Some important features include: # Congenital and acquired diseases of the chest and congenital diaphragmatic herniation # Phrenic nerve palsy and thoracic cage anomalies # Tumors of the chest wall, lung, and mediastinum # Chest injuries in children, lung biopsy, and bronchoalveolar lavage # Management of empyema, bronchiectasis and lung abscess # Fetal surgery, heart, lung, and heart-lung transplants and the ethical implications of these procedures For all who treat infants and children with thoracic disease - general surgeons, pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, - Pediatric Thoracic Surgery is an invaluable guide that sets the standard of surgical care now and for years to come.
