Benign lung diseases are a group of non-cancerous conditions that affect the lungs. While they are not as common as malignant lung diseases, they can still cause significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical management is often the best option for treating benign lung diseases, and this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest techniques and procedures.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

The first step in managing benign lung disease is to make an accurate diagnosis. This can be done through a combination of physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Once a diagnosis has been made, the surgeon must then evaluate the severity of the disease and determine the best course of treatment.

Surgical Treatment Options

There are a variety of surgical treatment options for benign lung diseases. The most common procedure is lung resection, which involves removing a portion of the lung. Other procedures include bullectomy, pleurectomy, and diaphragm plication. The choice of procedure will depend on the specific disease and the patient's overall health.

Postoperative Care

After surgery, patients will need to be closely monitored and cared for. This includes monitoring for complications, such as bleeding, infection, and pneumonia. Patients will also need to be taught how to care for their incision and how to prevent future complications.

Surgical Management of Benign Lung Disease is an essential guide for thoracic surgeons, offering a comprehensive review of the latest advances in diagnosing and treating non-malignant lung diseases.
