Published Reviews

"This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive textbook on surgery of the chest...[It] must be considered an essential reference source not only for all thoracic surgeons, but also for all physicians, residents, and students concerned with diseases of the chest." - Annals of Surgery, review of the last edition

"This is simply the most comprehensive textbook in the specialty. It reviews all the important topics in an organized fashion and in great depth. The rapidly evolving nature of the specialty demands the replacement of the previous edition with this new updated edition."- Doody’s 5 stars!
