Thoracic Surgical Techniques

Thoracic Surgical Techniques, 2nd Edition, is a surgical reference that provides a comprehensive overview of routine and rarely performed operations. The 2018 volume extensively revises the original 1990 edition to outline practical operative steps for clinical practice.

The volume details procedures such as thymectomy, median sternotomy, lung biopsies, and rib resection for empyema. Coverage also includes pulmonary resections, such as left and right lower lobectomies, while taking into account individual variations in surgical execution.

Featuring concise technical descriptions paired with a large collection of detailed illustrations, the text serves as a clinical reference for practicing thoracic surgeons and an instructional resource for trainees and students.
