Clinical Scenarios in Thoracic Surgery

This unique case-based review of thoracic surgery offers
excellent preparation for oral board examinations, which
emphasize both general knowledge and case management. Written by
recognized experts, the book presents a variety of cases
covering the full spectrum of thoracic surgical diseases. Each
case begins with the clinical presentation and proceeds to X-ray
report, differential diagnosis, CT scan report, diagnosis and
recommendation, surgical approach, outcome, and discussion. X-
rays, CT scans, bronchoscopic photographs, and other relevant
illustrations accompany the text. Some cases include
postoperative complications and discussion of the causes,
evaluation, and management of these complications.
