Yes: Chest surgery is almost always "major surgery". A good surgeon will be trained and experienced in minimally invasive techniques and choose the best surgical approach for you to achieve the surgical goal with the least invasive technique safely applicable. After surgery, techniques and medications will be used to alleviate pain and discomfort as much as is safely possible.
