This new addition to the Sabiston family of surgical source books guides readers through all of the significant procedures in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, including bronchoscopy, thymectomy, cardiac transplantation, lung biopsy, and much more. Clear illustrations and precise, step-by-step narrative offer a "you are there" review of both major and minor operation for adults and children. The procedures featured are those used daily by surgical staff members at Duke. They have been performed on many patients over an extended period of time and are acknowledged to be effective. The 17 surgeons who explain them were specially selected by Dr. Sabiston for their knowledge and expertise. 13 chapters detail the latest thoracoscopic procedures, including pulmonary wedge resection, resection of blebs and pleurodesis, left nymph node biopsy and aortopulmonary window, excision of mediastinal tumors, truncal vagotomy, and much more! The Atlas includes a first-time-ever presentation of Dr. James Cox's Maze III procedure for atrial fibrillation. 29 original, step-by-step figures accompany this historic contribution. More than 600 easy-to-follow drawings allow readers to understand the main points of each surgery on sight...without unnecessary orientation. The techniques are clear and easy to follow. Each "stepwise" illustration is described by a surgeon, who explains in precise terms the specific features of each part of the procedure. This narrative is placed directly beneath the drawing, ensuring easy readability. This is the only atlas to complement the leading text in thoracic surgery - Sabiston & Spencer's SURGERY OF THE CHEST.
