Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of General Surgery Volume 60, Issue 08: Thoracic Surgery.
The goal of this program is to improve the surgical management of conditions of the thoracic region. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Recognize when surgery is indicated for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS).
2. Select the appropriate surgical approach for treatment of TOS.
3. Describe the anatomy and pathophysiology associated with Zenker diverticulum (ZD).
4. Compare the benefits and risks of the oral vs open surgical approaches to ZD.
5. Diagnose and treat mediastinitis.
