McManus's Highly Opinionated Textbook of Thoracic Surgery

This textbook is an attempt to make sure our cardiothoracic trainees do not leave the unit with confused ideas about the way we approach and treat thoracic diseases. I hope surgeons from other centres will enjoy reading "the way we do things in Belfast". It is not all-encompassing but is meant to be thought provoking. It will be updated on a regular basis. Please feel free to comment.
