Case Reports in Invasive Thoracic Surgery is a dedicated section of our journal that publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed clinical case reports highlighting diagnostic challenges, surgical innovations, and outcome-focused management of complex thoracic conditions. This section aims to disseminate real-world surgical experiences that contribute to clinical learning, technical refinement, and evidence-based practice in thoracic surgery.
We welcome reports that describe novel surgical approaches, rare pathologies, unusual complications, and challenging decision-making scenarios encountered in invasive and minimally invasive thoracic procedures.
