Clinical Practice Guidelines

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has developed evidence based guidelines to provide practical assistance for STS members.

The Workforce on Evidence Based Surgery has conducted thorough research of each guideline topic through an exhaustive review of clinical information. The conclusions and recommendations are based on an exhaustive review of scientific evidence published in the medical literature.

New! Three of the STS Clinical Practice Guidelines are now available for a free download to your PDA or Smartphone. Go to www.skyscape.com and type "STS Guidelines" in the search function at the top of the page and follow the download instructions.
