It would be unfair to single out any surgeon in particular, yet every team needs a vision, a driving force, an individual who is able to articulate that vision, recognize talent, acquire resources, seize opportunity, delegate responsibility, and lead. That is the hidden message of this book. Every surgeon who contributed to this volume is a leader in his or her own right. More than just a compilation of technical procedures, every author is trying to tell you something important, something they learned from the school of hard knocks, something that can make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful operation, and something that may impact your career in thoracic surgery. This impressive list of contributing authors also emphasizes the number of national and international surgeons who have dedicated their careers to the pursuit of general thoracic surgery. These individuals are the product of a focused and dedicated approach to general thoracic surgical training as practiced at multiple institutions worldwide.
