Previous editions of this book (formerly published in the Rob & Smith Series) have established it as the pre-eminent guide to thoracic surgery. The work is a major revision edited by two well-respected surgeons and includes a host of prestigious international contributors.
A comprehensive reference to operative procedures in this area, the book illustrates each procedure by a series of high-quality, full colour line illustrations, accompanied by detailed notes on operative technique. Additional text describes the principles and justification of choosing each procedure, pre-operative assessment and preparation, post-operative care and outcomes.
The book is a gold standard teaching aid on operative thoracic surgery, and in addition, an invaluable reference for experienced thoracic and cardiothoracic surgeons approaching unfamiliar or uncommon procedures.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Overall, this text is a useful and valuable addition to the literature of our specialty. It will be most useful to students, residents, and surgeons in thoracic and general surgery, particularly those with an interest in the esophagus ... It is highly recommended, and this reviewer's copy will undoubtedly face heavy use in the coming years."
