This review is from: Handbook of Perioperative Care in General Thoracic Surgery, 1e (Mobile Medicine) (Paperback)

The book is perfect for unexperienced thoracic surgeons. I've just engaged Thoracic surgery residence, and it helps me solving many problems. It's a complement for other thoracic surgery books, like Shields, and Pearson, and it is signed by Dr. Deslauriers, fact that adds quality and thrustability (if this is the word, sorry...). You wil realyy enjoy it.
