It is a great pleasure and honor to be asked to participate in the
translation of this important and historical volume on thoracic
surgery and to provide this foreword. Martin Kirschner of
Mannheim/Heidelberg was an early pioneer in thoracic and esophageal
surgery. His operation for bypass of the esophagus using the entire
stomach remains a standard of the surgical armamentarium to this
date. The original Kirschner Textbook of Surgery was a standard in
its day. We are fortunate that Professors H. Pichlmaier and F.W.
Schildberg and other colleagues have provided us with this
important modern successor of a classic textbook. The reader is
rewarded by an extensive treatise which includes not only the most
up to date techniques in pulmonary, esophageal, mediastinal, and
chest wall (including breast) surgery but also provides an
excellent perspective on the techniques used by pioneers in the
field. Although some of these early techniques are not commonly
used today, knowledge of their use and application broadens the
capability of the thoracic surgeon. Changing times bring renewed
problems with infectious diseases. Knowledge of the management of
the pleural space and pulmonary infectious problems is a critical
part of the education of the thoracic surgeon.
