Features: The contraindications in thoracic surgery are difficult to determine because medicine is a science that constantly challenges the boundaries of what is forbidden. As early as the 19th century, thoracotomy was considered a medical contraindication. After the invention of anesthesia, thoracotomy gained acceptance and gradually developed into the field of thoracic surgery. Therefore, the contraindications discussed in this book are based on current medical theories, aiming to align with China's newly promulgated Practice of Medical Practitioners Law and Medical Treatment Accident Handling Measures, while also incorporating international latest advancements. The goal is to provide a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the fundamental theories and operative techniques of thoracic surgery, contributing in a small way to the development of thoracic surgery in China. This book covers clinical foundations, esophageal surgery, pulmonary surgery, mediastinal surgery, and chest wall surgery, striving to concisely, comprehensively, and accurately outline common thoracic surgical diseases and their principles of management. It is designed for thoracic surgeons to consult during training and to quickly grasp the fundamental theories, management principles, and contraindications of thoracic surgery. Of course, as a mature thoracic surgeon, one must understand that these theories must be integrated with clinical practice.
