Features: The contraindications in thoracic surgery are difficult to determine because medicine is a science that constantly challenges contraindications. As early as the 19th century, thoracotomy was considered a medical contraindication. After the invention of anesthesia, thoracotomy gained recognition 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 Medical Practitioners Law and Medical Accident Handling Measures, while also incorporating international latest advancements. It strives to provide a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the fundamental theories and operational techniques of thoracic surgery, in hopes of contributing a small part to the development of thoracic surgery in China. The book covers clinical foundations, esophageal surgery, pulmonary surgery, mediastinal surgery, and chest wall surgery, among other topics. It aims to concisely and comprehensively summarize common thoracic diseases and their treatment principles, serving as a reference for thoracic surgeons during training and practice. With this, thoracic surgeons can quickly grasp the fundamental theories, treatment 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.
