Le malattie pneumologiche di interesse chirurgico sono sensibilmente cresciute negli ultimi dieci anni e questo non solo perché il cancro del polmone continua a essere ai vertici delle cause di morte della popolazione, ma anche perché altre malattie, di interesse medico come la BPCO, sono diventate argomento di competenza anche chirurgica, sia per l'opzione del trapianto che per quella della riduzione di volume. Da ciò deriva che la collaborazione tra pneumologo e chirurgo toracico è diventata e diventerà sempre più una interdipendenza destinata a crescere ulteriormente. Il volume sviluppa una miscellanea di argomenti sulle problematiche cliniche che intercorrono tra pneumologo e chirurgo toracico e cardiotoracico, ed è frutto della collaborazione che il gruppo di studio AIPO porta avanti da anni con molte Chirurgie toraciche. Elemento centrale della collaborazione è la valutazione funzionale respiratoria, indispensabile per definire i rischi di operabilità, oggi ben codificati, ma ancora in evoluzione, anche alla luce degli insegnamenti della chirurgia riduttiva nell'enfisema. Questo volume si rivela di estrema attualità su un argomento di notevole importanza per gli specialisti in pneumologia, chirurgia toracica e cardiochirurgia.
