Textbook or references for Thoracic Surgery?

I'm starting 2 months of dedicated CT surgery in a few days. Does anyone have suggestions for reading materials? In the past, I've just used the thoracic chapters from Sabiston, Mastery of Surgery, and Operative Anatomy (Scott-Conner). However, I just discovered that Cameron's has basically no thoracic surgery chapters, and I feel Sabiston is too brief.

I did find "Operative Thoracic Surgery" by Kaiser in the resident library. Any feedback on this book?

Blade? I know you have some favorites......

Does this mean nobody has suggestions? Are there no good references out there?

I'd like to know too, because CT surgery is what I'm interested in.

best overall book for gen surgery rotating on a CT service-

mastery of cardiothoracic surgery by larry kaiser 2nd edition
-gives a brief overview of how to do each operation and why. very similar to a cameron book in length of chapters (short)

another thought would be current thoracic surgery (yang), it is abit outdated though.


last- old faithful. techniques in general thoracic surgery by hood.
OLD book, but breaks down each thoracic operation into 1-2 pages of easy steps. hard to find, but your library may have a copy. if not, your attendings certainly have copy on their shelves

I also skimmed Kaiser's book but then mainly relied on Sabiston's.
