Description
This "mini-textbook" zeroes in on the most practical, need-to-know information in thoracic surgery. Coverage progresses from key basic science knowledge, perioperative care, and general diagnostic and operative procedures...through the surgical treatment of lung cancer and emphysema...to the management of non-pulmonary thoracic diseases such as chest wall disorders, tracheal and diaphragmatic injuries, pleural diseases, and mediastinal masses. A concise, logical, and consistent organization makes the material easy to review.

Audience
General Surgeons and Residents, Cardiothoracic Surgeons and Residents, Senior Medical Students and Fellows
