Medical specialties comprise various branches of medical science. After completing medical school, physicians or surgeons usually further their medical education in a specific specialty of medicine by completing a multiple year residency to become a medical specialist.
Cardiothoracic surgery is the field of medicine involved in surgical treatment of diseases affecting organs inside the chest - the heart, lungs and esophagus. A cardiothoracic surgeon performs open heart surgeries for valve repair and replacements and coronary artery bypasses.
