 | | Thoracic surgery is the repair of organs located in the thorax, or chest. | | | Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a thoracic endoscope (thoracoscope) to allow the surgeon to view the chest cavity. | | | Thoracic surgery is usually performed by a surgeon who specializes in either general thoracic surgery or cardiothoracic surgery. |

| | Thoracic cavity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The thoracic cavity is the chamber of the human body (and other animal bodies) that is protected by the thoracic wall (thoracic cage and associated skin, muscle, and fascia). | | | If the thoracic cavity is breached from the outside, as by a bullet wound or knife wound, a pneumothorax, or air in the cavity, usually results, often leading to one or both lungs collapsing and requiring immediate medical attention. | | | This page was last modified 00:06, 4 October 2005. |

| | The connection between the vagus nerve and the pharyngeal arches that give rise to the larynx is established early in development. | | | As the heart migrates from the region of the pharynx to the thoracic cavity, it pulls nerves with it, causing the laryngeal nerve supply to detour into the thoracic cavity on its way to the larynx. | | | The nerves found in the thoracic cavity are either sympathetic or parasympathetic autonomic nerves, with two exceptions. |

| | The size of the thoracic cavity is constantly varying during life with the movements of the ribs and diaphragm, and with the degree of distention of the abdominal viscera. | | | From the collapsed state of the lungs as seen when the thorax is opened in the dead body, it would appear as if the viscera only partly filled the cavity, but during life there is no vacant space, that which is seen after death being filled up by the expanded lungs. | | | The heart lies between the two lungs, and is enclosed within a fibrous bag, the pericardium, while each lung is invested by a serous membrane, the pleura. |
