2006 Outcomes Report
Introduction
The Section of General Thoracic Surgery, Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Cleveland Clinic, is pleased to present our 7th edition of Outcomes.
Every year, additional therapeutic approaches for thoracic disease become available, and we have presented some windows into the future of new technologies.
The outcomes reported here are the result of the collaborative efforts of general thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, thoracic anesthesiologists, and medical and radiation oncologists. In the future, treating patients with aerodigestive disease will become ever more complex and exciting as new surgical and medical technologies emerge. Maintaining a high level of care for our patients will require maintaining a high level of collaboration both within the Clinic and with our colleagues throughout the country and the world.
We hope that you will find this information helpful and thought provoking.
Bruce W. Lytle,
M.D.
Chairman, Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
