A2 - Williams, Marcia A2 - Adams, Ann PY - 2020 T2 - Sugarbaker’s Adult Chest Surgery, 3e AB - The ability to select appropriate patients, perform a competent pulmonary lobectomy, and manage these patients safely in the postoperative interval defines a good general thoracic surgeon, more than any other part of the job. Lung cancer patients make up the majority of general thoracic surgical patients. Lobectomies, including the extended versions (i.e., sleeve lobectomy and lung and chest wall resection), constitute the majority of a general thoracic surgeon’s work. In no other endeavor does a thoracic surgeon have more impact on his or her patients.
