Thoracic surgery and interventional pulmonology are two closely related fields that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the chest. Thoracic surgeons perform surgery on the lungs, heart, and other organs in the chest, while interventional pulmonologists use minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat lung diseases.

In recent years, there has been a growing convergence between thoracic surgery and interventional pulmonology. This is due in part to the development of new technologies that have made it possible to perform less invasive surgical procedures. As a result, thoracic surgeons are now able to perform more complex procedures on patients who would not have been candidates for surgery in the past.

Interventional pulmonologists are also using new technologies to develop new ways to diagnose and treat lung diseases. For example, interventional pulmonologists can now use bronchoscopy to remove small tumors from the lungs. They can also use interventional pulmonology techniques to insert stents into the airways to keep them open.

The convergence of thoracic surgery and interventional pulmonology is leading to new and innovative ways to diagnose and treat diseases of the chest. This is good news for patients, as it means that they have more options for treatment than ever before.
