Overview
The authors give an outline of the history of chest surgery from ancient times to the end of the 19th century. They point out the individual milestones of human knowledge which opened the pathway for successful surgical treatment of intrathoracic diseases after solving the many physiologic and pathophysiologic problems that had made these procedures impossible.
Key words:
chest surgery – history – lung resection – anaesthesia
