Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery: Principles and Practice of Thoracoscopic Technique (PDF)

By Marco Scarci

This book presents a comprehensive, practical, and timely overview of all aspects of thoracic surgery using video-assisted, minimally invasive techniques. These techniques are increasingly being utilized to treat a range of conditions affecting the lung, pleura, mediastinum, chest wall, and diaphragm.

The content begins with an overview of the rationale for minimally invasive surgery and provides guidance on when to consider converting to open surgery. It also covers important aspects related to anesthesia and peri-operative considerations. The subsequent sections of the book are organized by anatomical site, presenting the range of procedures performed.

The text is enhanced with numerous figures and diagrams that provide detailed step-by-step instructions for each technique. The book is authored by an authoritative, international team of experts who share their clinical experiences and provide expert guidance.
