General Thoracic Surgery (General Thoracic Surgery (Shields)) [2 VOLUME SET]
Respiratory Care, Volume 51, Issue 1 -- "This edition considers the full spectrum of thoracic surgery and distinguishes itself from similar monographs, which often do not include detailed discussions of esophageal surgery.  The 2-volume text is organized logically, with an unambiguous table of contents and a meticulous index. It's relevant to pulmonologists, radiation and medical oncologists, respiratory therapists, and nurses.  Undoubtedly, the highlights of the book are the chapter on surgical anatomy, the chapter on physiology of pleural fluid, and the section on lung carcinoma.  The first 2 chapters are classic reading for thoracic fellows, general surgery residents, and medical students.  The section on lung carcinoma is so comprehensive and detailed that it could easily serve as a monograph independently.  These chapters are the backbone of this book and they account for its immense popularity and success over 3 decades."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
