At Ascension Saint Thomas Medical Partners Franklin Chest and Lung Center, our team specializes in comprehensive thoracic surgery and the management of complex conditions within the chest cavity. Our board-certified thoracic surgeons utilize the latest in robotic-assisted and image-guided technology to perform minimally invasive procedures with precision.

We focus on the surgical treatment of the lungs, esophagus, mediastinum, and chest wall, offering advanced interventions such as Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) and robotic resections. By coordinating closely with oncologists and gastroenterologists, we ensure a multidisciplinary approach to surgical care.

Specialized Thoracic Procedures & Treatments:

  • Chest wall reconstruction: Correction of chest wall deformities and trauma
  • Esophageal & foregut surgery: Repair of hiatal hernias and treatment of esophageal cancers and swallowing disorders.
  • Minimally invasive diagnostics: Navigational bronchoscopy and low-dose screening for early detection.
  • Thoracic oncology: Surgical management of lung nodules, masses, and mediastinal tumors.

If you are a long-time smoker and have a persistent unproductive cough, we provide painless, low-dose CT lung scans. This lung screening test takes just a few minutes and is proven to detect lung cancer earlier when most treatable.

Our thoracic surgeons lead a comprehensive care team to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality. We collaborate directly with medical oncologists, radiation specialists, and gastroenterologists to design cohesive treatment plans for even the most complex chest and lung conditions.

We listen to you to help make sure you receive care that is right for you. We treat the whole person – body, mind, and spirit.
