The current edition of these two volumes is substantially changed from the previous two editions. One important change is the title. The previous editions were entitled Thoracic Surgery and Esophageal Surgery. The current volumes are renamed Pearson's Thoracic and Esophageal Surgery. This change acknowledges the enormous impact Dr. Pearson has had on developing, practicing, teaching, and research in the discipline we have come to know as general thoracic surgery. Dr. Pearson was the senior editor of the first two editions of this text, and, with his appointment as honorary editor to this edition, the editors decided the change in name was timely. It should be noted that virtually all of the authors of the previous and current editions have been students, partners, or colleagues of Dr. Pearson or were themselves trained by one of Dr. Pearson's trainees.
This edition was developed and executed by a new editorial board. With the untimely death of Dr. Robert Ginsberg and the retirement of Drs. Harold Urschel and Clem Hiebert from the editorial board, we were given an opportunity to add illustrious new members. Dr. James Luketich brings an international reputation for the development of minimally invasive surgery and other innovative techniques in thoracic surgery. Drs. Tom Rice and Toni Lerut have both made major contributions to the field of esophageal surgery. They shared principal responsibility for editing the esophageal volume. Of course, Dr. Lerut also brings an important international perspective to this edition and was able to recruit a number of international experts as authors. As in prior editions, Drs. Joel Cooper and Jean Deslauriers continue to make important contributions to the thoracic volume. It has been my privilege to serve as senior editor of this edition.
The editorial board has reflected on the recent passing of two outstanding thoracic surgeons, both of whom were influential in the evolution of this textbook. In recognition of their contributions, the thoracic volume is dedicated to Dr. Robert Ginsberg and the esophageal volume is dedicated to Mr. Ronald Belsey. These volumes have not previously been dedicated, but the appropriateness of these dedications is evident by the tributes to these great surgeons that follow on subsequent pages.
The content of these two volumes has changed dramatically to reflect developments in the 6 years since the last edition. The vast majority of chapters are new additions or prior topics rewritten by new authors. The authorship represents an excellent collection of expertise from North American and international contributors.
These thoracic and esophageal volumes embody the enthusiasm and exciting developments that characterize general thoracic surgery internationally. The biology of diseases we confront is being clarified by outstanding basic and clinical research. Clinical staging of thoracic malignancies, although still not perfect, is much more accurate than only a few years ago. Innovative surgeons have developed and refined minimally invasive techniques for many operative procedures we perform routinely. National and international societies as well as an increasing number of institutions continue to commit to the development of general thoracic surgery. Postgraduate training and curriculum requirements demand attention to and focus on general thoracic surgery. Although we as practicing thoracic surgeons benefit from this progress, the ultimate beneficiaries are the young surgeons attracted to this exciting field and, of course, our patients.
