Cardiothoracic surgery is the specialty involved with the treatment of diseases affecting organs within the thorax (the chest), principally the heart, lungs and oesophagus. It is a relatively young specialty which has grown rapidly since the Second World War (the first successful open heart procedure using the heart-lung machine was preformed in 1953). Procedures are often lengthy and complex, requiring support from advanced forms of technology during surgery and intensive therapy for the patient after surgery.
