La recherche médicale et clinique fait partie des objectifs des HUG. Le développement de stratégies diagnostiques et thérapeutiques performantes et peu invasives est la principale mission de recherche du Service.
Il y a 2 axes principaux de recherche.
The sternum, the 12 vertebrates and both sides of the ribs forming the rib cage. It holds and protects a large number of vital organs such as the lungs and constitutes, to this effect, a complex barrier to gaining access to treatments. Treating thoracic pathologies by opting for minimally invasive techniques is the mission of the Thoracic Surgery Division.
