About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This book offers expert instruction on thoracic surgery through a cervical approach, covering current applications thoroughly and discussing future uses. … The book is written for practitioners and trainees in thoracic surgery. … This is a very useful book for practitioners of thoracic surgery interested in performing procedures through a cervical incision. It offers a detailed discussion of a topic often only covered in a textbook chapter. It will be a good addition to any reading on thoracic surgery.” (Michael Bates, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2014)
