Lt. Col. (Dr.) Shae Pribyl, left, cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Saudra Kabagamba, center, civilian resident, and Senior Airman Michael Dickison, 60th Surgical Operations Squadron, perform video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to remove the upper left lobe in a lung cancer patient Feb. 26, 2019 at the David Grant USAF Medical Center heart, lung and vascular center, Travis Air Force Base, California. During the procedure, surgeons inserted a tiny camera (thoracoscope) into the patient’s chest through two small incisions in the chest wall. The thoracoscope transmits images to a video monitor, guiding the surgeons in performing the procedure. Because of its partnership with the Veterans Administration Northern California Health Care System, the HLVC provides one-stop care for patients with diseases of the heart, lungs and circulation.
