Welcome to the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the German Medical Institute (GMI).
Our department is a modern, highly specialised centre for Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery, offering the full spectrum of thoracic procedures with a focus on Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). We are dedicated to providing individualised care, prioritising patient safety, rapid postoperative recovery, and long-term treatment success, always aligned with the latest international guidelines in thoracic surgery.
Operating within a fully equipped and technologically advanced hospital environment, our team manages even the most complex thoracic cases, offering surgical treatment for a wide range of conditions affecting the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, and chest wall.

Combined with our state-of-the-art equipment, this integrated approach allows us to provide thoracic surgery at the highest standards of precision, safety, and effectiveness.
