This text argues that the thoracic cavity lends itself to minimal access surgery, and that the potential for thoracoscopic minimal access surgery or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is as great, if not greater than laparoscopic surgery.

Minimal access thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized for its considerable potential in treating lung and chest disease, reducing hospital stay, decreasing patient's post-operative discomfort and improving cosmesis.

This definitive and highly practical book is written by an international team of experts with chapters on every aspect of thoracoscopic surgery, including clearly-defined indications and post-operative management. Cardiac and oesophageal procedures, as well as pulmonary operations, are described in a deliberately easy-to-follow manner, accompanied by high-quality artwork. A final chapter is devoted to the future of minimal access cardiac surgery.
