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.
