A2 - Williams, Marcia A2 - Adams, Ann Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Adult Chest Surgery, 2e AB - The ability to select patients appropriately, perform a competent pulmonary lobectomy, and manage patients safely in the postoperative interval epitomizes the skills of a good general thoracic surgeon, more than any other aspect of the job. Lung cancer patients comprise a majority of general thoracic surgical patients, and lobectomy, particularly the extended versions (i.e., sleeve lobectomy and lung and chest wall resection), constitutes most of a general thoracic surgeon's work. In no other endeavor does a thoracic surgeon have more impact on his or her patients.
