This medical achievement stayed with him and inspired him to become a doctor himself. Now, Dr. Schmetterer has his own practice in Youngstown, Ohio and performs advanced surgeries across many hospitals in Ohio as well.

Let’s take a look at what he does in these categories:

For thoracic (Lung Disease), Dr. Schmetterer treats many patients with lung cancer or infections within the chest. He may perform a Thoracotomy. This procedure provides the surgeon with safe access to most areas of the chest. In most cases the incision is minimalist, sparing muscle and nerves, meaning that muscles and nerves are not cut or compressed. This provides for a quicker, less painful recovery and a smaller scar. Following surgery, Dr. Schmetterer also places a pain buster catheter inside the chest at surgery, which further reduces postoperative discomfort.

For Mediastinal Disease Treatment, evaluation often begins with a biopsy which is typically completed in a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Further treatment may also be completed with a minimal approach, but at times will require more extensive surgery. The mediastinum comprises the area between the lungs and outside of the heart and greater vessels. This can be the site of abnormalities of a congenital nature, or benign or malignant growths.

For Venous Disease Treatment, Dr. Lawrence Schmetterer is a vascular surgeon and specializes in treating varicose veins, leg pain and vascular issues right here in ohio.
