patients who cannot be treated elsewhere.
