 Thoracic surgery is, it's a fairly new discipline, which is a little separate from cardiac surgery where we deal with disorders of the chest wall, the lungs, the esophagus. Those include benign and malignant diseases as well as transplantation. And the diseases range from multiple things, from cancer, cancer, the lung cancer, the esophagus, to trauma, to benign things such as hernias. A lot of times the stomach will herniate into the chest and that's something that we commonly deal with. Also the University of Maryland is one of the few centers in the country where thoracic surgery literally encompasses every possible disease you can envision. There are very few centers, for example, there are a lot of centers where you'll do a lot of lung surgery, but they're not experts in esophageal surgery, they're not experts in transplantation of the lung. They're not experts in chest wall deformities. So we have a big catch area from people that practice a very special niche in the community and outside hospital, including surrounding states, because we're able to capture and expertly deal with all these disease processes. The nice thing is we really fit into the University of Maryland, which is a world-class institution. So we have world-class gastroenterologists we can deal with to deal with hernias. World-class pulmonologists can deal with disorders of the lung as well as lung cancer and our cancer center is obviously expert in dealing with a lot of the disease processes. We also have a very robust sarcoma practice. Sarcoma is a very, very rare type of cancer. Sometimes it happens in the chest and a lot of centers don't have expertise in dealing with this and we're a fairly large sarcoma center combining surgical and medical multidisciplinary care of these patients. One of the advantages is we see patients very, very quickly. If you call our office, you likely will be seen within a week. If you don't get seen within a week, it's kind of your choice. One of the reasons for this is our service covers multiple hospitals. From the downtown campus to Upper Chesapeake to Capital Region Medical Center to BWMC. So no matter where you live within the Maryland area, there's a University of Maryland thoracic surgeon that's close to you. They can see you expeditiously and provide their expert opinion.
