About this book

The diagnosis and treatment of both congenital and acquired thoracic pathologies in children and adolescents require a high degree of specialization. This book provides practical guidelines for thoracic surgeons who operate on patients from neonatal age to adolescence and for pediatric surgeons who are challenged to treat disorders such as cystic malformations of the lung, mediastinal tumors, or chest wall deformities. The chapters, written by internationally acclaimed authors, include expert commentaries with tips and tricks for the clinical practice.
